Family of 2-year-old amputee adopts kitten that lost a limb
A kitten with three legs got a happy ending – she was adopted by a toddler with an amputated arm in Riverside County on Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2015.

Matt and Simone Tipton, from Orange County, have two kids, and their daughter, Scarlette, was born with a rare cancer.
Scarlette had to have her left arm removed at the shoulder when she was just 10 months old in October 2014. “But she’s OK-just like you are too”.
A three-legged kitten won’t be a ideal fit for every home, but there are dozens of normal cats waiting for a forever home at your local animal shelter. “Her paw was hanging off, and my instinct was immediately end her suffering”, Sanders said.
Now cancer-free, her parents have looked to aid her recovery with the adoption of an amputee kitten.
After hearing about the kitten’s miraculous survival story, the Tipton family visited her in the shelter on Christmas eve and on Wednesday this week they formally adopted her.
The kitten was possibly caught up in a fan belt of a auto engine.
Scarlette’s mother, Simone, told Good Morning America, “When we were playing with the cat on the floor, Scarlette noticed it had staples on its side and a drainage tube sticking out, which she had to deal with as well, after her own amputation”.
When the Tipton’s heard about 3-month-old, gray and white Holly and her surgery, they drove to the animal campus to adopt her on December 24. The women rushed the kitten to Riverside Countys San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus in San Jacinto where she is recovering. After hearing about the feline on the news, she knew she found the one.
“She’s actually the only one to ever have her exact type of cancer documented on earth”, Simone Tipton said.
