"they don't need your pity, they need your support" I'm physically disabled and this is exactly it!!! So many people will look at disability in both humans and other animals as such a sad thing, but it's really just a neutral thing. There's parts that are bad (I have severe chronic pain and that wouldn't go away even if society changes), but most of it is just my normal life. Most of the reasons disabled people are disabled is because society has not accommodated us or even thought about us at all. And then there's the people who look at disabled people as inspirations, and that's just as bad, honestly. I've seen people do that with disabled animals, as well. Don't ignore the disability, but don't make it the only thing you see! I'm really proud(? Encouraged?) of what you're doing with disabled kittens. It's incredibly heartwarming to see someone willing to help these kittens be kittens! My goal is to one day be able to take care of sick, disabled, and/or elderly cats and kittens, and be able to provide them with a good home and support system to be the best cats they can be. Unfortunately, that goal is still quite a ways off - I need help looking after myself right now, and my family and I have a cat that's as much work as several kitties haha but someday!

Honestly as somebody who is disabled (and is able to live a mostly normal life thanks to my work/way I worked hard to counter my disability) having people go "You're such an inspiration" At first it felt nice.... then it started getting old. It's like "C'mon, I'm just doing what you guys do, I didn't solve world peace or end world hunger lol" It's like people want to mollycoddle us instead of yanno, treating us like we're normal people. I think my favorite people are the people who will give me a strong handshake as I give them a strong handshake back (even though I have muscle issues) and will treat me like I'm normal person.

All she did was cry out to me at night and I'd just cry with her, her little meows were so weak, it broke my heart to see her in that state. Lol I of course, cried when she finally pooped and was starting to feel better. (she's a spoiled 5 year old cat now ❤)

As a physically disabled person who loves cats and has fostered a lot of kittens in the past (nowhere near as many as you), I am so, so super happy to see that James is doing well now and that he's living the life. All that kitten energy is beautiful, especially when you see it from a kitten who was previously very sick. Thank you for helping him get strong enough to use his body in the best way possible and for treating him as capable. Keep it up, James. You got this. Oh, and thank you for embracing the social model of disability (that the environment isn't accessible) much more than the medical model of disability (that there's something wrong with the body of the person or animal and the way they have to exist in it). It warms my heart that you see it that way, even in cats. There's nothing wrong with James. He's just existing in his body the way it was made. He'll still be just as good a cat to someone with two legs as he would be with four - and honestly, maybe even better because of what he's had to deal with.

As a person who suffers from extreme constipation (I'm on a med that has changed my life and I'm doing much better,) I can tell you that getting all that stool out was such a big relief for him. When I was constipated (and not as bad as little James,) I only felt like lying around. It's miserable. When my functions are more normal, my energy increases exponentially! I'm beyond happy for James and so thankful that you were there for him. Much love to you and James and all your fosters!

Isabelle Marshall it’s actually pretty easy to get started fostering cats/kittens if you have the time and a good home environment for little kitties. you can ask your shelter directly if they need help, or you can look online for organizations near you. you’ll probably have to fill out some kind of form, but they’re always looking for new people and as long as you’re a trustworthy person and have a good home and schedule, they’ll most likely accept your offer to help! you’ll also probably be able to decide what cats/kittens you want to foster, based on your needs and what you’re capable of doing. so don’t worry, you won’t have to solve a case like james’ if you don’t feel comfortable.

Isabelle Marshall it’s super easy! Just look up websites of any rescues or shelters in your area and there should be information about their foster program. You can usually fill out an application to be a foster through their website and they will contact you. I go through 2 rescues and our county’s animal control. They call me when they have kittens to see if I can take them and then the rescue handles everything with the adoption process. Kitten Lady’s website has lists of everything you would need to be prepared for caring for kittens. You don’t have to take special needs or newborns you can let them know what you are comfortable taking. It’s so rewarding!

About 2 months ago, we found a kitten with paralyzed legs. I didn't think he was going to survive the first night we brought him in, but he did. We decided to keep him. At first he had absolutely no movement in his tail or rear legs. His rear legs were nothing but bone, we couldn't feel muscle in them. After exercising him, massaging him, feeding him and loving him, he can freely move his tail and is building muscle in his legs. He can kick, pull his legs up and squeeze his toes. He hasn't stood on his rear legs yet, but he is getting stronger everyday. He bolts around the room, plays with everything and loves to snuggle. I love my little Koda so much. It makes me so happy knowing that we were able to save him and give him a happy life. I love seeing your videos. They are so encouraging as I go through this new journey with my kitten. I wish little James the best. It is amazing how far he has come.

As a foster mom I already work with kittens with health issues, and I am an animal caretaker as well. Taking care of animals is super rewarding you’re right ☺️

I'm so happy to see him running around like this. He's gorgeous.

From the beginning his spirit was of a fighter and survivor. He didn't fit the profile of dead cat walking or in his case crawling. He has no idea how close he was to a very short life. Thanks for the love and amazing work you do for these little guys. They are very lucky to have you and your organization around.

He seems like such a sweet boy I'm glad he is doing better.

So glad James is doing so good. He looks so happy and gets around so we'll. Thanks for not giving up on him.

so glad that the boy is learning he can be much more than he was now that he's feeling better. you'll have him ready to go to a forever home carrying his own suitcase.

Earlier I watched the first part of James' life adventure, and then desperately searched for this update. Apart from being so happy to see the difference and happiness in this little guy, and learning about how to help kittens like this, my heart swells with love and gratitude for Hannah and Andrew. I could write an essay on that. What incredible human beings you are. In these ghastly times where darkness is working flat out to dominate our planet, beings of light and love like you are evidence that Love will reign supreme.

I can't wait to see James as he gets older and more adept at moving himself around. What a good lil guy.

Honestly I feel like a lot of this advice might be good life advice for me while I deal with my PTSD, depression, and anxiety 😅. •Adapt the environment. •Don’t coddle (but maybe an assist is needed) •Daily exercise (sub bullet: baby steps with what motivates you) •Address all health needs •Don’t see what’s not there. See what is there.

James is such a sweetie and so cute. God bless you for taking such good care of him.

New to this channel, amusing that the first video I saw was about giving a tiny kitten an enema. Hannah, your love, enthusiasm, and knowledge are wonderful. After seeing this video, and videos of paralyzed kittens or with swimmers, you can teach all of us about physical therapy for cats! God bless you and Andrew.

Listening to this really hit home with me and gave me several ideas for dealing with one of my own rescues. Mine is not physically or mentally disabled. But, she was so traumatized from what she went through before I got her that she's still having a hard time getting along with the other cats in the household. So, the main work with her is reteaching her how to socialize with other cats just like she used to as a foster kitten at a friend's house before her original owners took her and dropped her into a different, yet very bad living situation. Anyways, my issue has been trying to not over coddle her in an emotional sense. So, this both reminded me of watching out for that an other things i can do to continue to help her out when it comes to her current living situation. Thanks. ^-^

He looks so much stronger now!! Super amazing, I'm glad he's doing so well!

Awe! I have a Lynx-Point Siamese- "M.I.A." -who was born with only her front legs. They are super special & VERY independent sweet souls! 🥰 Definitely requires a specialized diet, litter, litterbox & activities to keep her healthy & active so patience is a must-have!

My kitty, Lilac, has the same condition. Her rear feet never formed and she is tiny, at under 5lbs. She was found in the wild caring for her litter of kittens, and was taken care of by a foster family before I adopted her so I didn't have to go through much of what you did in this video. But, having also previously had a 3-legged cat, I can say that your advice is spot-on about not coddling them too much. My 3-legged kitty had absolutely ZERO mobility issues and could climb and get on top of anything in the house that she wanted to. The only thing she couldn't do was scratch one side of her face, and she trained me pretty quickly on how to do that for her. And, Lilac has me equally well trained to care for her scratching needs. I did have to make some slight alterations to the house to make things easier on Lilac, like cutting in a cat door in the wall between the living and laundry rooms. That way, she doesn't have to traverse the linoleum of the kitchen. Of course, she has zero problem on the linoleum when I'm cooking something that smells good. Like James, she's SUPER food motivated! I also had to train her to get comfortable using the stairs to get up on the bed just like you did for little James. I'm so glad to see him thrive like my little Lilac! You do amazing work! Also, if anyone is interested in poorly shot, unedited videos of Lilac, just look at my channel.

MY EYES ARE SWEATING ❤️ GO JAMES GO!

Hannah .. you're so wonderful with these animals! It always warms my heart to watch ... 😻

There are definitely days when she doesn't feel great, but after years of this we have a system (it also helps she has 2 younger siblings). I know it's not the same as James situation but cats with mobility issues always need support. 💕

That’s so sweet. I’d love that kitten all day. 💕❤️

I have been checking regularly just to see an update on James Glad to see he is more than good :)

thank you for teaching the difference between coddling and accommodating. i have some physical and mental disabilities that are mostly manageable day-to-day. oftentimes i’ll have people tell me i’m a hypocrite for not wishing i was “cured” but still asking for support. i don’t want to change who i am or what i’ve faced, i want compassion and a little extra help for things that are difficult for me. i’m not asking to have life handed to me but i also should have my disabilities acknowledged and aided where they can be. it’s easy for people to lose faith and compassion for difficult cases like james’, so thank you for standing up for these little guys

You got this little guy just in the nick of time! He’s so lucky to have a foster Momma that doesn’t feel sorry for him and “sprung into action” quickly. I am sure seeing him grow and thrive is rewarding for you and Andrew. Keep up the fantastic work

“They don’t need our pity they need our support” me: those are the most beautiful words I’ve ever heard 😭😭😭

Seeing him like this after what you went through with his health issues made me cry. I am a 50 year old man and am not ashamed to say that. You are an amazing person to do what you did for him. If I could adopt him I would. CANADA. JAMES deserves a parade or a big party.

Just to clarify one thing: the hat is not stupid, it's genius! The idea you had was just amazing and it helped! It did not look stupid, it looked like it was a big help for him and I'm very happy for that ❤ you are an amazing person and a great inspiration for a lot of people.

YAAAY, JAMES IS BACK! I'm so happy to see him in such a good shape! Will continue to send lots of positive energy to you guys and James! Love what you're doing!

What a beautiful outcome. Lots of hard work by you, James, and your veterinary hospital.

Kitten Lady, thank you for rescuing, fostering, and taking care of his medical needs. I understand about not coddling him. Coddling him will create a hos of problems, most of which could be prevented.

Thank you for the update. I was wondering about James. It was wonderful hearing he is okay.

AAAHHHHHH that picture of Chloe the paralyzed kitten just made me rewatch her video again Lol She was maybe one of my favorite kittens you’ve fostered, wish I could have adopted her XD

That kitten is amazing!!! I did cry but whats the point? He doesnt care that he has a lot of problems, all he cares about is love and i wish him well!! WE LOVE YOU JAMES!!!

You’re so right about the coddling. It’s tempting to become overprotective, but it’s so much better for the cat to let them be independent! Although not a case like this, I remember cat sitting for a friend a couple of times - the cat was elderly and arthritic, so mobility was very limited. The very first day I had her I felt so bad and would nervously carry her everywhere, lift her up to places every time she cried, etc. But I knew I couldn’t do that while at work, nor was it ideal getting woken up several times in the night to her cries each time she wanted to move. So the next day I placed several chairs, boxes etc (had to make do with what I owned) around the areas she liked to create stairs for her, and made sure she had pathways to go between rooms and get her food, water and litter. She was so much happier the next day! The only cries were the “FEED ME” ones, otherwise it was purrs all round. She slept next to me each night and sat with me everywhere - lots of snuggles and biscuit making. The moment I stopped coddling and adapted my living space a little to allow her independence made her so much happier and more relaxed. I did still spoil her with treats and cuddles though 😂 So glad to see James is doing so well after his health scares!

omggg James is soooo cute! And when I read the title I thought of Chloe the kitten with paralyzed back legs🥺

The best part of any cat it's their belly! (I may have accidentally conditioned my cat to give me his belly alllllll the time! If you so much as look at him, he flops belly up, he sleeps belly up, etc. Lol) James has the best belly I just want to rub it!

Watching these not only give me hope in humanity but, make me so happy the cats are in great care

It's so great to see him playing after all those other internal issues he was having. I was so afraid he wasn't going to make it or be able to even poo. You can tell he feels better. A perfect, happy baby.

Such amazing advice! James is adorable, he looks like a little fruit bat😻

Oh my goodness James. You are the cutest little kitty! Also I love you so much kitten lady!!

You will be met with thousands of kitties at the pearly gate, many years from now! You and Jackson Galaxy are really the #1 people to teach us all how to take care of the fur babies in our lives, either by fostering or a forever home. Thank you and much love to you little guy!

It's so great to see James thriving, he's a fighter! Go James!!!

He has come such a long way! I'm so proud of him and you!! 😻😺

Hey Hannah! It's soooo good to see how well James is doing! THANK YOU for taking such great care of him! Keep us updated and keep up the awesome work! GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU! Love you guys!

I teared up, not from pity, but from joy. James is so beautiful and special, I am so glad he has a foster Mom who saw the potential in him. I know not many people wanna take in cases like his and that is what makes you a superhero, you speak for the voiceless and you never give up on an animal unless you absolutely have no other choice. You fight hard for these kittens and that makes you a good role model for young people who want to foster animals. Hannah, I absolutely admire you for all you do for cats and even the other types of animals you've fostered, I would love to do the same one day when I'm able.

You and Andrew have the biggest hearts ever. When you don't know the answer you go elsewhere and you keep going until you find it. YOU CARE!!! Kittens are better for having you in their lives. Amazing!!
