Aw, Kat, I've just read your post - what a wonderful job you're doing! Just to let you know, I took on a kitten 3 years ago, who had had to have one of her front legs & her tail amputated due to having been very cruelly treated. She was only about 6 weeks old when I got her and she settled in well with my other 4 adult cats (2 elderly sisters & a mum & daughter). Mischa, as I called her, is now fully grown and beautiful (she always was!) and although she's an indoor cat, because she can't climb trees to get away from anything that might chase her, she enjoys life to the full. Little monkey!
