South Florida cat born with backward hind legs

A South Florida veterinarian is raising money to help a rescued kitten who was born with backward hind legs.

According to its owner, the cat named Clubby was found underneath wood planks during a raid at a property where about 128 cats were found in deplorable conditions.

“No air conditioning. No lights. They were in their own feces. Some of them immediately had to be euthanized," veterinarian Lisa Bennett, who found the kitten, said.

“He was just a little tiny kitty when I accidentally came to find him all alone after hearing a shallow cry for help," Clubby's owner wrote on a GoFundMe page set up to help the cat. "It was just so sad to see him crawling from underneath huge wood boards as if this was his last chance for survival, but I knew then he was not a quitter and I promised him I would try my best to make his life better from that moment on.
