Functional needs cats are really amazing little beings; they have big hearts and need love just like any other cat, but they may not always be the easiest cats to care for.
The one that makes me touched of these kitties is how cat is very courageous and always willing to enjoy life even when they have physical drawbacks.
Pretzel’s Journey Begins
Allow us to introduce you to one such incredible feline: Pretzel, a young cat who is not only captured the hearts of everyone around her but also amazed them with her brave nature.

With years of experience, Laura has found loving homes for over 275 cats and kittens. But no one have touched her heart as deeply as young Pretzel. This heartwarming journey began when three tiny white kittens were abandoned at a city shelter in Los Angeles when they were just hours old.
Pretzel ready to Pounce
The rescue team acted swiftly to save these fragile lives. They named the kittens Pretzel, Curly Sue, and Oliver Twist, and together, they embarked on a challenging journey of survival.
Facing Adversity
Upon closer examination, the rescuers received heartbreaking news, all three kittens had severe deformities, including many health issues. Given the shelter’s limited resources, they were advised to consider euthanasia as the only option.

For Laura, though, euthanasia was never an option. She said, “I got them home, umbilical cords still attached, and started them on formula, fluids, and antibiotics.
Aftermath of Bath
Regrettably, the kittens were extremely young and frail, particularly tiny Oliver, who didn’t make it. Losing Oliver was a devastating blow. Laura was determined to keep the other two kittens alive.
Pretzels Double-coloured Eyes
Further examinations showed that both Pretzel and Curly Sue had skeletal deformities and even missing bones in their legs and knees. Sadly, the vets also discovered a heart defect in Curly Sue.

That was already a bad sign, and soon after their discovery, the worst happened – Curly Sue passed away from a massive heart attack. Laura said, “She took a piece of my heart with her.”
Pretzel’s Bravery Shines
Realizing what had happened, Laura worried about Pretzel, but she turned out to be the most courageous of all the Three Meowsketeers. She became bigger and strong with an astonishing look, turning into a beautiful feline.

After burning her energy after hours of playing and wrestling with her furry friends, she would transform into a loving cuddler. Pretzel is a cat who refuses to let anything stand in her way of living life to the fullest. Laura said, “Pretzel proves that you don’t have to be ‘perfect’ to live a PURRFECTLY happy life.”
