Meow (hi)! Let me start at the beginning. My new mom found me tumbling across the street after (she thinks) I was hit by a car. I was only eight weeks old. She rushed me to a very special doctor who found nerve damage to one of my legs. The doctor (vet) said I had to have my leg amputated. I didn’t know what that meant, but it made my new mom very sad, because she didn’t know if I would be ok with only three legs. Good news, though: it seems we animals are adaptable and resilient. My mom says I’m amazing! I can jump, climb, and zoom around the house. I love to play (attack) my toys when I am not stalking my new brothers, pups Duke and Bear. My human sister suggested Shadow for my name, but when my human brother saw me, he said I should be Tripod!
