Paralyzed Rescue Cat Defies The Odds, And Thanks To A Wheelchair, Zooms Around Like A Pro
If there’s one thing we can learn from animals with disabilities, it’s their incredible hunger for life.
This adorable kitten was found in Alaska at just three weeks old. Paralyzed and unable to use his back legs, HarPURR hasn’t let that stop him from playing, zooming, and fully enjoying life.
At the local rescue, Mojo’s Hope, HarPURR found his forever home with Shannon, who even gave him a customized wheelchair. After a short adjustment period, HarPURR was off and running like there was no tomorrow.
His story is a heartwarming reminder that disability is not a limitation. In fact, when approached with kindness, innovation, and love, no obstacle is too big. All of HarPURR’s adventures can be found on Instagram, where he continues to inspire thousands with his resilience and joy.

Despite a tough start, HarPURR is bursting with life. To support his mobility, Shannon introduced him to a wheelchair

After only a week of stress-free adjustment, he was zipping around like it was second nature

He’s so active and energetic that you might not even notice that HarPURR can’t use his back legs. That spirit earned him the nickname “Feisty Tornado of Love”

HarPURR was partially raised by Cindy, a gentle Husky who sadly passed away in 2023. Since then, HarPURR has leaned even more on Shannon for love and support

As someone with a disabled pet, I can say that they absolutely have no idea that they're disabled or that they're any different from normal pets! My dog Stilgar caught distemper as a puppy (he was born on a farm and the farm owner lied that the litter had gotten their vaccinations.) Stilly survived, amazingly (distemper has an 80%-90% fatality rate in puppies) but he has balance and mobility issues, plus he has constant, full-body muscle twitching (myoclonus.) He can run, play, jump, and loves life. He looks a little funny, he walks a little funny, and he's all crooked, but HE has no idea there's anything wrong. It looks like HarPURR lives life the same way - to the fullest! Even disabled pets who need a little extra work/help in their daily life care can be incredibly loving, wonderful pets! st2image-6...00bec9.jpg
