Saltwater Taffy, the Lobster-claw Kitty

This cute kitten, named Saltwater Taffy, was born with radial agenesis, a condition in which the foreleg bones don't form properly. She was picked up by Philadelphia's Animal Care and Control Team and placed with a foster family along with her two litter mates. Saltwater Taffy gets around somewhat on her twisted limbs, and is undergoing physical therapy to strengthen her front legs. An online fundraiser is helping to pay for her medical care and possible future surgery. You can follow her progress on Facebook and see more pictures at Buzzfeed. Link
