Look who’s poised to jump into a new life! Blossom is a tabby kitten and here is what Back Street Kittens has to say about her:
Blossom is the best! She has been through absolute hell but has the absolute best attitude! She doesn't seem know she's missing an arm! She plays just as hard as her sisters and can do everything a normal kitten can!
As soon as you walk in the door she will run up to you and start chirping. Then she will throw herself on the ground, belly up and wiggle...just waiting or your attention. She loves being held and is very clingy after everything she has been through.
Sometimes I can hear up downstairs, just making the cutest little noises to see if I'm around.
She would make a great companion with one of her sisters or even with another young cat. She loves people and other cats, not sure how she will act around children or dogs.

Psst! - If Blossom is taken or isn’t quite for you, perhaps consider another Peach State trikitty such as Bailey, Megamind, Munchkin, Cinema & Inkblot, Onyx, Peggy, or Marissa!
There are also some amazing tripups in the area too: Dale, Dudley, Gaia, Honey Pot, Lee, Remus, Skid, Sprocket, Tribble, Tucker Bama, Miles, Drake, Tanner, Danica, Sylvia, Wonder Dog, Colbert 2022, Stryker, Rayne, Oreo, Zoey, Rainbow, Cracker Jack, Luna, Spot Martin, Arthur, and Benjamin!
And one - wait for it - tribunny, Lincoln!

And if these tripawds aren’t near enough or the right fit for you, perhaps share them with someone who is?

Note: With any tripawd, it’s good to ask about the reason for the amputation if it’s unlisted, just to get a clearer picture of the pet’s health and history. “Unknown” isn’t a dealbreaker, but more info can help you as a pet parent make a more informed decision!

@Purrkins, @jerry - So true! I hope they go together!
All - Maybe consider giving these two a home? And if Blossom’s not the fit for you, or your looking for a tripup instead, good news! I just updated the original post above with 35 other trikitties and tripups in the Peach State! Go take a look and meet some of them!

I neglected to see it the first time I looked. Blossom has two siblings, not one—Buttercup and Bubbles who are not tripawds. Three of them (magic) all so cute!! The beauty of adopting litter mates is that there is no worry that this will work, no introduction phase, less work & fear that it's going to work out it already is. But yes 3 to adopt and 3 to care for has to be considered.
There are so many animals in need of homes. I was VERY UNAWARE of how many until now.

Yes - it is a bit surprising at first.
But it’s brilliant to have a place like Tripawds where people are often actively looking to adopt a tripawd and know this community can support and inform whatever care needs may arise!
