Talented kitten

Looks like I’m almost two years late in finding this adorable video, but better late than never:

Update: Here’s a nice story about Lola’s new life post-adoption.

Hi there…just found your blog through Dumb as a Blog. Do you have any backstory on this kitten (Oddball)?

When I first found this video, I searched online to see if I could find any updates about Lola. I found one story which said that she’d outgrown the leg deformity while still at the Maxfund shelter and had learned to walk normally. However, I can’t find the story again to give you a link to it! I’ll keep searching, and if I come up with it, I’ll definitely post it for you. In the meantime, here are a couple of articles with more details, but they’re both still from 2006. I can’t find any information about Lola’s adoption, or life post-adoption:

Hey, I found the missing story, and I even found one about Lola’s adoptive family! In the first story, the folks at Maxfund say that Lola is learning to walk on her hind legs, but apparently, she never did completely give up her fancy handstand. I’m sorry this isn’t a backstory, in the sense that I don’t know anything about the kitten’s origins, but at least it’s some cute information (and the second link includes a photo slideshow, although I couldn’t get it to work):

About Me

Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary on Facebook

My name is Leigh-Ann, I'm Canadian, and I live in the United States. This gives me great insight on cross-border issues, like American vs. Canadian candy bars, and curling vs. golf. I enjoy coffee but not caffeine, as I like to think I'm agitated enough already. I love animals and birds and fish and even most of the creepy crawlies on the sidewalk and in the garden, but I prefer it when they stay out of the house. I completed the veterinary technology program at Penn Foster, and in 2004 I started Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary with the goal of eventually turning it into a farm-like sanctuary facility for 50+ "unadoptable" cats (we're at 24). Long story short, this is a cat blog, with a dose of dog and parrot, heavy on pet health care talk. If you'd like to make a donation to Wee Paws, click the button below, or click here for more options and ways you can help.

I live with the fantabulous Flippy. I write a blog about fibromyalgia at Tired Girls. Feel free to check out the photo gallery if you want to see 500 pictures of my dogs, cats, birds, etc. Get in touch with me via the "contact" link above - I'm always available for freelance social media marketing work. My background includes 13 years in radio and television. One more thing: this blog was designed to be displayed at 1280 x 1024, because that's just the kind of girl I am.
