Reggie

Reggie came to PAR in the middle of May 2006. His mom had him along with several other kittens that March and at 6 weeks of age all of the kittens were thrown outside. One day while playing hide-and-seek with his littermates, Reggie decided to hide next to the fan in a car. You can probably guess what happened next.. Reggie was brought to PAR with severe fractures/breaks to his front right leg. Dr. Thorpe felt it would be in the best interest to amputate the leg.
I saw a picture of him in the LA View, along with a golden who was pulled from a high kill shelter up north, telling the story about his injuries and the surgery he had to have. As soon as I saw the picture of him, I knew he was the puurfect kitty for me. I rushed to PAR to meet him and start the adoption process. After fostering him for a few weeks, Reggie permently became a member of the family. Even though he only has three legs, Reggie gets around just as well as his brothers and sister. His favorite time of day is when you get home from work and you open the front door. He hops as fast as he can meowing "MAMAMAMAMAMA" at the top of his lungs and jumps into your arms and gives head butts and nose kisses. Reggie will be 5 years old in March and we cherished every moment we have with him since he adopted us.
