Meet Rio, the kitty who went from discarded dumpster kitten to much-loved miracle cat.

After suffering a severe trauma that left her back legs paralyzed, the tiny, helpless kitten was thrown in a dumpster. But, someone found her and brought her to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, where the veterinary team determined there was a chance she would improve with physical therapy – and perhaps even walk normally again. Eventually, she was able to take a few confident steps at a time and even jump up on a cat tree.

Best Friends put a video of Rio on their website and one special person saw her and was certain they were meant to be together.

“It was clear to me that many people … were personally and emotionally invested in ensuring that (she) would have a very happy home,” Bill said. “I could feel that many people were counting on me.” And he wasn’t about to let them – or Rio – down.

Now they are family.

Of course, doggies are nice, too...
