How Buttons the Cat, Paralyzed and Headed for Death Row, Found a Home
ave you ever known someone who has gone above and beyond so a special-needs cat could have the best life possible?
This is the story of Buttons and his person Becca. Buttons could have easily been put down because of an accident that left him paralyzed in the back legs. Instead, Becca stepped in, took care of Buttons, and has made his care an easy and daily part of her life.
Buttons is an (almost) five-year-old gray striped male tabby with beautiful green eyes. Becca says that Buttons has a positive "can-do" attitude and never lets anything get him down.
An accident in a door almost meant euthanasia
Becca first met Buttons through her work as a vet tech. A few years ago, Dr. Ellen Jefferson, the executive director of Austin Pets Alive! was treating some animals at the clinic where Becca worked. The doctor mentioned that she needed a temporary foster for a new kitten APA had just picked up. The kitten had been dropped off at the shelter for euthanasia because he had gotten stuck in a door jamb when a door was closing and now couldn't use his back legs.
