Meet Winky, The Tiny Kitten With Dwarfism Who Was Rescued From A Cat Colony With 18 Other Kitties!

When Simply Cats, a cat rescue based in Boise, asked Heather to foster a litter of seven kittens who were rescued from a colony near her home in Kuna, Idaho, she eagerly agreed. “I have a friend who does TNR [trap-neuter-return] and she was working on a really large colony,” explains Heather. “She ended up catching 19 kittens.”
At the time, Heather had a lot of experience rescuing and fostering felines, but she didn’t have any experience caring for cats with dwarfism, and two out of the seven kittens she agreed to foster were born with the rare condition, including Winky.
“When we first saw her, she looked like a little elf,” says Heather. “My husband and I love Harry Potter, so we named Winky after the female house elf in the Harry Potter books.” In fact, when Heather started fostering Winky on October 3, 2019, the little kitten was so tiny, she fit in the palm of her hand despite being nearly two months old.

I have a dwarf cat!! Nessa was found at about 3 weeks of age. I took her in and never gave up on her. She is now eight years old and is about the size of a normal six month old cat. She has seizures on occasion and is allergic to vaccinations so she can never go outside, had cronic diarrhea for the first six years of her life and has a soft cartilage problem in her joints that causes her to suffer from some balance issues but with perseverance and several diet changes she is the most stable she has ever been. She is my little love bug and I wouldn't trade her for anything. ❤🐈‍⬛❤
