The three kittens – Pretzel and her two siblings, Oliver Twist and Curly Sue – were brought to a shelter named Kitten Rescue in Los Angeles after they were abandoned.
The shelter then gave the kittens to Laura Hawthorne to foster. They were just hours old when Laura took them to her home.
Laura told The Dodo: “It was a bit of a rollercoaster ride. When I picked them up from the shelter and they were just hours old and I saw the extent of their deformities, it was a little overwhelming.”
Unfortunately, Oliver Twist couldn’t survive and died that same night Laura brought her home while Curly Sue passed away after 14 weeks.
However, Pretzel, who has missing bones in her legs, a heart murmur, abnormal skeletal development, abnormal pelvic development, and an underbite, refused to give up and is still fighting.

It was a difficult phase for Pretzel but now she has overcome the sadness.
“At my house, there’s never a shortage of foster kittens coming and going, so she had many close friendships during her time with me”, Laura said.
