Photographer Monika Malek's project 'I'm Still a Cat' features a total of 100 disabled felines in hopes that potential owners will look past their flaws. Monika Malek/REX Shutterstock

Malek says she's never owned a disabled cat, but has met many of them through cat foundations and people who volunteer their cats for her photo project. Monika Malek/REX Shutterstock

Malek found many of the cats for her project by putting out a call on her Facebook page. "The more I've met them, the more I felt that there's nothing to be afraid [of] and people take animals' disabilities to be exactly as people's disabilities," she says. Monika Malek/REX Shutterstock

Malek also works with pro-animal foundations to photograph cats for adoption announcements. Monika Malek/REX Shutterstock

Many of the cats photographed are either missing a limb, or a facial feature, but Malek says they're still perfect. Monika Malek/REX Shutterstock

"[The cats] still jump everywhere," Malek says. "Cats without one leg are still perfectly well with jumping, meowing and stealing food from the plates. When I understood this, I've wanted to show other people that disabled cat is completely normal cat." Monika Malek/REX Shutterstock

Malek is a cat lover and says she has two of her own. "Every day is better with them," she adds. "I love them purring." Monika Malek/REX Shutterstock
