TAAG is a small, foster-based animal rescue group in Western North Carolina, and it is our mission to help all of the animals that come into our care. We don’t turn away kittens or puppies with special needs. Currently, we are caring for a young cat who has no use of his back legs.



Clark came to us when he was about 4 weeks old from one of our local shelters. He had been injured and had lost the use of his back legs. He had no feeling in them at all and was dragging himself everywhere with his legs trailing behind. He made up for his injury with a major personality, and everybody that met him wanted to help find a way to get him mobile.



One big obstacle was finding a cart for such a small kitten. At 4 weeks, Clark only weighed 10 ounces. Unfortunately, no one makes disability carts that small and we couldn’t find anyone who could 3D print one in his size. Clark's foster mom started researching how she could make a cart herself. About twenty attempts and a pair of wooden wheels later, Clark had his cart and there has been no stopping him since.



Clark is just a normal cat and acts like a cat in every way. He doesn't think he has any limitations. He spends his time playing with the other foster kittens, toys, and shoes just like any other kitten. As he grows, his cart gets rebuilt and modified to help keep him upright and mobile.



Although Clark doesn’t know it, he does require special care and that is expensive! He s on a special et dueto food llergies. He also needs equipment such as diapers and new carts as he grows. He is having surgery to remove his back legs, and while this may sound cruel, it is really in his best interest. Without the back legs, which he will never use, he will be more mobile and at less risk for injuries, pressure sores, and infection. As you can imagine, a double amputation is not cheap.



All of you that follow Clark and are fans of special animals, we are asking for your help to raise the funds so we can provide the medical care that Clark needs so he can have the best possible life. Buy a T-shirt for $15 and you will not only get a cool shirt, but you will be helping a very worthy cat who has all the heart and all the love of life of any other kitten. Clark's T-shirt reflects his life - NOLIMITS!
