Paralyzed pets receive love and tenderness from their owners, even though they cannot return the favor the way an able-bodied pet may. However, owners of paralyzed pets say that these animals still express themselves in other ways and are just as loving and loyal as ever before.

They are not sad or depressed about being paralyzed because they have a home and family that loves them, no matter what. Pets with amputated or mangled legs have been known to move around by wiggling their bodies and using the momentum to move forward.

They can use their noses to scratch themselves, as well as wag their tails for happiness. They purr when they are content and nuzzle up to those who love them most.

Cats can be carried like babies or dangle from a shelf or piece of furniture using their claws. Some sit in a wheelchair because they cannot move from the waist down, but others prefer to just crawl around on the ground.

Paralyzed pets are still very much alive and active inside of them even though they can no longer walk or run around. When pet owners have a paralyzed pet, it teaches everyone to become more compassionate and caring toward animals.

By adopting a disabled pet, you will not only be saving a life but also receive all of the beautiful health, social, and psychological benefits that come with sharing your home with a pet. Today, we'd want to introduce you to Sally, the mermaid cat, who is living her best life even though she lacks mobility in her lower half.

Sally The Mermaid Cat

This story is about Sally, The Mermaid Cat, who is paralyzed from below her waist and cannot her back limbs nor can she feel them. Janez, who is Sally’s owner and rescuer, recalls when he saw Sally for the first time, who was just lying there with no possible movement. 

Getting a new life.

Janez talked to his friend about this cat who is lying and isn’t moving a bit; hence he thought Sally was dead. But suddenly Janez saw sally’s front limbs move a bit and after which he realized that Sally was alive and rushed her to a vet. 

Discovering the sad news.

The vet examined sally, took some x-rays of her, and discovered that she had a bullet stuck in her neck. The bullet made Sally paraplegic, so the vet gave her some medication and told Janez that Sally would never be able to walk again. 

Got a home and a caring owner

This made Janez really upset, and he decided to get Sally home and pet her. He has to take a little extra care of Sally than regular pets, but Janez finds happiness in taking care of Sally. 

All the work is worth it.

He has to empty Sally’s bladder all by himself at least more than twice a day. He has to always look out for Sally, ensuring that she is not stuck somewhere or has enough space to move around freely. 

A little extra responsibility.

Janez does have a lot of work and responsibility but seeing sally happy at the end of the day makes it all worth it. One day Janez had his friends over to his house, and they were a little creeped out on seeing the immobile limbs of Sally.

The idea of turning a cat into a mermaid.

This situation popped an idea in Janez’s mind, and he decided to make a mermaid costume for Sally. Even though Sally cannot feel the cute outfit over her limbs, its fuzzy material keeps Sally warm and cozy. 

Living the good life.

Janez just wants everyone to see Sally as an average cat who has suffered a lot but now she is enjoying her life as a cute house pet cat and mermaid. Despite the disability, Sally moves around freely and runs over to her favorite sunbathing spot in the house.

Cuddling spot with Janez

She purrs when happy and cuddles with Janez as any other normal cat would. She also loves going out for walks with the help of her walker and plays in the park and around the house as though she has all her limbs working perfectly. 

Favorite rug!

Janez buys Sally all her medications and other items that make Sally comfortable and make her life a little less complicated. Sally loves rugs, and this one particular one is her favorite one, on which she likes taking sunbaths.

This merbaby craves her snacks.

Watch this fantastic video of Sally and enjoy. It will definitely put a smile on your face!

Paralyzed pets are so loving and special. Although cats seem like they're independent and aloof, there's a lot more to them than what meets the eye.

Share this story with all your loved ones, especially cat lovers, and tell them how nice it feels to take care of a rescued animal, especially if they are disabled. Encourage people to adopt one immediately!
