Purrmaid Aoife

Aoife, pronounced “Eee-fa” and meaning ‘beautiful’, was born with severe hip dysplasia and a spinal abnormality, which has resulted in hind leg paralysis and incontinence but she’s otherwise a healthy girl and isn’t in any pain or discomfort. 

Aoife was found in a shelter as an orphaned 2 week old kitten, and was fostered by Shanta @triumphant_teagan, before going to her forever home with Sabrina and Jimmie.

About the tough little cutie, Shanta said, “By watching her here you would not know the challenges her little body must face. But those challenges do not equal an unworthiness to live a life filled with love and joy.”
