Speedo the cat was diagnosed with Swimmer Syndrome which is a rare developmental deformity of newborn cats. The hind limbs, and at times the front limbs as well, are splayed laterally, resulting in an inability or difficulty to stand or walk. Aside from that, he also had nerve damage, which prevented him from walking upright and rendered him incontinent.
Poor Speedo, his chances for adoption were low to nil, so he was placed on the list to be euthanized, even though he wasn’t in any pain and could live a full life despite his disabilities. His foster parents felt he had gotten the raw end of the deal and decided to make this video to give Speedo a fair shot at life, find him a forever home, and save him from euthanasia.
