Swimming Lessons for a Cat

Vita and Mauro take in foster cats with special needs. Sebastian came to them as a kitten through the Little Lion Foundation. He had an injury that left him walking all wrong, so wrong that he wore holes in his skin. They thought he would have to have his leg amputated, but veterinary care, therapy, and patience did a lot for Sebastian. Sebastian started his swimming lessons and learned to dog paddle, because the backstroke would be asking too much of him. The kitten took to water sports better than you wold expect. Swimming allowed him to get a lot of exercise and leg movement without having to bear weight on his paws, and that kind of therapy paid off big time.
