Ariel, a kitten born in the Bradenton area three months ago, came into the world with her umbilical cord wrapped around her legs. She immediately lost both of her hind feet and was so seriously deformed that her veterinarian recommended she be euthanized. But the Humane Society of Manatee County fought to save Ariel, even after a severe infection required them to amputate all of one hind leg and much of another.

The society is looking for a special forever home for Ariel, and trying to get her a wheelchair so she can scoot around on her own.
