Thanks to a Facebook campaign of months, staff of the Cats Cradle Center in Fargo, North Dakota, were able to arrange a life-saving surgery for Corky, a 7-month-old rescue kitten born with leg deformities. In the video you can see Corky after his operation. He will need a six month recovery period involving daily therapy, before he can walk like a normal cat.
You can still donate for Corky’s surgery costs and his recovery at the shelter’s webpage.

This baringo giraffe calf recently made her debut on the African Plains at the Bronx Zoo, and she was very busy while doing so — nuzzling with mom, romping around her exhibit, and interacting with a surprise visitor — an interloping butterfly.

When Roosevelt was adopted from a rescue shelter, he had limited mobility due to two deformed front legs. His new owner Stephanie wanted him to be able to run and play like any other Border Collie, so she fitted Roosevelt with a $900 pair of all-terrain wheels that let him run everywhere.

This week, Busch Gardens Tampa is celebrating a milestone anniversary for a very special relationship. Monday, April 16 marked the one-year anniversary of the first time park guests got to see an 8-week-old male cheetah cub and a 16-week-old female yellow Labrador puppy start to strike up a friendship that the park’s animal experts expect to last a lifetime.
The pair – later named Kasi and Mtani by park fans via a Facebook poll – spent only supervised play times together at first. Now, a year later, they live together full time at the park’s CheetahRun habitat and even travel together to schools, events and television studios, helping the park’s education team teach the public about the plight of cheetahs in the wild and the importance of Busch Gardens’ conservation efforts.
Park guest can see Kasi and Mtani daily at Cheetah Run, where they spend a portion of each day playing together on the habitat, training with their keepers and exercising with the habitat’s luresystem, designed to encourage the animals to do what cheetahs (and Mtani, too!) do best: run and chase.
