Akey says the minute she saw this precocious kitty she knew she had to take her home and she is so glad she did. Lil’ Bunny may be handicapped, but it does not define who she is.
She plays and moves around all day long, going toe to toe with Akey’s other 2 cats when she wants a to and even tackling them when she’s feeling extra frisky . Lil’Bunny can feed herself, grab toys with her teeth and hops very quickly, so she never lags behind.

How Lil’ Bunny Became Famous
Bunny Cat’s story might not ever have been told if it wasn’t for Akey’s sister-in-law, who started her Instagram page.

Her videos and pictures, showing her hopping from room to room or grabbing a toy string, will strike a chord with anyone and everyone. Akey is hoping to raise awareness about animals with special needs and animal adoption through these photos and videos.
A Very Special Message
Lil’ Bunny may be a cat, but that doesn’t mean others with disabilities can’t learn and be inspired from her. This little warrior shows that with the right attitude and determination anything can be done. Her story can also shed light on the need to adopt animals of all shapes and sizes. Just because a cat or dog has a disability doesn’t mean they can’t be a productive member of the family or will be a financial drain. All animals need and want to be loved and they want to give love too. Adopting a pet, whether it has 2 legs or 4 is something everyone should consider. It will improve their life and yours.
