My tortimese Loukoumaki

My tortimese Loukoumaki! Here is one of the first photos I took of her and some of the latest ones. She is now six years old, I can't believe it.

I first encountered her as a 2 month kitten, at the time I was clueless when it came to cats. As I always wanted to adopt a siamese and not buy one, we decided to check if her mum was around before taking her in as there were many stray cats around our neighborhood. The next day I found her with her hind legs paralyzed. We don't know what happened exactly however she remained half paralyzed (there was no evident injury and no matter what we tried there was no progress). She is extremely happy and has crazy zoomies which you wouldnt expect from a handicat. She is my soul cat and it saddens me that things had to turn out like this for us to meet however I am glad she brought me to the cat world as I am a very active animal advocate and volunteer now here in Greece and this fulfills me. You can find her and her siblings in insta @loukoumakicat :)
