This courageous kitten has been saved from death, after losing both hind legs when he was born. However, the little one refused to give up, and survived, provided with a special wheelchair by the Tiny Kittens Society.

The kitten named Cassidy was found in a feral cat colony in British Columbia, Canada. Both his hind legs had been chewed off probably by his mother. He survived for nine weeks, as though waiting for help to arrive.

"It is a medical miracle that he survived even a day with such severe injuries, let alone nine weeks. His little body had just about given out from starvation and infection by the time we rescued him, but he never gave up!" the Tiny Kittens Society, members of which saved the kitten, wrote on Facebook.

They decided to help the brave kitten, and asked for assistance from the engineers at Handicapped Pets Canada, an organization that makes special devices for disabled animals.

The company created a 3D-printed wheelchair for the little amputee, thus allowing Cassidy to take his first steps on his own.

The Tiny Kittens Society posted the video on Facebook, with almost 14,000 shares and over 23,000 likes in about a week.

The group has about 1.5 million subscribers, so the video triggered a storm of comments, with hundreds commenting the touching video made them cry with joy.
