Catawampus: The Story of a Crooked Cat by Lori Hoffman Penna

Catawampus is a stray cat who was born with short, bent front legs. Because his legs don’t look or work like everyone else’s, he feels like he doesn’t fit in. When he is captured and brought to a shelter, the other cats there snicker and call him odd. But Catawampus has a dream of living in a home with a family, and the lonely cat knows he must come up with a plan to make others like him. When he is time and again let down for being different, it’s ultimately a kindred spirit who makes his dream come true.
