When a litter of kittens was found and brought to Heather Spencer, a volunteer of Idaho-based Simply Cats one of the fur babies immediately caught her eye. It was Winky, who despite being around two months old was so much smaller than her littler mates.

“She was just a few ounces and she was not shy at all. For being so tiny, she was incredibly brave and playful. Winky enjoyed snuggling into my shirt or hanging out on my shoulder,” Spencer told Love Meow.

The little feline was born with dwarfism, had some respiratory issues, leaky eyes, and needed a special diet for chronic constipation. When she got better and marked the three-pound mark, she was ready for adoption, however, her foster parents couldn’t let her go.

“She enjoys laying on my bed and kneading my pink fuzzy pillow while purring loudly,” Spencer added. “Winky is officially mine. She has stolen my heart.”

Martha, the fuzzy, little dwarf horse was brought by her mom Stacy to their R&R Ranch in a very poor condition.

“She was listed on Craigslist. We thought, ‘Something is not right’. We had to get her. Her legs, they just splayed out. She was in a bad condition,” she told The Dodo and added that dwarfs are usually born with some health issues. In Martha’s case, it’s skeletal atavism.

In the beginning, the 12-weeks-old horsie was shy, however, as time passed her personality blossomed. She still had issues with her walking, so they decided to let Martha outside to get her some exercise.

“I love how she’ll just walk over to me when she wants to give me a hug. She is funny. She loves shoelaces. Nibbling them until she unties them. You could just tell Martha was happy. Martha loves the world. Nothing scares Martha. Martha is tiny but fearless. She is just wired to go. And to go fast,” Stacy explained.

The family has recently rescued another dwarf and Martha has taken him under her wing. If you want to see their adventures, check out the gallery below.

Elfie and Gimli are a 5-and-a-half-year-old brother and sister with dwarfism. While being pregnant, their mom Elsie decided she would have their babies in a safe environment, so she showed up on someone’s doorstep hoping they would take her in. So it was! Elsie had 5 babies, 3 of which were normally proportioned, the other two were Elfie and Gimli.

“At 3 months old they were the size of 6 week old kittens, they were still nursing from their mom and not eating hard food,” their human mom shared on Instagram. “How did we end up with them? I happened to be working in the shelter at the time in the adoption and intake department. It was a walk-in surrender, we usually required an appointment but I wasn’t busy at the moment.”

The moment she saw the two felines she immediately knew they had dwarfism. However, they became worried about Elfie and Gimli’s future.

“Along with their dwarfism and the joint issues that come along with that, Elfie suffers from a seizure disorder and both she and Gimli have hypothyroidism,” she added. “Elfie is also not like a regular cat, she can’t jump or climb and sometimes gets herself into sticky situations. She is also a bit slow (physically and mentally) and requires a lot of kitty proofing so that she’s safe.”
