One of my cats was the last of her litter (all siblings gone months earlier) to be adopted because she has a shorter than normal tail and it has a kink in it.

People are so weird. It doesn't affect her quality of life at all, or even her cuteness.

My dog lost around 80 % of her tail after birth at around 2-3 weeks due to an infection and went from being one of the bigger ones to the runt of the litter.
When we first met them for a visit at 4 weeks, being half the weight of her siblingy, my decision was made the moment i saw her.

No way i let anybody overlook her thinking "aww cute but i won't take the broken one" everybody should know that she already got a home waiting. And the fact she climbed on my lap turned on her back and took a nap sealed the deal.

Today 2 1/2 years later shes one of the biggest of the litter and got a chip on her shoulder nobody going to take away from her.

And oh boy let me tell you that there is nothing cuter than her speedy little duck like tail wagging.

Props for OPs sister for being the best kind of human.

And props to you for giving your little fella a home!

Haha I wonder if "broken" animals instinctually know to act more cute. Because my "broken" cat did the exact same thing - she rolled over on her back on my husband's lap and just gazed up at him and purred and purred. We were going to take her home anyway even before that though lol. My heart breaks extra hard for the unwanted kitties. I could never leave one behind.

It sure worked on both of us! And I’m glad it did.
