Once upon a time in a quiet library (yes, really), a tiny kitten was found with two broken legs and a heart way too big for his teeny body. That kitten was Banksy — a six-week-old baby with the odds stacked against him and the bravery of a lion in a fuzzy little jumpsuit. He went into surgery to fix one of his legs with a metal plate (because why not add “cyborg” to his resume?), but things didn’t go as planned. The leg quickly worsened, showing signs of infection and loss of circulation. Just seven days later, Banksy had to undergo an emergency amputation to save his life. At only seven weeks old, he became a tripod. And that’s when the real Banksy showed up. Banksy might be named after a mysterious street artist, but this little guy is anything but elusive. In fact, he wants to be all up in your business — preferably sleeping on your chest, nibbling your nose, and purring in your ear. Gone was the quiet, calm kitten — and in his place came a chaos gremlin with three legs, no fear, and an unlimited cuddle budget. This boy decided he had places to go, people to love, and he wasn’t wasting another second. He’s amazing with humans of all ages, loves other cats, is totally cool with dogs, and has a special bond with his fellow tripod foster kitten sister, Clover — a friendship so sweet it deserves its own Pixar short. Despite everything he’s been through, Banksy is pure joy in kitten form. He’s soft, snuggly, and sweet with a dash of drama and just the right amount of mischief. Banksy is ready for his forever home — one with plenty of snuggles, snack breaks, and maybe a few noses to nibble on. Are you ready to fall in love with the best three-legged decision you’ll ever make?
