Early April, she was brought to Friends for Life Rescue Network, a rescue group in Los Angeles. There she captured the hearts of foster volunteer Mel Lamprey and her husband Zane.
They claim Quill was an "instant cuddle-bug and immediately sought affection from her foster parents."

Jacqueline DeAmor, founder of the rescue, explained the therapy to Love Meow, "Her wrists are warmed up with a heating pad. They are then massaged and stretched to relax the tendons and ligaments in hopes of re-aligning the growing bones."
Soon, Quill will be receiving weekly splints to further help her range of motion. Luckily, she seems completely unfazed by all these obstacles in her way, and doesn't even notice she's different from any other kitten.
