Person in rural Africa saves teeny tiny kittens, one of the cute criminals doesn't grow at all leaving rescuer worried and in search of answers: 'Could it be dwarfism?'

Hey friends! We are forever grateful for the kindhearted humans around the world who go out of their way to help cats in need. It's easy to see a suffering cat or kitten and continue on with your day, but it takes true compassion, courage, and strength to step in and make a difference. Rescuing and nursing cats back to health can also be financially demanding, but with support from friends, family, and fellow animal lovers, the effort is always worth it.

After spending some time caring for the rescued kittens, the original poster (or OP) noticed that while most of them were growing and developing as expected, one tiny kitten remained extra small. Concerned about the little one's lack of growth, OP wanted to get expert advice—but with limited access to specialized veterinary care in the area, she turned to the internet for guidance.
