You're looking at Tater Tot, a tiny kitten with special needs that has captured the internet's heart. 

🀯 The origin story: Tater Tot's foster mom, Ash Houghton, shared that it felt like fate when the tiny kitten was brought home by a neighborhood dog at only two days old. "Almost as if to say, β€˜Mom, this one needs help.’"

  • All four of Tater Tot's legs were malformed at birth, so he was quickly put into stints to prevent surgery. The kitten also has a cleft palate and will eventually need reconstruction surgery. 

πŸ† Go, little rock star... When Ash started posting about Tater Tot's journey to health, she was surprised to find his fan base growing – and quickly.  

  • Tater Tot's online fan groups have close to 200,000 followers and counting. His videos have millions of views 🀯.
  • "I think people love an underdog," said Ash of Tater Tot's rise to internet fame. "[A]nd this spud has a lot of things working against him, but his zest and fight for life is super inspiring. I know he's inspired me!"
