House cat Canelo arrived at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab at six weeks old with a neurological condition that left her only able to move her front legs.
While receiving laser treatment, Canelo was left to recuperate in the company of the rabbits.
The shelter shared photos of the cats resting with the various rabbits and hopping around on their working legs, in a similar way to rabbits.
Canelo is now believed to be about five months old and at the shelter he is said to be getting stronger every day, to the point where he now spends time with the other cats.
