Three-legged cats are a joy to be around. The worst part about having to care for these felines is choosing the right name. Three-legged cat names aren’t easy to come up with but some of these will give you a kick!
Perhaps you’ve decided to welcome a feline who’s missing a leg into your home. Maybe she has a fascinating story about how she ended up on her three paws. Or you never actually knew the real truth about what happened before you adopted her.
Your cats are certainly heroes to you and you probably want to honor their courage by giving them a unique name.
There’s no time to lament about the loss of a body part. It might not be easy, but cats are intelligent creatures who easily find their way around new situations and challenges. Therefore, I’m sure your cat will get the hang of it pretty quickly and learn to live her life to the fullest!
As proof, here are some three-legged cat names that can brighten up your day.
What to name your three-legged cat?
Deciding on a name for your new three-legged family member might be a major brain-racker. Sure, you could always play it on the safe side and give your pet a name based on one of her most distinctive physical traits.
But we’re going to list a few names for your three-legged buddy that emphasize the loss of your pet’s leg as something brave and unique.
Additionally, some individuals want to match the names of their furry babies to their personalities. If you have a little rascal who doesn’t act at all like she’s missing a limb, the sky is the limit when it comes to name options and you can maybe end up choosing one of these mischievous cat names.
If you were looking for something simple and uninteresting, I’m sure you wouldn’t be reading this. After all, it’s the name by which your pet will be recognized for the rest of her life. And in case you were wondering, cats can live up to 20 years – a long time to be stuck with one name!
For this reason, we have compiled a list of 170+ three-legged cat names for both male and female feline companions. Of course, some names are unisex, but most cat parents choose ones that are obvious about the gender of their cat.

Losing a limb isn’t something to be ashamed of. Instead, it’s something worth honoring and celebrating because there’s certainly a background story that led to it. What better way to celebrate victory over such a battle?
