hello and welcome to the site!
we fostered a kitten who was missing a back leg and had a messed up front leg, she still did steps and the litterbox just fine. all our other kitties who are missing limbs are missing hind limbs. we did also foster a kitten who had a stump for a front leg and he seemd to do fine, too. never heard any complaints about him after he went to his new home.

i have heard that sometimes they still make digging motions with the missing leg, you can see their shoulder working. so it might take her awhile to figure that out. on the other paw, there are kitties here with all four legs who still haven't figured out how to cover their mess!

Tripod does that big time.

I consider tripods to be disfigured, not disabled; they can do everything anybody else can do--they're just noisy when they run. LOL
