Kitten losing leg today/MTL

A lady called about her 5 month old kitten. It was out roaming and made a bad jump (as kittens will!) and got her hind leg hung up on a fence.

The leg is so badly shattered that the orthopedic surgery would have cost 1400$, which this lady could not afford. She was offered the option of amputation for 300$, but decided a 3 legged cat wasn't for her. She wanted the kitten killed, but was talked into surrendering it instead.

We are having the leg amputated today, and then this baby will need foster/adoption. Cats do EXTREMELY well with 3 legs, and it probably will be barely noticeable and sure won't slow her down!

IF anyone is interested, or can help with vet bills, please call Debbie at (450) 424-0455

I'll have a pic of this baby tomorrow when I go see her.
