3 legged kitten :)?

We have a cat that lives at the vet hospital where I work. She was injured in New Orleans during Katrina when she was just a kitten. One of our doctors was there helping out when he heard of her plight. He brought her back to our clinic and her left rear leg had to be amputated. Let me tell you, she was up and running in a couple of days and hasn't slowed down since! She keeps all of the other animals in line! So, in answer to your question, take her to your vet and let him take a look. If he decides that is the route to go, ask him for an estimate for the surgery. Most vets will/should work out a payment plan for you. If he doesn't, call around and explain your situation. Tell them that this is a rescue cat from the shelter. If you hadn't adopted her, who knows what would have happened! God bless you for caring! And by the way, our cat's name is...Katrina! Of course!
