I won't post the gross picts of her hanging leg or the toes that fell off, unless you *really* want to see them.

Here she is standing up, you can see how her rihgt front leg is messed up from the fracture healing itself




and here she is lying on her side. You can see the mangled hind foot.


and here she is in her cage that a wonderful person funded for us

Valentine had her surgery late thursday afternoon, she came back home on Friday morning.
She was in surgery for an hour and a half. the entire hind leg had to be removed. There is nothing to be done about her front leg, the break is calcified over and to rebreak it would be a huge ordeal. So it stays. At least she can walk on it and uses it as normally as possible.

Her incision looks great and she is wanting to run all over. My credit card looks sad.

She is up for adoption, as I already have a lot kitties and she won't need special care in the future, just someone who doens't mind a very odd looking cat.

Happy to hear the surgery went well. She is so cute, and sounds like such a sweetheart that I'm sure you'll find a home for her. Why did it take so long for the people who found her to get her to you?

I really hope she recuperates well and finds a very loving home. Poor little thing - thank God there are people like you who are willing to help!
