Hi all, this is Fudge, she is 6 years old, I got her from a rescue centre almost 4 years ago, she had been in a house with 30 other cats and they were all taken off the owner. I went to the rescue centre looking for a cat and even though they were all gorgeous none really took my heart, Fudge was about to go upto the "cat house" where the cats that are unlikely to be re-homed go to live. As soon as I spotted her I knew I wanted her, she was so nervous she curled up in a ball when I looked at her. I immediately thought I have to have her, when we took her home she lived under my kitchen cupboards for 2 weeks and we never saw her, she got better and better with us until she was living like a normal cat and was just nervous of strangers. Then one day she came in and she was holding her right front paw in the air and I knew straight away something was wrong I immediately took her to the vets and was told it was broken and a very bad break, she was in plaster for 10 weeks and it wasn't healing at all, you can imagine how much distress she went through and after all the time it took her to be a bit more confident. The decision was eventually made to amputate and although I felt awful I knew it was for the best as she was constantly living on pain killers. She has coped so well and you would never know she has 3 legs with what she does, the only problem is she is extremely nervous again and lives upstairs, she only comes down for food and to go out, poor girl but she is my baby and we have hugs at night when I go to bed, she just doesn't like to be handled-only on her terms and I am unsure whether she will get any better I just love her so much though and glad I am her mummy.x
