Misty was attacked by a dog and is now having to have her rear left leg removed.

Wellington

Misty is a playful, energetic, friendly kitty.

Shes currently only just 1 year old and has 3, 7&1/2 week old kittens at home who are all missing her dearly.

Over the weekend of the 5-8th Feb Misty had a fight with a big(ish) dog and had her leg fractured in more than 3 places and the skin and fur around her leg ripped. Shes currently awaiting surgery to have the leg removed (that procedure will be going ahead today 11/02/16). It was a difficult decision to remove her leg but with Misty being such an energetic young cat I don't feel she will be happier with surgery's for plates and screws and constant bandage changes and having to stay off a sore leg for 8-10 weeks and may never be able to flex/bend that leg properly again, I feel she will benefit further from having the leg removed and potentially be back up and running around in 3 weeks. It was a very difficult decision, however, to remove the leg.

The surgery to remove the leg is approx going to be $1000, Plus a bit more for all the follow ups and rehabilitation to get her running around like herself again.

I can not wait for misty to come home and begin recovering back to her happy playful energetic self.

As an animal lover this breaks my heart. I know it's not much but every little bit counts. Best of luck.
