We picked up an injured 8 week old kitten on West Rocks today, a stray, he had gotten caught in an iron fence for three days. His leg became badly broken, probably from his struggle to get free. The family that found him got him initial vet care, but his leg was so swollen they said they couldn't tell what had happened until it went down a bit. Thank God they gave him antibiotics. But by last night the kitten seemed to be going downhill. The woman got in touch with us and we ran over and took him straight to our vet. The leg was badly infected and becoming septic. It had to come off immediately. So, they performed the surgery this afternoon and the little guy is doing well tonight. He lost his back left leg all the way to his hip. But he is obviously a tough little fighter and it appears he will pull through! My guess is he'll be up and running around in no time!
We are hoping to raise some funds for his emergency surgery. If any of our caring readers could spare a few dollars it will go directly to his care. Please, visit our website: http://www.animals-in-distress.com/index.html

We have named the little guy "Tres"! My guess is he'll never even realize he only has three legs! He's quite remarkable. Tres will spend some time in foster care as he recovers before becoming ready for adoption.
