Hum Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 EIGHTY-FOUR, PA - Cats may have nine lives, but one unique feline has five legs ? for now. The cat, named Babygirl, will undergo surgery to remove the extra leg and another crippled leg, though the operation has not yet been scheduled. The surgery is expected to leave the cat with three legs, and improve her quality of life, according to the Washington Area Humane Society, where the cat will live until a home can be found for her. Chrystin Rice, a kennel associate, said a woman brought Babygirl to the shelter on Jan. 19. The woman had first seen the stray animal as a kitten about a year ago in Canonsburg, south of Pittsburgh. Babygirl appears to be in good health, Rice said Saturday. "It's actually a really, really nice cat," she said. Rice said some people have expressed an interest in the cat, but no one has applied to adopt her. "We've had a few calls come in, but everyone's just kind of asking how's she doing, when's the surgery," Rice said. A doctor at Metropolitan Veterinary Center in Robinson Township has agreed to operate on the cat. A date for the surgery will be scheduled soon. The shelter is still in need of someone to adopt the cat after surgery.

Hum Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 I can see why few people would be interested in adopting this cat. With 3 legs, it's going to have problems getting around, and may have some high vet bills in the future. I hope it finds a good home tho. :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/616507-5-legged-cat-gets-surgery/#findComment-589170379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
