Donations Needed: Little Homeless Kitty's Leg Severed by Dog

Saving Tiger Lily

One morning, my husband Stew heard what first sounded like a cat
screeching from an altercation with another cat. Then the screeching
became so unusually loud and intense that he ran outdoors to
investigate. He saw three dogs chomping down on a four-pound feral cat
who was airborne, fighting for her life. Stew immediately jumped over
the four-foot fence and pounced on the dogs to force them to let go of
the kitty. Soon after, I ran out to find the terrified little one
hiding under a dilapidated motorcycle. It did not take long for me to
grab protective gloves and a small recovery cage for an immediate trip
to the animal hospital. I thank God that the hospital could take her
right away.
Her back left femur was fractured and completely severed.
Remarkably, that was her only major injury. The animal hospital assured
us that, once her leg heals fully from the surgery, she will be able to
jump, climb and otherwise live a normal life. Even if she never wants
to climb a tree again, it is comforting to know she will not be
crippled for life.
Before the dog attack, Tiger Lily was feral, never allowing us
touch her nor come anywhere close to her. Now, as she recovers in room
in our home, she is accepting love, food and medicine. She purrs as
each of us holds her for long periods. I imagine she is warming up to
us because she understands on some level that we are helping her with
her broken leg. Speaking of which, some of her lacerations healed well
after only a week. Thanks to my husband's bravery and love for animals,
she has a safe indoor life ahead of her.



With x-rays, meds, special food, surgery and follow-up visits, the
bill totaled $1,190. I charged it with the Vet hospital. My husband is
out of work. I support the two of us. I need help paying off Tiger
Lily's bill.
