Special Animals Can Cost an Arm and a Leg



For inquiries about adopting Babygirl,
please ask to speak to Linda Hughes at 724-222-738


You will be hard-pressed to find a more amiable cat than “Babygirl” as she is now known. She relaxes in the arms of volunteers who marvel at her unusual physique. In her new digs, Babygirl has more than a “leg to stand on.” She actually has five legs to stand on, but not quite as efficiently as her four-legged roommates. Nonetheless she does get around and has no idea there is anything out of the ordinary about her … except that she has no family to care for her.
Baby Girl had her surgery on February 7th. Her overall health is good. When performing the surgery, the vet found that she also had a large hernia, only one kidney, both ovaries, but only one uterine horn. Both legs were amputated with no problems; the hernia was removed and she was spayed. We are hoping to have her back at the shelter in a day or two, Her prognosis is very good, and it is assumed that she will have a full recovery. She should be available for adoption in approximately three weeks.



We would like ot thank everyone who has contributed on behalf of Babygirl and especially to 9 Lives who pledged to cover all her medical bills.
*All donations in excess of what was necessary to treat Babygirl will be used for our other deserving shelter cats and dogs.
