@flatbushcats: When we first met Penny, she couldn't use her left front leg. X-rays showed no broken bones, but our veterinary team suspected nerve damage. Over the following weeks, the leg grew weaker, and it became clear that it wasn't going to recover. Once Penny was big enough, our veterinarians performed an amputation. And judging by her running, climbing, and playing these days, she's getting along just fine on three legs. Penny received that surgery through our rescue program, but many pets in our community need procedures like hers, too. That's why we're expanding what we can offer at Flatbush Vet, so more pets can get the treatment they need. Thank you for helping make care like Penny's possible. ❤️

If anything, moving around will be easier for her now. She's not dragging any dead weight.

my parents found a cat we believe someone tried to throw it over the bridge into a river. She needed her leg amputated. My parents ended up adopting her once she was cleared and named her Bridgette.
