No one knows exactly what happened to Miss Jenkins. She was dropped off at the animal shelter with a dangling foot. Otherwise, she was perfectly healthy and sweet natured so of course we rescued her.
After consulting with our veterinarian, it was decided that her leg needed to be removed. The injury was old and irreparable. A few days after the amputation it became apparent that she needed additional treatment for nerve pain. Within days she felt better and is quickly learning how to get around on 3 legs. She doesn’t seem to mind when she slides around a corner on her knees without the traction of two back feet while playing. She is able to jump up on her toys and can jump down onto the floor with ease.
Miss Jenkins has a sweet personality and has no idea she is different. She has adjusted well to life on 3 legs and loves to sit next to her foster mom to be petted and groomed. Miss J is NOT a special needs kitty and will make a wonderful companion with no apologies.
Injured cats are frequently euthanized at city shelters due to a lack of funds for veterinary care and limited space. With your generous support, NBCR is able to provide veterinary care and a loving foster home for adoptable cats like Miss Jenkins to heal.
From all of us at NBCR, we sincerely thank you for allowing us to save them.
