My Poor 3 Legged Cat

I am glad you helped this poor cat.

Its always important to get an injured animal to a veterinary as soon as possible, or if they are injured, better to get the vet to come to them. There is no time to lose.

I had a 3 legged cat as a pet for well over 10 years.
I miss that cat..:(

It's a lovely story, no doubt about that, but if you knew her paw was broken, why didn't you take her to the vet right away? That part just sort of confused me, I mean wouldn't she have been in a great amount of pain? Anyway, it's good she's all right now and friends with your other cat. lol I have a cat named Molly, haha.

I have an almost fully white cat named Hógolyó (it means Snowball ^^), we found him 3 years ago when he was very little, meowing in our gardens very end. Someone throwed him into. He was very dirty and thirsty, and we also thought that his paw is broken, but luckily no. We just grabbed him and get some water and milk for him. He liked it, but he was still meowing. I was fondling him for a while and then we put him into the cabin to rest, where we keep the wood and also this is the temporary cat house.
He was still meowing almost all afternoon, but next day we let him to walk in the garden to know his home.
Now i have 2 cats, he and Tigris (Tiger), but Hógolyó is even a big cat now, he is very lazy and very happy.
Its funny if i say "Hógi" to him, he say meow every single time :3 :D

It is good you took her in, but an injured animal should never be left out in the cold if you can do something about it and should be taken as soon as possible to a vet. Her leg may have been saved and she must have been in a lot of pain.

A stray had kittens at my home 3 weeks ago. She didn't remove the umbilical cord and it became wrapped around a baby's foot for 3 days before I discovered it. I cut off the cord but it was too late...no circulation and the foot died. However, it seems the mom has removed the dead foot. The kitten is eating well and gaining weight. I guess it will learn to adapt with 3 feet. Any comments?

I have a friend with a 3 legged cat. Cept this one is missing it's back left leg, and really struggles to get around with that leg inoperable.

Aww that's such a cute story (: Thanks for sharing (:

I took my brother's daughter's three-legged female cat in rather than him abandon cat to his ex-wife. I had to separate her from my two tomcats but she did fine because my Alpha male was not receptive. I had Peaches for her last three years & she passed at age 15 - not bad for a feline leukemia-positive three-legged cat.
My wife & I still have the younger of the two males, now 15 and insulin-dependent diabetic. I found him at about 5-weeks-old in roadside bushes when I was stationed in Okinawa. I brought him home along with my other three cats. He's one of the most affectionate cats, especially male, that I have ever known in 31 years and numerous cats in that time.

How terrible! I didnt cry along with you as I am toughened from all of the stries of rescued animals Ive heard and even seen the results of. My grandmother and grandfather adopt countless strays and injured animals, including coyotes, owls, turtles, and foxes. They live out in the country and injured animals are left on the country roadsides and literally come right up to our house, the closest thing to the road. Also my dad and his fiance are a part of labs4rescue. I think it was a wonderful oppurtunity to rescue this cat!

That was very big hearted of you. Wonderful story.

We had a 3-legged cat as well. We lived on an Air Force base and our neighbor shot our cat with an arrow. The arrow barely missed her heart/lungs and caused her to lose the entire leg, all the way to the "shoulder" area. Thankfully there was an eyewitness, but investigators for the AF turned up nothing. My husband was persistent and we even posted a lighted sign outside our home that read "GOD SEES ALL." We faced it towards his house so that he had to look at it every day when he came and left the home. It took a long time, but eventually the pressure got to him and he turned himself in to his AF commander. We had to promise no "outside" authorities would be contacted and he had to pay the vet bills (over 1500). My Kieta lived a decent life and got along well. I hate what he did to my cat, but deep down I know that what goes around comes around and someday he will get his.

What a nice, though sad, story... you are really a great person! I just wonder HOW people like those who made your cat suffer can be so cruel... :((

Ahhhh,that's lovely of you all. I good deed. I took in an abandoned adult cat that lived under a house of a friend. She could'nt take it in as she already had a cat. It was black,which turned out to be dirt. After bathing her,she was completly white with none of the problems associated with a white cat,namely deafness(sometimes a fault in the genes of white cats). She made herself at home. I'd had cats before,once again,given me by a neighbor who moved. Both of them lived to a ripe old age but got cancer and had to be put down by the vet. I vowed I'd never get another until ''Snowy''(the name I gave her)turned up. She saw me through MY cancer(now recovered). One morning,at the foot of my bed,where she slept,she did'nt move. She'd gone. She'd been with me for 4 years. Once again,I said that's it,no more cats. That was until my neighbor's cat gave birth to 3 kittens. I had 2 of them. Brother and Sister,now 18months old. They look like the ''Felix'' cat on the brand of cat food,so he's Felix and she's Flo. He's the boss though.

My dog had to get his leg amputated after he was kicked by one of my old horses (who I no longer have).
He gets a long just fine. Like, perfectly fine. He can run, he can jump, he can shake hands/paws with you...
Animals with three legs aren't at as much of a disadvantage as people think they are.
