5 days before christmas i went outside to see if i would have school... low and behold i saw a cat out on my steps meowing holding out its paw... i ran inside as fast as i could yelling "MOM!!! MOMM!!!!!! theres a kitty outside holding out its paw!!!" she said let me see, so we walked outside in the 20 degree temp and she started cring and she said "poor kitties paw is broken"... so i stayed home from school watching the kitty not being able to do anything until my dad came home... when he finally came home it was 6:00p.m. and i couldnt see the kitty.... i looked around for about an hour and finally found it on my neighbors porch meowing. I picked her up as careful as i could and carried her home. for the first night we kept her on the porch with plenty of water and catfood (because my mom wanted to make sure she didnt have fleas) to the next night she came in and we bathed her and fed her and that night she slept in my bed... the next morning i woke up and i had to go to school s and this school day seemed to drag-on FOREVER!!! i wanted to get home and pet my nameless cat, and to pass time i tried to think of a name for her.... 5 days before christmas... what do people hang up??? Holly... that was it! after school i rushed home and started calling the cat Holly... about a week passed and we had to get her registered and what not and the vet said "did you know her paw was broken??" and we said we know and could he fix it. he said "no... its too damaged, only choice is to amputate it..." so 3 days later we had a kitty with 3 legs, we fixed her too because how she was thrown out of the car (yes, she was thrown out of a car) it turned her uterus so it would kill her kittens and her... now she is a healthy happy cat that sleeps in the sun with my other cat, Spot, and they absolutly love each other, they cuddle, spar, and clean each other, just like two loving cats. that was 3 years ago shes still healthy but dying... just like any other living thing on earth... knowing i saved this poor cat from the roughness of outside, i know i did somthing good.
Well i home you enjoyed reading this story ^_^ i know i had a crying fest typing it :-)

  | Posted Apr 19th, 2008 at 1:13PM, last updated Apr 19th, 2008 at 1:14PM 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. +4 nods   |
 | Posted Apr 19th, 2008 at 5:34PM I cried right along with u. I belive that God sends the animals to the ones that will help and love them because its awful to think of the alternative with all the cruel people out there. My hearts desire is to own enough land to have a animal sanctuary, one has to look no farther to find unconditional LOVE! +3 nods |

 | Posted Feb 28th, 2009 at 7:07AM i have a 3 legged cat called Toby. We got him when he was born and when he was 2 he had an accident with a car, we took him straight to the vets but they couldnt fix it, we had the choice of whther to have his leg amputated or have my beautiful cat put down, he iss such a sweetie i couldnt live without him!!! He is now nearly 11 and still going strong, and he is such a nice cat, wouldnt hurt a fly, so glad we didnt puthim down!!!!!!! +3 nods |
 | Posted Mar 4th, 2009 at 7:20PM 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. |
 | Posted Jun 15th, 2009 at 12:35AM Your stories great for sure-wish there were more people in the world like you. I love cats too and your story. +2 nods |
 | Posted Jul 4th, 2009 at 5:55AM 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 |
 | Posted Jul 27th, 2009 at 11:30PM awwww what a sweet/ sad story (i cried!)... i am so thankful that there are people like you and your family that will rescue little animals like your Holly. I relle dont understand how somebody could throw a living thing out of a car!!! why cant they just drop it off at a shelter or vets office =/... anyways thanks for sharing a lovely story =) |
| Posted Aug 1st, 2009 at 1:20PM 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. |
 | Posted Sep 1st, 2009 at 11:15PM i am so happy you helped this poor kitty.i cried my eyes out how can anyone do such a terrible thing?i would of done the something you did.should be more people like you in the world. |
