I have four kitties...Nikkie-3 yrs old, Shadow-1 yr old, Pumpkin-1 yr old, and Lucky-8 wks old. Just two days ago, my Pumpkin became an amputee.

I suppose how you feel, but don't worry, they are very strong and brave, and Pumpkin will be fine

I have four kitties...Nikkie-3 yrs old, Shadow-1 yr old, Pumpkin-1 yr old, and Lucky-8 wks old. Just two days ago, my Pumpkin became an amputee. She is barely 1 year old and have battled a broken leg that required surgery to put a metal pin in for 6 weeks and just two days ago, her leg had gangrene set in because the nerves never regenerated and she rubbed a sore on her foot (back left). She is doing great and hasn't had to have any pain meds and yesterday she wandered into the living room with the rest of the cats....she had been hiding in my daughter's closet all this time. I love all my kitties the same and am new to this amputee parent thing and would like to hear from others who have inspiring stories to share. Pumpkin is now my hero and my inspiration. She is showing me that no matter how bad things can get, you can always overcome them. She's the most beautiful calico I have ever seen and everyone who has meet her has fallen in love with her personality.

I've hear storier of amputee cats. They can live like true cats. There's nothing wrong with them. I know even of cats with only two legs that move and live happy.

My she-cat have lost one eye and she is happy and plays a lot.

Oh my, I am very sorry to hear about this. I would recommend contacting the local Humane Society near her residence in Houston, they may be able to pick her cats up and ship them to you, especially if you offer to pay them well for it. Cat breeders commonly ship cats all over the country so I know it can be done. You may also want to contact animal rescue organizations in Houston, I'm sure one of them could help and would know what to do. You'll be in my prayers, Lance
