I came down into the courtyard of my apartment complex yesterday and saw a little kitten just sitting there, mewing. It was dirty, covered with a bit of paint, had gum stuck in its fur and Its front right leg was bent in quite the unnatural way too. I felt really bad for it so I took it up to my apartment and washed it, fed it, and gave it a place to sleep. It limped around as it walked so I decided today to take it to the vet and have a look. After an x-ray it turns out that its bone was snapped completely and the doc said it looks like someone stepped on its leg to have broken the way it did. The doctor said the bone could be healed but it would be major surgery and cost a bit. I decided to drop down the money for the poor kitten and it should be in surgery now. After work I'll go see if the operation went well. The doctor said if the operation was successful the cut would take a week to heal and the bone about a month.
I'll post pictures later after I get the kitten back.

Poor kitty :(

UPDATE!: It seems that the surgery went well! I'll have to take her back every day for 3 days to change her bandages and get some medicine for her. Here's some pics of the kitten :)

This is her when I brought her up yesterday after washing her. You can see her leg is a little..uh..wonky...but she's very cute







My other cat seemed none too happy though







This is the kitten about 30 minutes ago. We just got home. He has a cone on because she kept taking off her bandage and messing with her stitches so this prevents her from getting at them. She hates the cone. Poor kitty :(





Finally asleep :)



I hope she gets better soon. She is still in some pain I think.

Also Calleja , thanks for the gesture but its ok. I don't mind spending money to help this little kitty. She deserves a chance to live too :). The doctor thinks she's a month or less old.

Aw, that's awesome of you, dude. If you had to pay a lot maybe you could set up a paypal donation thing and we could chip in a bit?

Good on you for rescuing that kitty, Terrik. So...when are we gonna get pics?

Edit: Really, it took five replies before someone asked for kitty pics? You guys are slipping.

Do you think your cat will have trouble getting used to the kitten?

Dude, Terrik, you are the man! To heck with a beer: I shall purchase you a bottle of your most favored of harder adult libations, should we meet in person. Awesome.

It's stuff like this that re-affirms my faith in humanity.

Absolutely adorable terrik. I'm sure the two cats will at least tolerate each other if not become fast friends. It usually takes a week or so for cats to really get used to new cats.

I hope I can take you guys up on those drink offers one day :D

The kitten seems to be doing better. I found out that I need to bring her back every day until sunday for shots to protect against infection from the surgery. 7-10 days later I take her back again to see if the stitches can come out. After that, I need to massage her leg for 1-2/hours a day (perhaps for a month)to help rejuvenate he muscles which were severely damaged because the bone had been broken for quite some time. I'm feeding her cat food that's been soaked in water to make it very soft and she's starting to try and use her leg a little bit again. Thankfully the cone could come off because she stopped trying to take her bandages off :)

Also, I didnt name her, so any more suggestions would be great ;)

Here's a couple pics of her. She's a curious little kitten.

The pics and the names for them say it all: "Halfara" or "Halfy" :D

Joy to the kitteh! I am soooooo happy that you loved her enough to show her such kindness and go through all that trouble and money spent. Many blessings upon you!
