Lady: Dog bite Fracture/ dislocation
Tax deductible
Lady was a cat that was attacked by a dog and placed on the urgent list at Animal Control before being transferred to the Cat Shack on 9/7/2015.
Lady has now been assessed by Perkiomen Animal Hospital and Metropolitan vet hospital. In addition to her many puncture wounds and nerve damage, it has been determined that she needs URGENT surgery to correct a dislocation and growth plate fracture of her right front leg before it heals in place.
This is not inexpensive surgery, however it will provide the Lady the opportunity to have a normal, working and pain-free leg.
Lady was pulled from the euthanasia list to honor the memory of another former Cat Shack cat, Viola, who was also rescued after a dog attack. Viola recovered from her severe wounds and went on to be adopted, but sadly developed metastatic cancer and died far too young. Please help us to honor Viola's memory and help another young, beautiful cat recover from her terrible wounds.
History: Lady was released to Animal Control on 8/31 as a stray after reportedly being attacked by a dog. She was treated for her puncture wounds, skinned tail, bitten head and made comfortable by the wonderful staff and volunteers at ACCT, but treating her dislocated/fractures front leg was outside the scope of what this high-intake shelter could offer.
On 9/7/2015 Lady was placed on the urgent list and transferred to the Cat Shack.
Lady has been assessed at Perkiomen Animal hospital and Metropolitan vet hospital and needs urgent surgery to correct her leg.
Both vet practices generously offer discounts to rescue organizations, but even with this discount the surgery cost will be in the $3000 range. She's in excellent hands, but this surgery expense is difficult for any rescue to manage. Please help and Share Lady's story so that we can get the care that she needs.
Thank you!
