Bibi's Emergency Surgery

On Friday, February 9th, Bibi, a 2 month old kitten, was surrendered to an Augusta animal shelter. Bibi was severely underweight, covered in what appeared to be motor oil, and had open wounds on her back feet; most concerningly, her front left leg appeared to be broken and she could not straighten it. We will never know for sure, but like many kittens in winter, Bibi may have been sheltering in a car engine for warmth when the car was suddenly turned on and began to move. Either way, the shelter put out an urgent call for a rescue to take on her case, and a Kitty Konnection foster picked her up that day.

After several vet visits, and a trip to an orthopedic specialist, it was discovered that Bibi's front left leg was severely dislocated. Due to her young age, scar tissue had quickly formed around the site, making a surgical fix her only option. Due to Bibi's age and the fact that she is still growing, a simpler bone fusion procedure was not an option. The cost is estimated at $3,000. Without swift surgical intervention, Bibi will likely lose her leg. Surgery is scheduled for March 4th. If you can help Bibi reach her goal, please donate here. Despite all that she has been through, Bibi remains the sweetest, gentlest kitten, who instantly befriends everyone she meets. Bibi has a long journey ahead, but with help, she will be able to live a full and wonderful life.
