I'm glad the humane society step in to help these cats.

" Wilma is an 8 week old domestic short hair kitten. Wilma and her brother Scott and sister
Judy (pictured above) were at a municipal pound about to be put to sleep. The way it works at this particular
pound is that the cats and dogs are staged in cages outside a medical examining room. Cage by cage someone comes
out to get the animals to euthanize them. The employees know that the animals in these cages are in the last hour
of their lives and try to avoid the area, or if they have to walk by, look the other way.
It's their way of coping with the situation.
Volunteers from the Humane Society of Plainfield were at the pound to pick up a truckload of animals.
The truck was full, we were ready to leave, but had to walk past the area with the soon to be
killed animals in the corridor. As we walked by there was a great deal of noise coming from a cage,
which momentarily made us forget to "not look". So we looked and there where these 3 beautiful kittens
happily playing in the cage. We asked why they were being put down, and apparently one of them had a bad leg.
We didn't care about the leg, thinking "how bad could it be?" We had no room in the truck, so we put
the kittens in an empty box and brought them back to Plainfield.
After arriving back in Plainfield we had Wilma's bad leg examined and indeed it was a problem.
It was deformed and not really usable. Wilma and her problem leg are pictured above.
Despite her problems Wilma is a wonderful kitten, playful, loving and happy.
After reviewing the xray images taken of the leg, the doctors at the Animal Care Center decided that
amputating the deformed limb would be the best option for Wilma. If we were to not remove the leg,
it would over time develop scrapes and sores from being dragged and could cause serious health problems.
We expect a rapid recovery once the procedure is performed. Wilma is young, will adapt quickly
to using three legs, and most likely will be able to run and play like her brother and sister in no time.
Could you help us to help little Wilma, and so many others like her, by making a contribution towards her surgery? "

 

Awww poor baby...thank God for good samaritans....

Funny note: I just moved to Philadelphia from Plainfield in January...what a coincidence!

 

Poor kitten, I hope she gets her operation...
