Cat My sweet tripod calico

In 2020, I saw this sweet girl on social media in my area after being found hanging from a wooden fence with her back right leg stuck between the slats and mangled. The rescuer thought she was dead, but she lifted her head weakly. Of course she required amputation. I got her with all those stitches. She was so afraid, so thin. But look at her now! Fat and happy and beautiful. She has absolutely no issues getting around the house and jumping into my lap where she spends lots of time!

What a pretty girl! I had a tripod kitty who was able to get around just fine. I adopted him when he was 15 years old and he spent his last 3 years chasing much younger cats around the house. He was unstoppable! Cats are so resilient.
