Fluffy

A cat that we have had at the shelter for about one month has been adopted.  She came in with a broken leg, but it was an old injury, so she had learned to walk on it.  When the MSU-CVM students came for our regularly scheduled Spay/Neuter day we asked them to take a look at it and see what we could do about it.  After they examined her, they told us that they could amputate it; we agreed.  After the surgery they told us that she had no more muscle left in that leg and that she was essentially walking on the bone, so we did the right thing.  After a few days of her learning to walk on just one leg on her front end, it was like she'd been doing it all along.  After another week a lady came in to our shelter and wanted to adopt her!  She took her home and we have been hearing nothing but good things ever since.
