Anyone want a three-legged cat?

Surgery was today and went fairly well. Tail came off as expected, leg had been a question mark but in the end they decided it was best to amputate it so they did. After work I stopped by the clinic where they operated, but I guess I misunderstood the doc on the phone because the kitten had already been moved back to the original clinic. I had to meet up with our realtor to see a house and there wasn't time to get back over to the right clinic first, so I never got to check in on her today. But you can bet I'll be there bright and early in the morning!

Out of my four adopted cats, one of them was a rescue like that.
She didn't get injured, but was the size of a chipmunk when I almost run her over. I went back for her and it took a long time to get her out of the bush she was hiding in. She kicked and scratched, bit and scream at me, but I got her safely to the vet. I wasn't planning on keeping her, but there were no takers and my heart just broke when I saw the alternative - shelter.
She's been with me for three years now. She's been the most gracious of my pack. Although shy to the bone, she brings the kind of love that says "thank you" every time she sits on my lap.
Thank you for your good heart, Dave. Thank you for rescuing this kitten. If it happens that you end up keeping her, I am sure she'll give you back all the love and even more.
