Injured Stray Tripawd Kitten Gets Help Just in Time
On a snowy Thursday morning after I’d gotten a tooth pulled I saw this stray kitten get hit by a car on a busy street. I snatched him up and rushed him to the nearest vet. Maybe I was naive in thinking this, but I didn’t expect to be responsible for his entire vet bill after the vet suggested amputation of his broken leg.
I had expected on the way to the vet that I might pay for a cast or something. This left me with a sudden, enormous debt. By the time I was handed the bill, I was too scared to walk away because I didn’t want the kitten to be put down if I left. Again I’m not sure if that would have happened, but I was too nervous to ask. I wanted to do the right thing for the kitty, but this has put me in a tough situation. Any money towards the credit card I paid would help me and my family recover.
The kitten is currently in my care as he recovers from surgery. His next vet visit will be next week to get his sutures removed. I expect to also pay for this visit out of pocket.
