Hi there
We are desperately searching for a home or foster placement for a young (no older than 2 years at a guess) female tabby cat. She was hit by a car 3 weeks ago, so she's had to have her hind leg amputated. We suspect she's been living on her own for a while because she's very very scared of everything. She needs somewhere quiet where she can come out of her shell in her own time. Although she hisses and spits when anyone enters her kennel, she's starting to calm down with the nurses who spend a lot of time with her and she now lets them fuss her for a short while. She's been in our hospital for 3 weeks, meanwhile we've been relentlessly ringing rescue centres and advertising her incase one of our clients could offer her the home she needs, but with no where to transfer her to, we're running out of options. The lovely staff at Coventry Cat Rescue have given us as many leads as possible, including this website, but sadly if we can't find somewhere for her to go soon, she will have to be put to sleep. Our hospital is very busy with barking dogs etc which is not helping her anxiety, and it seems such a tragedy for her to be put to sleep after she's come through her operation so well and adapted to 3 legged life so quickly.
If anyone knows of anywhere, or anyone, that can help please get in touch, we're really desperate. Thank you
