Hello!
I came home today to find my cat limping and with a swollen leg. Let me share a little bit of details. (excuse my English)
He is a rescue. I found him on the streets about 3 months ago so I took him in. I have no previews health history about him. I do not have the money to take him to a vet since I'm a student working part time at a clothing store. Given the facts that he is all black and an adult he is less likely to be adopted so my last option would be take him to a shelter.
So I live in the northeast so I was affected by the blizzard. I spent the storm at a friends house since I didn't have a generator in case I lost power. I left him enough food and water for the day and a half I was gone. I came back home today to find my cat limping. He refuses to put littler to any weight on his front, left leg which is a sign that he is in pain. His leg is pretty swollen and there's a bump on the back of his leg where most of the swelling is coming from. He was not let outside so if he had an accident it happened inside my apartment. other than the swelling and limping he's acting quite normal. He lets me touch his leg. He's not crying or anything out of the ordinary. I'm not sure what to do in this situation. I want what's best for my Kitty.
Any thoughts, tips or recommendations appreciated!
