Hopefully this is in the right place ...
Today, I was in the car with my mom, and we were driving through our old neighborhood. As we were driving, my mom saw a cat and though it looked hurt, so she turned the car around. I saw it first; it was horrible.
The poor things leg was a mess; it seemed as if the skin and fur had come right off the side of it's leg. The worst part was that it was dangling from it. It was terrible and sad and ... I don't think there's a word to Describe it. We both got out of the van and went to get the poor thing ... and then it ran under the car.
It took us awhile, but with the help of these two girls who came out, we managed to get a hold of him. They lent us an old towel to use, and we put him in a box we found in the car and drove to the veterinarian hospital near by.
They took him to check him and weigh him and stuff and we waited.
And then the vet came to talk to us.
It didn't turn out so well.
Apparently, it lost a lot of blood, and when they took it's temperature, they didn't get anything(Or something like that. I can't really remember).
He was also covered him fleas; a bunch of them fell off of him, they said.
But, to me at least, that wasn't the worst part.
Remember how there was something dangling from his leg?
Well, apparently, there was this metal hook thing in his leg, and the fur/skin that came off we dangling on it.
The vet said that either someone was trying it 'fix it'(because making thing worse fixes everything) or someone was being mean to it. Either way, I hope a tree falls on them.
He told us about the options we had; they could operate on it, which would, of course would cost a lot of money, around 400, I believe, or amputate it, which would cost even more, about 1,400 dollars, which meant that it was out of the question.
And then he said that we might end up having to put him to sleep.
and then I started to cry.
Anyway, my mom and my dad (My mom called him) talked with the vet.
They're going to going to put an IV in him with warm fluids and ... something else, I don't remember, and they're going to test him and see if he leukemia.
I pray he doesn't.
They're going to monitor him and, if he's strong enough and everything, they'll do surgery on his leg.
They said that there's a slim chance he'll make it and not to get our hopes up.
I don't know anything about it (None of us do). I don't even know if it's a boy or a girl, but ...
I'm so worried about it. I've cried so much today over it and the thought of having to have it put to sleep makes me ill. I know that if there's nothing that can be done for it, if it's in pain, if it's to injured, that there's nothing else we can do ... but I don't want it to die.
It's been through so much pain; who know's how long it's been like that? God knows that pretty much no one in that stuck up neighborhood wouldn't care to help it. It doesn't deserve this at all.
I'm sorry this is so long, and if this is in the wrong place ...
I just wanted to put this up and ask to please pray a little for it to be okay ...
