Demi
Adopted November 2013
Demi came
into Gagemount Animal Hospital when the couple who had been feeding this
little stray kitten noticed she was suddenly unable to walk. After some
X-rays were done the problem was obvious; her right femur was
completely broken and her pelvis was broken in at least 2 places.
Without treatment her prognoses was poor.
This is when Animal Welfare stepped in and took on Demi's case. They
covered the cost of her expensive surgery and rehabilitation. An
orthopedic surgeon was able to save Demi's leg by using a pin to
stabilize the broken bone, and her pelvis should heal naturally with 4-6
weeks of strict cage rest. It has been a few months now since her
surgery and Demi is healing wonderfully. She is once again able to run
and play, albeit with a bit of a swagger due to her pelvis healing
slightly crooked.
Demi used her constant purring and wonderful demeanor to find her
forever home, which she shares with two other kitties. Without the
generosity of Animal Welfare this little kitten would most likely not be
with us today.
