* Betsy found her forever home with awesome people! Yay Betsy! *

Betsy was found as a stray with a broken leg. Hamilton Animal Services was called and they took Betsy to their vet where her leg was wrapped up and she was put on pain medication. After Betsy’s stray time was done and no owner came forward to claim her, HAS reached out to us for help. We transported Betsy to see Dr. O’Brien at Village Cat Clinic, and the leg was given a thorough exam. The break was so severe, our options were; try to repair it with several expensive surgeries, or, amputate the leg. There was no guarantee the surgeries would be successful, and this extensive treatment would be a lot for this poor girl to go through for the possibility that it won’t work. After much discussion with Dr. O’Brien, it was decided the best thing for Betsy would be to remove the leg.

Betsy had the leg removal and spay surgery a few days after her rescue, and everything went great. Big thank you to Dr. Kornya and all the staff at The Cat Clinic for taking such great care of Betsy.
She has now recovered in her foster home after a few more vet visits when she managed to get some sutures out despite her cone! Betsy is still as happy and purry as she was before. She’s a sweet, sweet kitty and now that she has the go-ahead from her veterinary team, Betsy is ready to find her forever home!

Here’s a note from Betsy’s foster family:
“Betsy is such a sweet little soul! She’s friendly, gentle, affectionate and was an absolute champ getting through her leg amputation and weeks of cone-wearing. She loves pets, loves to play and roll around and purr. She’s fast on three legs and still figuring out stairs and jumping up onto things. She’s been hanging out with our kitty for the past week or so and they play together as well so it looks like she wouldn’t mind having kitty friends. She’ll make someone a wonderful forever kitty.”

Big thank you to our awesome board member/volunteer/huge supporter Kylie from The Brow Room for helping us with Betsy’s rescue and transport!
