Healed with tons of love.

Update: Augustus was adopted on June 26th!

For the vast majority of cats, there is no recovering from being hit by a car. But this playful and affectionate youngster had many heroes step up to give him hope again.

Augustus, like all cats, belongs safely indoors. Somewhere along the way though he was banished to outdoor living and, all too predictably, he was struck by a car and left to die in the street.

A compassionate couple scooped him up and took him to a local veterinary hospital for care. They paid for x-rays, which revealed that his rear left leg snapped in half and shifted out of alignment.

Repairing his leg required internal and external pins, and months of cage rest for healing. We agreed to his rescue and rehabilitation, thanks to the veterinary hospital reducing their fees to support his rescue, and thanks to one of our committed volunteers and supporters who paid most of his expenses.

Augustus has recovered well enough that he debuted in Adoptions today. He has a slight limp, but he moves well on his repaired leg. He is ready for his forever home, perhaps with a quieter lifestyle, so please come meet and adopt this very good-natured youngster.
