When Castle was rescued she had a very badly injured leg.  She spent her first night in a foster home.  Castle's foster mom said she was sweet and loving but she had trouble getting around as her leg dragged and appeared to cause her a lot of pain (even though she was on strong pain medication).  Despite her discomfort, she still managed to get in and out of her litter box - what a trooper!
 
 
The following day brought bad news.  The vet said Castle's leg needed to be amputated. Gangrene had already set in and she would potentially die of infection if the leg remained.  At only two pounds surgery was risky....but there was no other choice.  Once Castle was under anethsia the leg was X-rayed and it was discovered that the bones in her upper thigh were shattered, blood supply to the leg was minimal and sepsis (severe body infection) was inevitable. The timely amputation clearly saved her brave little life, but her recovery was still in question.
 
 
Miracles do happen. Just hours after Castle woke up from her surgery, she ate her dinner and precariously balanced on 3 legs to use her litter box.  The following day she was up practicing keeping her balance, eating well, and enjoying life.
 

Castle does not care that she lost her leg. All she knows is that she is free of her painful limb.  She loves to play, loves her cuddly stuffed animal and can run from one end of her large cage to the other like any other normal healthy love bug kitten. Castle's foster mom says she holds her like a baby and she cries like one when she leaves her.

Ms. Castle is available for adoption. What a winner she turned out to be. Castle is very vocal, loving and a great cuddler. She gets around great and plays hard with her foster mates. She loves to be held and give lots of kisses. Castle would do well in most situations and great with other animals. Come see this little miracle girl with a great personality and lots of spunk.
