news:EJd5k.4382$WH.3901@trndny05... Oh, Phil, I am so glad you
found her. How is she now?

She had to be euthanized. Its a horror story.

I am so sorry to hear about this. But at least she is out of pain now.
Thanks for your efforts in trying to help her.


She was in excruciating pain from cancer of the bone in her right
rear leg- which understandably made her very aggressive- pain-induced
aggression. Her owners had her declawed recently ... at about 8 years
old probably because she was aggressive (from the pain). She had a
recent incision wound on her right rear leg where it appears a biopsy
sample was taken.

Someone left her in shopping cart in a carrier in one of the
Petsmarts where we have an adoption center. When we took her out of
the carrier, she favored her right rear leg so we thought she might
have had a broken leg or fractured bone so I immediately took her to
the emergency hospital. X-rays revealed a mass in her leg which
turned out to be an osteosarcoma which had metastasized to her liver
and lungs. The if the cancer didn't metastasize, we might have been
able to save her life or at least extend it with amputation of the
leg. But she was riddled with cancer and has been suffering for
months.

Call it whatever you like- but I want to find the people who allowed
her to suffer and then dump her. But I *really* want to find the vet
who performed the declaw surgery on cat that was already in pain.

You might have thought of this already and if so then please ignore the
following. Does this Petsmart have a Banfield Veterinary hospital
inside? Perhaps the surgery was done there? Why drag a sick cat in a
carrier all the way to Petsmart to dump her? Perhaps the person had just
picked her up at the vet, and just decided on the way out to the car to
dump her. Though I suppose that there could be other reasons for it.

Jesus Christ! Just when you think you've heard the worst, a story like this
comes along!
Poor, poor kitty girl.

My Amber is an orange female.

That is a very good point. I've never met or even heard of an orange
female, not that I can recall.

That poor, poor, beautiful girl...

yeah. You can see the fear and pain in her face. Just rips the heart out.

When I was teenager, we had an orange longhaired female, Jingles. She had
one litter of kittens, which included an orange and white girl, who we kept
, a solid orange girl, and two orange boys, who found good homes.

I thought they were fairly rare until this year. We found a colony of cats
living in a business park. We've trapped 5 orange females so far. We think
there are at least a couple more females still out there (orange) as well as
a buff male and possibly an orange male or two.

We found this group when we were following up on a phone call about kittens
at that location. We didn't find any kittens. Apparently employees of
surrounding businesses had taken the kittens home already. What we did find
is infuriating me. There are people back there who have been feeding for a
few years. They were aware of one particular kitten who's leg got broken
LAST SUMMER when she was just a small kitten. The idiots left her out there.
When we were talking to them trying to find out how many cats were there,
who had been pregnant recently etc. they told us that we were butting in
where we weren't wanted and that they didn't need our help. We've been
trapping anyway and managed to lure the kitty with the broken leg into a
trap on Memorial Day. She had to have the leg amputated a few days later.
Those *******s left her out there with a chronic infection in the broken leg
for over a year and had the brass to tell us they didn't need our help. I
don't know if the leg could have been saved if they had acted promptly or
not but she would have been younger and probably easier to socialize.

Here's my girl before her surgery

This one was taken the other day after she got her stitches out

Phil, what a nightmare for that poor creature. I am sick to my stomach.
I can't imagine the rage you must feel over this.

I've cooled down to a rage. If I found the owners a few days ago, I'd be
posting this from a jail cell now.



Bless you for putting her out of her misery. I hope you are able to
identify the owners and the vet and take them to task.


The cops wouldn't even start an investigation. So be it.



I have co-workers in that area. I am going to send this information to
them and ask them to spread the word. I will contact you via email if I
get any leads.

Thanks. I can't let this go.

Jesus, I am so sorry she went through this. I hope you find the
perpetrators.

There's not much I can do, legally... but that still leaves a whole lot that
I can do. I just can't let what happened to this cat go.

Since there can't be any justice, I'll settle for vengeance.
