Nubby's Leg Wasn't Broken-It Was GONE

Nubby had been a neighborhood stray for years. Kind people fed her and looked out for her, but recently someone noticed she was limping. When they were finally able to get a closer look, they discovered something horrifying. Half of one of her back legs was simply gone.

There was exposed bone where the rest of her leg should have been. Even more unbelievable, the wound had already begun trying to heal—telling us Nubby had been living this way, and living with the pain, for quite some time.

We have no idea what happened to her. We thought we were prepared for what the veterinarian might find. We weren’t prepared for the X-ray.

Her injury was far worse than what we could see from the outside. The remaining portion of her damaged leg is completely rotated backward. Had her foot still been there, it would be pointing behind her.

And then we learned her pelvis had also been broken. Somehow, this little cat has been surviving outside with all of that. And after everything she has endured, Nubby is incredibly affectionate. Now she needs our help.

Nubby needs surgery to properly amputate the remaining damaged portion of her leg and finally take away the source of her pain. While she is under anesthesia, she will also be spayed.

And something wonderful is waiting for her on the other side of surgery: Nubby will never have to live outside as a stray again. She has a foster home waiting where she can recover safely and begin the life she should have had all along.

We need to raise $500 for Nubby’s medical care. That’s 25 people giving $20.
50 people giving $10. Or a whole lot of us giving whatever we can.

Nubby survived an unimaginable injury on her own. She kept going through a broken pelvis, a devastating leg injury and pain we can only imagine. She has done the hard part. Now it’s our turn.
