Help Summer Take His Next Steps on Three Legs

When Flopsy’s Friends Foundation took in Summer, a young kitten with a serious nerve injury affecting one of his legs, amputation had already been recommended. But with no broken bones, the rescue wanted to give Summer every reasonable opportunity to keep his leg.

They chose to give him time, supportive care, and physical therapy, hoping his damaged nerves might recover enough for him to regain function.

Unfortunately, despite those efforts, Summer’s injured leg has become severely contracted. At this point, it’s clear that the leg cannot be saved, and amputation is now the best option to give Summer a comfortable, active future.

It’s a difficult outcome after everyone at Flopsy’s Friends Foundation had hoped so strongly that his leg could recover. While they know this little fighter can have a wonderful life on three legs, it’s still hard knowing that Summer will have to undergo surgery after everything he has already been through.

Thankfully, Summer is young, resilient, and has so much life ahead of him. Once his damaged leg is removed and he has time to recover, he’ll be able to begin adjusting to life as a tripod with the support of the rescue behind him every step of the way.

Funds raised through Summer’s Waggle campaign will help cover the cost of his leg amputation and the veterinary care needed throughout his recovery.

Flopsy’s Friends Foundation gave Summer every opportunity to save his leg. Now, he needs our help taking the next step toward a more comfortable future.
