Lucky is a 1-month-old Domestic Shorthair kitten in Sarasota, FL, who needs $1,350 for emergency surgery.

When Fox Foster Kittens saved Lucky, they discovered he was lucky to be alive.

He was only one month old and suffered gruesome injuries. Two of his legs were shredded to the bone and infected.

"Thankfully, Fox Foster Kittens came to his rescue just in time," Samantha F., with the group, tells Waggle. "It's unclear how he sustained such horrific injuries."

Lucky needed emergency surgery to amputate his front right and back left mangled legs. It was the only option to save his life.

"It was a nerve-wracking surgery, and we weren't sure he was going to make it, but this tiny and mighty one-pound boy held on," Samantha says. "The brave and resilient cat survived against all odds!"

Lucky is doing well post-op and learning to balance and get around on his two opposing legs.

"Adjusting to life on two legs isn't easy, but we know kittens are incredibly resilient," Samantha adds. "He's already learning to navigate and getting stronger each day."

Now the rescue group is racing to raise money to pay for his surgery and future medical needs.

Every dollar you give will make a huge difference in Lucky's life.
