Two Boos is a five-month-old kitten in Pittsburgh, PA, who needs $1,000 for leg surgery.

I am a vet who volunteers with The Street Dog Coalition, providing care to pets of people experiencing homelessness. Two Boos belongs to a woman named Laura who was homeless, but recently found housing. Two Boos was out exploring in an unsafe area and got caught in a hole under a rock. Her rear leg broke and had to be amputated, and unfortunately, there were post-surgical complications.

Two Boos has a wonderful mix of a determined spirit alongside a gentle and understanding sense of self. Her determination to heal was apparent in that she allowed me to perform multiple bandage changes and she put up with daily medications and a cone around her head 24/7. Much more so than the average feline would be willing to endure.

Two Boos’ owner, who was previously homeless, does not have the funds for veterinary care. While I was able to provide a free month of medical foster care, the hospital bills had to be paid. Our PA Street Dog Coalition team is now trying to refill the kitty (pun intended).

11/12: Amputated rear right leg at Animal Friends Shelter.
11/19: Back into surgery for dehiscence and infection. Medical foster for 2 weeks.
11/22: Shivering, discharge, odor.
11/22- 11/24: Temp WNL and BAR.
11/25: Additional surgery at Humane Animal Rescue (HAR).
12/2: Continued treatment.
12/3: Recheck at HAR. Medical foster continued beyond 2 weeks.
12/19: Two Boos healed and returned home

Two Boos was amazing to work with and her calm personality is likely was the reason for her eventual healing. She was also very sweet with my household pets and family members. She adapted to having only three legs and entertained us with her sweet nature and keen interest in pair of unicorn slippers.
