“This 4-week-old kitten was found severely injured and stuck in the wheel of a truck. He was removed by a towing company and received an emergency escort to a veterinary office, where they were able to do a quick evaluation.
Once they realized the extent of injury, they called on us to help this tiny kitten. He is currently at MSPCA at Nevins Farm where we will provide the medical care he needs – from there he will be going to foster until he is old enough for adoption.

We believe that at the bare minimum he will need an amputation, and will know more after we examine him, but expect the cost of care to be at least $5,000. Will you help make sure we can take the best care of him, and any animal that needs us?
In the meantime, can you help us come up with a name for this little guy?
*** UPDATE: He is doing great in foster. He is eating well, and despite his injuries, he is moving around. He will be a wonderful pet once he’s fully recovered ?
He will undergo surgery this week, and it will take him 4-6 weeks to be ready for adoption after that. We are still optimistic that we can save his leg!”-MSPCA-Angell.
