A little kitty was brought to vets with horrifying injuries.
Vets examined the kitty, which was brought to them with one leg hanging off, had a little chances to survive medical surgery.
But only four weeks later, the tiny kitten – who has been named Tripod after his three legs – has battled back from the brink at a Cat Protection volunteer’s home.
Cats Protection volunteer Carole Hill with Tripod, who she helped him to come back to health.
Carole Hill, who has been keeping and caring for the kitty at her home in Hollywood, Birmingham, said it was an amazing recovery.
She said she took him to work with her at one of the city’s schools so she could feed him every four hours as his mom would have.
She said: ‘He has made a truly incredible recovery – it is really quite miraculous.
‘Against all he has been through he has turned into a confident satisfied small kitty and can run everywhere perfectly well on his three legs.
‘I work as a teaching assistant at a school and bring him to work with me each day to fed him every four hours.
‘He has got his own small room at school and some of the kids from the special needs class help me look after him which has been amazing for them.’
Now six weeks old, Tripod is looking for a new permanent sweet home after fighting for life since his birth.
PIC BY CATERS NEWS – Tripod, six week old, three-legged kitten.
He was brought to the vets by a couple who said his leg had been trapped in a door and they could not take care of him anymore.
Chris Osborne, coordinator of Cat Protection’s Mid-Warwickshire branch, said the charity had been surprised by Tripod’s recovery.
She said: ‘We got a call from a vet surgery to say someone had left this tiny kitty which had one of its legs literally hanging off.
‘The vet said he was only two-weeks-old, which was far too young to be apart from his mom.
‘He required life-saving surgery to remove the leg, which was very risky in such a young kitty.
Now this kitty have a chance to enjoy his life.
