This is ash. My 6 month old kitten. I got her at a shelter when she was 2 months old. She was terrified of everyone and everything. The shelter she was in did not treat her well, she was neglected. After only 2 weeks of having her she started coming out of her shell. When she has her energy bursts you'd think she was on crack. Always doing something funny. Once we moved she became even more energized and started to climb things. One day we came home I instantly knew something was wrong because she normally greets me with loud meows and snuggles. When I saw her she was curled up in her bed and didn't move from her spot when she saw me. I ran to her to see what was going on. I noticed a small scrap on her back leg. I performed my own small exam. Just applying small pressure feeling around to see if anything I felt was off. My boyfriend and I thought it was a sprain so we waiting till the morning to call the vet since she wasn't showing signing of pain. In the morning she showed signs she was better. She was still eating and drinking and walking around with only a small limp. So we waited. After a week I noticed she wasn't getting any better so we made a vet appointment for that day. They did xrays and found that her hip broke inn the socket and since we didn't bring her the time it happened she now needs surgery. The vet said since she's so young and we brought her to the vet in time there's a higher chance that they will be able to fix the ball on her femor and  it will go back in place. If she doesn't get the surgery soon she will need to have an amputation her leg since she rapidly loosing the muscle. My boyfriend and I do not have the money to save ashes leg. After loosing our jobs, going homeless and having no one that can help us out, we have to resort to this. We need help and fast. Please help up save ash so she can continue to run around and enjoy being herself.
