Fund for Roscoe’s Recovery Mission!

On the evening of July 30, we were contacted by a local citizen who found a tiny kitten in a parking lot that was limping and unable to walk. Unable to keep and care for him, she reached out to our rescue for help. We immediately took him directly to a vet for evaluation and treatment. Roscoe, affectionately named by the attending vet tech, had suffered trauma to his right front leg and was unable to put weight on it. X-rays revealed a broken humerus. The options that were presented were not good - complete amputation of the leg or euthanasia. We chose neither. The next morning, Roscoe was transported to an orthopedic hospital in Columbia for a second opinion. Roscoe, although only 9 weeks old, was a candidate for surgery, which included inserting a plate with screws and a confined recovery until the break healed. Roscoe came through the surgery like a champ and within 4-6 weeks, we anticipate him will be a normal, playful kitten with a long, healthy life ahead. Surgery was expensive, and Roscoe will require more follow-up visits and potentially another surgery in a few months to remove the plate. Recue funds are extremely limited for these types of extraordinary expenses, and the only way we can provide lifesaving care is to ask for your help. Please consider helping by donating to Kitty Konnection and ensure Roscoe receives the continuing care he deserves. Your donations are tax deductible. Thank you
