Seeing Babbs before and after's gave me the idea for this thread. Isn't it amazing the transformations that these animals go through.
Lucky was one of the most pitiful creatures I have ever seen, in person or on the Animal Cops. He showed up here on New Years Eve 2-1/2 years ago, a little kitten about 3 months old- when we saw him, he was trying to eat bird seed and suet scraps from under our feeders. When I went out to try to see about him, he ran under a bush, and I knew something was wrong. I went back in to watch for him, and was horrified when I saw him go to wash his leg, and saw half of it was missing and the bone sticking out. It took us 2 days to capture him in a live trap. I took him to my vet to be put to sleep, but they called me a couple hours later and said if I would keep him till he was better, they thought they could fix him up.. and between us we could find him a home. They thought he was feral, but showed good signs of being able to be tamed. I said "ok"....
I blurred out the surgery site to make this photo a bit easier to look at. This was taken 2 weeks after he came home. I am glad I do not have photos of when he first came home. I don't want to remember what he looked like.
