Heather needs your help

Heather is a small kitten we rescued from a feral colony. her mother had produced so many litters that this last litter did not develop fully and several of the kittens were tripods. Heather almost got the forth leg fully developed however she has no ankle or foot and she has a bone sticking out at the end of her hind leg.

Heather is going to need surgery to amputate part of her bone and allow the vets to bring some muscle down on the base of the bone to form a pad. this procedure will cost approximately $800 and we don't have it. we are desperate for donations right now. it is the beginning of the year, people are paying off Christmas and don't have extra money, however the running of a shelter does not end. we are out of money, we have to feed our charges and they all need vet care. Heather's care is desperate. We fear she will get a bone infection and then we won't be able to save her.

Please consider helping us by making a donation either to Heather or to the general fund.
