Mowgli was brought into the shelter and he was unable to walk and in a lot of pain. He has been rescued by thehappykittyrescue and he is recovering well!
Hi, veterinary surgery technician here! Cats often do not need surgical intervention for a broken pelvis! Cage rest and antiinflammatories are often all they need (obviously severe cases need surgery and please go to the vet if your pet is limping). We joke that if you get both pieces of a cat bone in the same room they will heal. They're incredibly resilient little creatures+
Cats that disappear and hide aren't always abandoned - this cat may have a worried owner searching for it - always chip your pets so everyone can cooperate in helping them.
Our cats are given a little supervised time outdoors in the summer… we round them up if they go more than 25’ away from the house. They usually just sleep in the sun on the deck

Looks like the leg(s) may have not set properly and there is lots of hope for this kitty.

Probably fed by bystanders. In nature that cat is so dead. Liek so ded.

Handsome kitty

pretty kitty. not in a full body cast so maybe the fractures will heal up on their own given enough time?

i am so happy to hear this!

Nothing a good whiskey can't solve. (But I'm guessing there were only hairline fractures that had already healed or didn't need casts?)
laserfrog
the cat couldn't walk

Provably mostly because of pain.

Drugs don't fix the damage

Cage rest is often all they need for broken pelvi in cats and even dogs in some cases.
InitHello
There is a special hell for people who abandon pets. A special hell.

InitHello
Both of our cats are chipped and snipped.

There's also a special hell for people who let their cats roam outside in areas that are severely dangerous for them

All outside is dangerous for domesticated house cats. Cat's should never be let to roam free outside. Never.
InitHello
Agreed. It's dangerous for them and harmful to the ecosystem. Domestic cats are an invasive species. Also declawing is animal abuse, full stop.
