BRAND-NEW KENSINGTON, Pa. — Earlier today, a lady dropped off a cat in distress at the center at Frankie’s Friends Cat Rescue in New Kensington. Immediately, volunteers understood something was really incorrect. Veterinarians discovered a piece of electrical wire twisted around the cat’s leg – a lot so that it was cutting off blood circulation.
“We have him bandaged up right now…” said Julia McCurry of Frankie’s Friends. “We’re not sure if the limb can be saved at this point, due to the infection.”
It’s been a rough couple of days for Sparky the Cat, who is thought to be less than a years of age and dealing with the possibility of having his leg cut off. Volunteers think this was one hundred percent deliberate.
“Unless he can grow thumbs and twist it on himself…this wasn’t an accident,” McCurry said.
Sparky has the ability to hobble around the center as employee attempt to make him comfy. They said sparky was discovered in a trailer park in Sarver and have actually seen cases like this prior to. Last year, Channel 11 fulfilled Vic, who was discovered with an elastic band injury firmly around his leg.
Volunteers count on contributions to help take care of these animals in requirement however said that even with help from the general public, these scenarios never ever get simpler.
“What type of person would do this to this cat? This is a sweet little guy who just wants attention – so obviously, I mean, he doesn’t deserve this,” McCurry said.
Once he is recovered, Sparky will be put up for adoption. If you wish to understand more or can assist with the examination, offer Frankie’s Friends a call.
