As a small kitten trying to find her place in Houston Texas, Gidget had hundreds of obstacles laid out in front of her. She is merely a baby and yet she had to try to hunt for any morsel of food she can find, ward off predators, and try to find somewhere safe to curl up to rest. While left to her own devices, this sweet little kitten’s leg has been mangled due to the harsh realities of the streets.
Limping down the street, searching for help, it’s truly a miracle Gidget is even alive. Animal control officers spotted the kitten as she was hobbling and stopped to grab her. They really only reached a hand and this friendly little girl walked right over to receive a comforting pet. The officers who found her knew that with her injured foot, she would most likely perish in a shelter in the surrounding area and began calling rescuers trying to find her someone to help. Finally, rescuers at Rescued Pets Movement Animal Shelter told them they would take her in. Once they had her in their care, they realized the itty bitty could barely put the weight down on her little foot. They got her to the vet as soon as they possibly could to have x-rays taken so she could be fully assessed by the doctor. The doctor returned to relay that her leg was broken and it seemed to be caused by blunt force trauma, either by someone hurting her or, the vet thought, it could be from a car hitting her. They sent the team with pain medication, to help the adorable kitty cope with her pain until further medical care can happen.
Currently, rescuers have her little leg wrapped up, to ensure she does not injure herself further but can still move around and be active. Gidget is such a joy to have around the rescue, as she is a curious and fun little kitten, who desires a new life filled with cuddles and lots of playing. The team has every intention of seeing every part of this darling kitty’s health through and will be updating us as time goes on.
We are humbly asking for donations to go toward the required medical care that she needs in order to be a healthy and happy cat.
