Brave little Kitty

The best part of Mommy's job is helping animals. But one of the worst parts of Mommy's job is knowing why she has to help some animals...This kitten, who Uncle Eldon has named "Fortune," was brought to Mommy a few days ago by a client who picked her up off the road after being hit by a car. As is too often the case, the driver who hit Fortune did not stop and left her to die. But Fortune was not ready for that and with multiple pelvic fractures and no use of her rear legs, dragged herself along until our client helped her. She came to us soaking wet, only 94 degrees, and unable to move, meow, or even hold her head up...

Some people just have a natural inclination to comfort and love hurt animals. Emma seems to be one of those people. She has taken to Fortune in a way that has surprised Mommy. She seems to know that Fortune needs help and she has been so gentle with her. Fortune will go back to the hospital with Mommy tomorrow for surgery. She may lose one leg but she has such heart, I know she'll do great. Once she is healed we will hopefully find a new home for this brave little kitty.

Fortune is so happy to be getting love. She can't seem to stop purring!
Yup, still purring.
Daddy's getting nervous but Fortune is still purring.
Cute little nose!
