Lucy Too

short on legs- but not on heart

Lucy Too came into my life on 18th December 2005. I had phoned my vets to ask for a repeat prescription for Bugs and they asked if I had room for another cat. Lucy had been abandoned at the local RSPCA clinic. Her family had brought her in to be put to sleep because they had bought home a dog and she hated it!! Our vet refused to put her to sleep on those grounds and got them to sign her over. He noted she had something wrong with her front leg and x-rays showed it had a partially healed compound fracture. Because is was partially healed out of alignment he had to remove the leg. It's most likely Lucy had been hit by a car as she had a lot of damage to her teeth too. She was so incredibly nervous to begin with and I wondered if she would ever calm down. Thankfully with much love and affection she is a much happier cat now. she is still very nervous of loud noises and strangers but has proved to be a very loving and affectionate cat.

My brother and I were found in the trunk of a car when we were 1 week old. Some nice rescue ladies nursed me back to health and I was taken in by my mommy and daddy when I was 6 weeks old. My brother went to the Rainbow Bridge. Daddy said I was ugly - big ears, little fur, looked like Yoda. Mommy always said I was beautiful and would grow up to be even more so! Mommy said to add that I have quite a purrsonality and am always fun to have around! It's been almost three years now!
