WELCOME BOBBY!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOUR HAIRDO! You are one handsome guy and Jill already has a big big crush on you! We can't wait to hear and see more of you! We are so happy you found such a great home. And so happy for Lori and family to have found such a cute sweet boy!
Jill is a 9-year-old tuxedo kitty. She was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma in June 2012 on her toe in her right hind leg. Her leg was amputated on 12/12/12 and she completed four rounds of chemo (2 of Carbo, 2 of Doxy) in April 2013.

Welcome Bobby! You have officially fallen into a bed of roses.
Kathi and Murphy
Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

Welcome to the family Bobby! Can't wait to learn more about you and your adventures!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife

Welcome Bobby! Love the 'do! My Maine Coon will be sporting something similar to that soon to get us through the lazy grooming days of summer! I think Steve (our Tripawd) will escape that fate until she gives us a reason otherwise. Also, orange cat love here <3 !!
Right rear leg amp due to injury from unknown cause (but don't tell her she's missing her spare...yes HER!)
