After discovering an unexplained lump on our 11 year old cat’s shoulder, multiple visits to the veterinarian, and a lot of informational and emotional support from the Tripawds community, Fang went from having four legs to only three. Four months have passed since Fang’s amputation, and he has long since returned to his same old outdoor-loving, hunting, cuddly and playful self. His ability to never miss a beat and to rise up to these challenges so quickly shows us how resilient and adaptable animals are, and just how much we can learn from them.

FANG FANG FANG!!! YOU ARE OUR LEADER!!!
Without you, I would still be under my covers, with Jill, refusing to get out of bed pretending this was all a nightmare.
Yours was the first kitty tripod blog I found and I cannot thank you enough for how you put my mind at ease before her surgery.
You are the best Fang and Fang's Mommy!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!

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.

Not bad for a cat Fang 
. Seriously, it's awesome to see you here and doing so well. You make 3 legs look like childs play. And you are clearly an inspiration for other kittys.
Spirit Magnum
Magnum: 30th May 2002 to 5th May 2012. Lost her back left leg to osteosarcoma on 5th Sep 2011. Lung mets found on 20th Mar 2012 but it was bone mets in the hip that ended her brave battle. Magnum's motto - "Dream as if you'll live for ever, live as if you'll die today" (James Dean). Loyal, loving, courageous and spirited to the end. My beloved heart dog, see her memoirs from Rainbow Bridge ...... http://princess.....pawds.com/
