Cat With Five Legs Lined Up For Op
Updated:16:35, Sunday January 27, 2008
Cats are known for having nine lives but a special feline in Pennsylvania has five legs - at least for the time being.
The moggy, named Babygirl, will undergo surgery to remove the extra leg and another crippled leg, although the operation has not yet been scheduled.
The surgery will leave the cat with three legs.
This will improve her quality of life, according to the Washington Area Humane Society in western Pennsylvania, where the cat will live until a home can be found for her.
Chrystin Rice, a kennel associate, said a woman brought Babygirl to the shelter on January 19.
The woman had first seen the stray animal as a kitten about a year ago in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, south of Pittsburgh.
Despite needing surgery, Babygirl appears to be in good health, Ms Rice said.
"It's actually a really, really nice cat," she said.
Ms Rice said some people had expressed interest in the cat, but no one had yet applied to adopt her.
"We've had a few calls come in, but everyone's just kind of asking how's she doing, when's the surgery," she said.
