The Story of the Five-Legged Cat

Cat with five legs dropped off at shelter.
Veterinarians look at it, realize something is not right with a cat
that has five legs, confer among themselves, agree to remove two legs.

Linda Hughes of the Washington Area Humane Society holds "Baby Girl," an eighteen-month-old five-legged cat.

Cats may have nine lives, but one unique feline has five legs — for now.

The
cat, named Babygirl, will undergo surgery to remove the extra leg and
another crippled leg, though the operation has not yet been scheduled.

The
surgery is expected to leave the cat with three legs, and improve her
quality of life, according to the Washington Area Humane Society, 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 Jan. 19. The woman had first seen the stray animal as a kitten about
a year ago in Canonsburg, south of Pittsburgh.

Babygirl appears to be in good health, Rice said Saturday.

"It’s actually a really, really nice cat," she said.

Rice said some people have expressed an interest in the cat, but no one has 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," Rice said.
