Pretty kitty


This is my kitty. We have had him for about 2 years now.

I found him one night in front of our apartment. He was weak, hungry, and cold. After picking him up, I realized he was also injured. My husband had wanted nothing to do with pets, so I smuggled him in the house and got him to the vet the next day. The vet said he had been on his own for, what he thought, 5 months and was only about 7 months old at the time. Plus he had been hit by a car over 2 to 3 months prior to finding him. He had a broken pelvis and no muscle what-so-ever on his hind legs. That day we had a blizzard and the vet was sure he would have died if we hadn't found him.

So we had 2 choices. Surgery or put him to sleep. Being that he was injured and in pain, they couldn't allow him to go on that way. So if we didn't want to get him surgery they would have to kill him. My heart sank. I could not afford surgery at the time. Before I had a chance to answer the vet, 2 of my good friends (that had come with me to the vet that day) looked at me and said Merry Christmas. They paid for the surgery so I can keep this beautiful kitty!

I love my Cody!!!
