Delilah was a sweet tortie kitten brought in by a homeless person who found her with a horrible injury to her leg. After trying to get her help at different rescues, he came to Jelly’s Place and we took her in. Her leg was so injured that her bone was exposed. She needed an amputation, and because gangrene had set in, the vet had to remove most of her shoulder blade, then transfer other muscle to partially recreate her shoulder. Delilah then she required another hospitalization and extended treatment to overcome a serious infection that set in after the original injury. Delilah got along with other cats and loved to be held and petted. As Delilah was recovering, one of our volunteers showed pictures of her to a friend who had another three-legged cat, and she fell in love. Delilah is now happy in her new home and has a sibling just like her. Thanks to the Petfinder Foundation, Delilah had a second chance.
