Pippin

Pippin is a very pretty tabby cat - one of a litter of four born in July 2002 - found with their mother under a garden shed at 7 weeks old. The mother was a friendly oriental cross who was easily homed.

The kittens are becoming very friendly. Pippin had been attacked by a rat soon after birth and her rear legs were chewed off at the knees. However, as she had survived so well we decided to give her a chance.

She needed some surgery at 9 months old because a piece of the Tibia, with a sharp point, had pushed through one of her stumps.

Pippin copes very well, getting around O.K., sometimes walking on her front legs, and using her litter tray. She will have to spend her life on a carpeted area and because her future is uncertain she will probably spend her life with us.

Pippin’s litter sisters are – Molly, Millie and Wendy.
