Spooky at the vets after her procedure

We see all things through our doors - our latest puzzle is Spooky!

Spooky is a 10-week-old kitten with a remarkable story.
Her mum arrived at the centre after being found living rough, sadly her owner was never traced.
Arrangements were made with our vet to have her neutered but before the procedure was carried out it was discovered that she was indeed hiding some surprises - she was pregnant.
Some weeks later gave birth to five kittens, including little Spooky.

Sadly, Spooky was born with deformities affecting one of her back legs and a dislocating hip joint. After veterinary assessment, the difficult decision was made to amputate her leg.
Our Vet Kevin at Ashgrove Veterinary Centre here in Aberdeen performed the procedure and Spooky was soon up and eating!
She took it all in her stride and amazed everyone by bouncing back incredibly quickly, running around and playing the very next day.

Now being fostered in the home of our Asst. Manager, Spooky is thriving and growing in confidence every day. Full of character and mischief, she doesn't let having three legs slow her down one bit, and she has certainly captured the hearts of everyone who has met her.

Spooky will go up for adoption once she is signed off by the vet. She will need a special home who can understand her disability and joint issues.

Working in rescue always throws up something new and Spooky is the first kitten we have seen with this condition.
