From Champaign Area Trap Spay Neuter and Adoption Program

Imagine being alone in the world at a very young age, trying to find food and avoid becoming food, and as time goes on, you notice that one of the four legs that gets you around and helps you evade capture is hurting. Something is wrong, and you have no way of healing yourself or even knowing who or what might get you mobile and out of pain. You might not even know how you'll make it through the next day, but you keep hoping! Lucky for little Ollie, we were trapping in his area, and we saw what he needed. He needed the basic vet care we provide to all our cats, such as neuter and vaccines, but he also needed a leg amputation! He has healed up with plenty of love and pain medication, and we find that cats do very well on three legs. They can get around just fine, often to amazing effect, outleaping many cats with all their limbs. Ollie is not precisely shy, but he did have a very rough start, so he needs someone with cat sense who will continue to actively approach him, pick him up, and otherwise show him that things are okay and will continue to be that way. He would do best in a calmer home with cat savvy adults and no kids, though he likes other cats. Ollie can be easily held…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
