A little kitten from Perth, Australia, was brought to Warwick Veterinary Hospital for assistance. The cat was barely 172 grams in weight and seemed to be a few weeks old.
The medical team did their best, as one of his legs was compromised. The young child was given their best efforts to overcome the challenging circumstances by Dr. Fiona South and her veterinary staff.
Veterinary nurse Kate Hayes said:
“As strong as he was, we weren’t giving up. The only option we had was to amputate her leg sooner rather than later as she was heavily infected and she had started to essentially die, risking sepsis.”
The surgery to which the little girl underwent was quite risky for her age and condition. The vets didn’t know if she would make it through, but they were willing to do her best.
Kate tells:
“Honestly, I didn’t think she would survive the surgery being so young and so small, but she did.”
The tabby cat was a warrior, and survival was what drove her most. The institution has never done such a significant orthopedic surgery and operation on a young animal before; they were pleased with their success.
Happy Kate confirmed:
“This little cat embodies power,” said the author. His boldness truly astounds us. Peggy—also referred to as “Peg Leg”—is his name. As of late, he has been gaining weight and growing stronger every day.
Kate offered her house as a place for Peggy to complete her healing process since she was so concerned about her rehabilitation.
Moon, the woman’s dog, greeted the kitten enthusiastically right away. He has always shown an interest in the kittens and assists in their care, so after giving her a sniff and sensing his need for her attention, he laid down next to her; he is quite loving.
Moon helped her mother in caring for Phoenix, a three-legged cat, three years ago, and she will definitely help Peggy now.

“Moon remains at an animal’s side and weeps with it if it is unwell or weeping. He is really compassionate.
As soon as Moon hears Peggy crying, she rushes to her side immediately to make sure she’s okay. The sweet dog enjoys helping his mother with the little ones he brings home and tries to help and take care of them at all times.
The three-legged kitty is starting to feel better after receiving all that affection from Moon; she is aware of his concern for her and expresses it by giving her front paws a loving massage and cuddling as closely to her dog as she can.
Moon is having a great time taking care of her younger sister. She insists on always being by her side and gives her adorably soft-lipped baths.
Fortunately, Peggy is recovering positively and has a lot of love from this furry one who stays by her side as her support. Moon really wants to be there for her at all times.
