Video of Lucky – https://www.instagram.com/share/reel/BBoMC3RCco

Lucky the cat wasn’t so lucky when he met with an accident on the streets that he lived in for years. This happened in September 2024 and the accident resulted in Saddle Thrombus, a blood clot that blocks blood supply to the back legs. To save him from necrosis, his right hind leg was amputated.

He has since recovered from his amputation, and is doing well.

Cats that survive Saddle Thrombus will need medication to prevent blood clotting and an indoor lifestyle. He is now on clopidogrel and it will be for life. Not to worry, it’s an affordable medication and the tablet can be put in his food.

Lucky can be quite lively once he settles down his environment. He is friendly, curious, and outgoing, like most male tabby cats. He is now in a temporary foster home. Our community feeders saved his life and all we want now, is to find him a permanent home where he can spend the rest of his life.

Lucky:

• Male tabby DSH, sterilized with a tipped ear
• Estimated 6-7 years old, weighs around 5kg
• 3-legged cat (back right limb amputated due to a street accident)
• Litter trained (no issues despite being a tripod cat)
• Very affectionate to humans. Okay with female cats (he’s quite afraid of the resident female cats actually), not good with boy cats

He needs a cat experienced owner who can adhere to the following:

• Cat must be kept INDOORS
• Meshing is a must for windows/gates because one limb less will not deter cats from scaling heights
• Provide wet & dry food
• Have the financial means to provide vet care as and when needed
• A small adoption fee & signing of adoption contract applies
• Allow a pre-adoption home visit and periodic home visits (pre-arranged) by fosterer/ rescuer when the cat is adopted so that we know he is well. We will provide care guidance along the way

Note: I am not the foster, but one of the feeders who saved hm. Please contact [email protected] if you are interested to adopt
