We would like to tell you about Nala Marie and how Arthur’s Fund assisted in her recovery.
Nala was a 1.5-pound kitten who was brought to Smith Veterinary Hospital by a Good Samaritan in June of 2023. Nala was a stray who wandered into the Good Samaritans home looking for shelter. The Good Samaritan knew Nala was hurt and brought her directly to Smith Veterinary Hospital. Nala was seen by Dr. Sanchez and she was diagnosed with a broken right hind leg. It was determined that amputation was the best and most cost effect way to get Nala out of pain and on the way to recovery.
Unfortunately, the Good Samaritan could not keep Nala or afford to help with treatment of her injuries, so Dr. Sanchez contacted another client who was looking to help pets in need. This client was able to adopt Nala Marie and cover much of the cost associated in amputating the tiny kitten’s leg. Arthur’s Fund also covered a portion of the cost and helped bridge the financial gap between allowing Nala Marie to be treated and getting her into her adoptive parents’ home.
This is Nala 9 months later. Her amputation has not slowed Nala down one bit! She is happy and brings joy to her family every day.
