She's not putting much weight on one of her hind legs. She may have injured it outside on something as she limped to me this afternoon. Working on the "Underground Cat Railroad" to get this kitty groomed first and foremost. Sweet, and appreciating the warmth she's been lacking all Winter. I feel like vomiting at the stench in my bathroom though.
Makes me so angry when people basically 'throw' away pets.

It sounds like you got to her just in time, she's so lucky she's in good hands. Starving too. My word.

There is such a thing as a dematting tool..but it sounds like it's so bad it's too far gone, a lion cut and a good bath is the only way to go probably a lot easier on kitty too. When they are matted that bad the urine doesnt always make it to the ground, which obviously doesnt help with the stench that over and over again would be so rank. Yikes.

Kudos to you for caring and making a difference!
