OMG, my hubby rescued a kitty!!!!!! Big news!!!

[critters]

The hand-thing is called syndactyly; it's the opposite of polydactyly. It's genetic in nature, and my Lefty has it, too. Humans can have it as well. Messybeast is down, but there's a good IVIS article and some human stuff you can search up. Messybeast has pics, but your baby has a pretty classic case. The split sternum concerns me most, and I'm anxious to see what turns up on the xray.

(Yes, Jan, it's me!!) Jan's been after me a long time to go ahead and join.

WOW!!! YAY Lee...now you saved me from posting about Snoopy's condition. Glad you jumped on board, welcome, and stick around for a while! We all love the special needs kitty stories, and I know you have plenty of tails to tell about them....and pictures perchance? Jan

NEW UPDATE !

I got a call from my vet again. At the University Clinic, they were very amased by what they saw on those x-rays. Snoopy sure is an unique case there!!
They also think that the opened chestbone isn't dangerous for her heart. To be sure however, they would like me to bring Snoopy there. They said that a malformation of the chestbone sometimes brings heart-issues . So they are planning to do an x-ray of the heart (or is it a scan??) to see if everything is normal there. I will make an appointment tomorrow for asap!

Here are, as promised , more pics of my cutie-pie

Oh, I love the new pictures of Snoopy. She is so tiny & cute.
Makes me just want to hold & cuddle her.

Glad to hear the vets think she will be fine... and that they are willing to spend their time investigating further! She is just such a special kitty and has already touched tons of people

AWWWWW!!!! Snoopy sure is a cutie pie and I hope that everything will go well with her next vet visit.

I have read this thread through. All of Lut's posts and scanned the replies. She is adorable.

Some of the pics are missing and in place of Zazou in one reply is a pug or bulldog?

Still adorable. I'm so glad he found her.

This thread is from 2006, but that is a bulldog puppy in the staring contest picture! Probably at the vet for a well-puppy check, and none too excited about it!

And her we are nine years later and Snoopy is a Grand Big Cat with her Sisters and a Little Orange Lion as her Furr Ever Friend .
You kindness and mercy have been repaid so many times over with Snoopy's love. A Meewomy PetMas from the Found Hotel Cats!!!

Ah, I couldn't see the cat in the pic; It must be a missing one.

I'd just thought I'd re-post to save some trouble.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Thanks for bringing that thread up again!
I still remember how much support and wishes I got from so many Pt'ers!!
That picture with that dog, I don't remember what it is doing there..., it is my sisters english bulldog Bo.
This should have been a picture of Inka & Snoopy in a staring contest !!

I remove that picture now

Thanks! Tons of tails, and a few pics (my new digital camera doesn't talk to my computer very well).
