Need some advice from cat lovers

[Karen]

My gut says amputation, I have known three-legged kitties and even one dog who got along fine. He won't have the jumping ability he used to, but I bet otherwise would be okay!

what Karen said. I would go with amputation in an otherwise healthy kitty. They will learn to get along without the limb just fine. Look at the other thread with a two legged kitten in it. It's so inspiring.

I hope you'll find out what kind of cancer you're dealing with and that Kiki will be able to have surgery and live a full and productive life yet.

Ouch! Poor kitty!

That looks like it need immediate attention, and if it is growing quickly, well, the sooner the better.

As to WHAT to do the sooner . . . I am sending my prayers for you as you make this decision.

Aw poor baby.

I would consider amputation first before euthanasia. Is the cancer just in his heel?

My prayers are with you.

I'd rather amputate than euthanize if he's healthy otherwise but obviously it isn't my decision to make. Poor little guy must be in pain and if it's spreading as fast as it is, then you'll probably have to make the decision quickly. Best wishes w/whatever you decide. Prayers going up for that beautiful boy right now......
