broken paw $???

crow_noir Yes, try the rescue groups. I know in my area there are vets that do vol. work for some of the rescue groups, who will also help animals belonging to people who can't afford it. As far as getting your dog and kitten together: take it slow, and always be in the room with them, until you know there is no threat to the kitten. It might take a long time- I am going through the whole thing now with my 2 cats and new dog (B.Collie/Black Lab mix). It was VERY apparent when we brought her home that she had never been around cats before- she thought they were for her to chase and hunt. She is doing fine now, although I still would not trust her yet to be alone with them.

crow, 3 greys starting going in the direction I'm going, but I think may have been too nice to finish her thought, but I'm not - Why isn't gramma paying the bill since she's the one putting her foot down?

One month is way, way too long to wait. Actually, it may already be. Bone starts to heal almost immediately. If it's been more than a day or two, the ends have already started to recalcify, which would mean having to rebreak the break and then setting it - which really would mean running into some big (relatively) bucks. And, unless the bone is reset (assuming it's more than a greenstick fracture), putting a splint on it will not fix it, it will just prevent further injury. Perhaps, if the foot is not causing any pain and is not impeding the cat's mobility, you might think of just leaving it as is. I had a little kitty who had two broken hips - one congenital, one due to cruelty. But they had already calcified and the vet said it would put him through more pain to try to rebreak and set his hips, and would probably not help him get around any better.

I wish I had better advice.
