This oh so sweet young cat was brought to Catz Jazz by way of a concerned cat lover who had noticed this cat near her residence in Copperas Cove. She had a kitten by her side and was very friendly. Then one day the cat showed up dragging her hind legs. This kind individual took the cat and her kitten to a local vet for exam and diagnosis. With x-rays it was cofirmed that the cat had complete breaks of both femeral heads of her rear legs. The vet informed the lady that she had two choices with the cat which were either a very expensive surgery or euthansia. Needless to say the woman was not ready to give up on the cat nor did she have the funds for such an expensive operation. A friend referred her to Catz Jazz from whom she had previously adopted a couple of her feline companions.

Upon speaking with the lady on the phone, Catz Jazz agreed to accept the cat and arrainged for her to be brought to their vet for further review. After reviewing the x-rays, observing the cat and discussions with Catz Jazz it was decided that no surgical intervention would be necessary at this time due to the fact that the cat is walking with her legs as they are and does not appear in pain. We are not going to possibly inflict more pain to this cat by having surgery done when she appears comfortable as is. Her kitten has been adopted into a loving home and Pearl is slated for spay surgery in the near future. She is such a dear cat and has no trouble walking around her home though we do limit her activity to no jumping and such similar activity.

Pearl is a special needs cat due to the fact that she will at some point need a rather costly surgery on her rear legs (which having viewed the x-rays we are amazed she is walking on at this time). This x-ray shows the femoral heads broken. Pearl is quite the trooper that one. Pearl needs to have her activity monitored so that she doesn't overdue causing her unnecessary pain. We would be grateful for any monetary funds on behalf of Pearl for her future surgery. She is treated by Dr. Meyer/Riverside Vet Clinic/2400 E. Oltorf St./suite 10A / Austin, Tx. 78741. Contributions can be made towards Pearls Fund c/o Catz Jazz.
