We HOPE his LEG does not have to be AMPUTATED-CHESTER'S Story

[0ManBitesZombie0]

Anyway, it's tragic what happened to poor Chester, but fantastic that he's gotten better! He seems such a sweetie. It's horrible to think what he's had to go through and that there are so many people who just don't care about animals. Then again, it's fantastic that there's probably more who -do- and who are willing to put in the time to make sure lovely animals like Chester get love and care :)

Replying to the comment below...cats should NEVER be let outside! TOOOOO many dangers!!! Are u out of ur mind????????

[0ManBitesZombie0]

@juleeluvsjovi I -completely- disagree. Well, not completely. It is dangerous, but some cats just can't cope with being stuck indoors. We let our cat outside. We kind of paid the price when he was hit by a car and severely injured, but thank god he survived. The point is, we would have kept him in after that, but even before he was properly better he was almost climbing the walls begging to be let out. There was and is no way that he would be happy as a house cat, it's simply not in his nature.

@juleeluvsjovi And some cats are like that, I think. They're cats. They aren't ... well...you know... I do think though, that there's a little bit of a difference between letting your cat roam free if you live in an English countryside village (like I) and doing the same if you live in a city. I guess both are equally dangerous, but I must say, I wouldn't be happy having an outdoors cat in a large city for one. But 'never' is a strong word and is a bit... broad.

Yes, I hope that too.

whatever you do dont get fleas in your house, you will never get rid of them. we bombed, sprayed, and vaccuumed everywhere in our house and we still have them. we might have to move....

[Largoertuff]

"you should never let them outside". Do you mean injured cats or any cat at all? In my experience cats that are allowed to walk outside freely seem more happier and behave more naturally. Cats who stays inside gets stressless, Cats are "free" animals after all and outdoors is their natural environment, unless you have a special breed of course. In my opinion, if your living situation doesn't allow your cat to walk outside, you should not get one in the first place.

what a beautiful cat. <3 what a poor thing.

[SRobacker]

That's too bad. :( Hopefully not.

I have a kitty that has similar injures. She was found in the woods near our house. You should check out my video "Worthy's Story".

Who could not take him in.

poor chester.. hes beautiful:) how is he now??

[NoahsKingdom]

Chester has been doing very well. He will always walk with a limp but he did survive! The volunteer who had been fostering him in her home while he was sick still has him. Chester has made friends with all of the other family cats. I have a feeling Chester is going to be what we jokingly call a "Foster Failure" It is when you foster a cat and then never give it up and keep it yourself! I will ask our volunteer if she can post any more info and eventually I will try to post a follow-up video!

[Fredrawksmore]

Aww, i am very sorry. even if the leg DOES have to be amputated, and if he gets a home, i know he will be loved, and i know he loves all of you at Noahskingdom

Chester is very, very beautiful.

God blees you beautiful people....for saving his life.

I wonder what happened to his leg in the first place.

He looks like the sweetest cat ever!

[Northern5tar]

Looks like the muscle tissue in his leg is mostly gone. Poor thing. He looks very sweet though. Still able to trust. Hope he'll be ok.

Great job you're doing guys!
