A cousin from Canada sent me this Gofundme for a kitten whose back legs don't work

EDIT: The kitten passed away at the vet's. Thank you so much everyone who contributed. You are the best of people.



You can read about her on the page. I think she is going to need her legs amputated and walk in a wheelchair. These people do not have much money at all. I donated and just checked and I'm the only one!!!

So if anyone has $5 or $10 bucks that they don't need can you chip in? Apparently the skin on the kitten's legs are now wounded because she keeps dragging them around.

Thanks for any help for little Frankie

This cat rescue in Ohio has two cats with no back legs - one, orange, named Coralie, lost her legs on account of severe frostbite; and the other, dark gray, named Magic, was born with back legs that were badly deformed. Both of them scoot around very quickly on their front legs. They can't jump but otherwise they are pretty mobile. If you watch the video they will turn up before long. Coralie is usually in one of the little huts.

You were so nice to have given such a generous gift!

I just messaged her and told her what happened. She is probably in bed now so I'm sure she will talk to me tomorrow.



I don't know if Gofundme has a way of returning money if something like this happens.

if needed for the vet bill. Otherwise, I'll contact gofundme for advice. Thanks
