OTTAWA Lucky the cat is recovering from a surgery to amputate her leg after she was found fending for herself and nursing her kittens, while dealing with a broken paw. The Ottawa Humane Society says the injured cat was found nursing her three kittens in the woods late last month. Ottawa Bylaw Services officers picked her up and rushed her to an overnight emergency veterinary clinic. The following day, Lucky and her three kittens were transferred to the Ottawa Humane Society critical care, where X-rays revealed the cat s leg was beyond repair. The Ottawa Humane Society thinks Lucky may have been struck by a vehicle. To improve her quality of life and reduce her pain, veterinarians amputated her leg the next day.
