Two impossibly adorable cats are getting a second chance at happy lives with forever homes after being taken in by the team at non-profit veterinary clinic Vet Ranch and being treated for injuries that would have otherwise had them euthanized.
A woman found the first of the two kitties, Peggy, hanging from a fence, presumably after having attempted to jump over it and getting snarled. Peggy's leg had swollen to half it's normal size and after some quick x-rays, Dr. Matt determined to preemptively amputate her leg so it wouldn't further complicate her health. It saved her life.
Leela, by contrast, is a young calico who'd been found with an infected eye. Leela had never known human kindness and much like Peggy, hissed and clawed at her rescuers when she was first taken in for her injuries. Dr. Matt ultimately decided that removing the infected eye was the best method for her rehabilitation.
During their recovery period, Leela and Peggy were paired together while they recuperated. Though they'd been homeless much of their short lives, the two began to warm to each other and their doctors, proving that every animal — even those frequently deemed unworthy of saving — are capable of leading happy and healthy lives with the proper care and attention.
