Oh, Kristin. I'm so sorry.

sorry Kristin
I'm very sorry, Kristin.

Blessings on all kitties and their people.
I'm so sorry, Kristin. But when you get around to reading amych's "for later," I've something to add. We trapped TC, a feral, more than a week after whatever trauma had snapped his entire rear foot off at the ankle. The wound wasn't closed, would never have closed on its own. He would have died. Other than the trauma, he was completely healthy, so we had the leg amputated. Socializing him was far more fraught than him learning to live on three legs--and he was well past kittenhood. He's done amazingly well, and he enjoys his life. They adjust amazingly well and fast--better than their humans, usually.
All good thoughts to you and your kitty.
