'Baby Girl' Cat Born With 5 Legs Will Have Surgery

Cat Lovers Make Plea For Deformed Animal

Animal lovers are making a special request for what they call a special little animal.

They said a cat, named Baby Girl, is living at the Washington Area Humane Society until she can find a permanent home.

The special part? Baby Girl was born with five legs.

A medical evaluation determined that the cat needed surgery to remove the extra leg and another crippled leg. Evaluators said the surgery would improve the animal's quality of life.


FRIDAY UPDATE: A doctor at Metropolitan Veterinary Center in Robinson Township has agreed to operate on the cat. A date for the surgery will be scheduled soon.

The shelter is still in need of someone to adopt the cat after surgery. Contact information is available at www.washingtonpashelter.org.
