Joleen is a sweet barn kitty who was found with her leg broken in two places. She was very sweet and was already spayed. We received a quote of $1,300-1,500 from our vet to amputate her leg. We decided to get her leg amputated and then find a family to give her a forever home out of the barn.

The surgery was been completed and we helped her gain weight and get healthy. She only weighed 4 lbs. and you could feel all her bones. She was fostered until she was back at a healthy weight.

Jolene was adopted by an amazing family. She is going to home with two other cats and two other dogs. The couple that adopted her was looking for a cuddly kitty and Jolene is a lap cat. She will be spoiled and have all the best care needed for the rest of her life.
