"Yolo" got her second chance once readers of The Batavian saw her story posted Tuesday. The kitten is currently at the county Animal Shelter and will undergo surgery to amputate an injured hind leg tommorrow at State Street Animal Hospital.
According to Volunteers for Animals, prior to contacting us, they had raised half of the $600 needed for her medical care.
This afternoon we received the happy ending to this story in an e-mail from volunteer Andre Miller:
"THANK YOU THANK YOU! Power of the media. Not only have we raised enough money for Yolo, but she has a home!!!!! A woman saw your article and just lost her 16-year-old amputee kitty. She is going to take her home after surgery and care for the cat as she is retired and can give her lots of attention. So thank you for putting this out there! It's a lifesaver!"
We say thank you to our kind and compassionate readers and wish Yolo a speedy recovery!
