Trike’s Story

Trike

This very handsome cat was brought to our attention after he was hit by a car. Trike was non-weight bearing and no doubt in a tremendous amount of pain. Once at ER Trike was given pain medications and received radio-graphs where the staff discovered a significant femoral fracture. Their suggestion for Trike was to amputate his right femoral limb. (Hence the name Trike). Once the limb was amputated, he was transferred to Santa Barbara County Animal Services, where he was cared for until his staples were removed. During that time, a shelter volunteer grew very fond of him and wanted to foster him until he was adopted. Trike was eventually adopted by his foster mom and is currently living his best life with his new family, including a German Shepherd, where Trike is the boss.
