Back in November, I got a note from Karen about an injured kitten:
Red Lake Rosie's Rescue took in a kitten-- I call it Peanut as I am not sure if a boy or girl. This poor little kitten came from a place where the dog attacked her and has hurt her little leg and foot. Actually both feet are bitten. The woman who rescued her told me she has been repeatedly been bitten.
This poor little one has a strong will to live, as I got the call last week and I told them to bring her--but they didn't. When she finally came in last night her leg was badly infected. We are off to the vet today to get her help.
We know there are a lot of healthy cats and kittens out there, and we know we do not have any funds left in our medical account, but this little one deserves help. She will be needing vet care and special litter so it won't clump up on her wounds. Maybe there is someone out there who wants to help little Peanut?
Peace- Karen
UPDATE:
Peanut is resting peacefully under anesthesia. The good news is there are no broken bones, and the vet dressed the wounds and gave antibiotics. We got her the soft litter and the vet said she should heal fine and the hair will grow back eventually. She is back at the shelter.
So--no amputation necessary!! Hurray for Peanut!! And now Feline Rescue has agreed to take her in and continue her care.

UPDATE FROM ME TO KAREN:
BTW--Just checked on Peanut. SHE is a big hit at the vet's office. She will stay there for a week or two getting a bandage change daily until the wound is healed over. The vet took her home last night and plans to take her home for the weekend, too. The Feline Rescue foster coordinator Cathy Harrington was smitten with her, too. She had a foster home waiting for her, but the vet decided to foster her at her house. A lucky kitten!

Panda Bear [fka Peanut]
came to Feline Rescue ill and injured. She is doing wonderfully now in her foster home and has made a full recovery. Panda is ready to find her purrrfect family. [She was adopted March 4.]
FOSTER MOM TO ADOPTIVE HOME:
Just checking to see how things are going with Panda? I assume the two cats are getting along together and probably more than doubling the trouble around the place but I guess that's what kittens are supposed to do! ADOPTIVE HOME TO FOSTER MOM:
Things have been going great with Panda. She's very well adjusted here and happy to have another cat as a playmate. No problems whatsoever. She even has a favorite chair to sleep in.
ADOPTER UPDATE:
June's two petite sisters, May & July, with the same coloring, but short hair, might still be waiting for homes at Feline Rescue shelter!

UPDATE FROM ME TO KAREN:
Phoenix (formerly Otis) continues to do great in his foster home. Here are photos when we went to see Dr. Vicki to get his splint changed. 
Phoenix has apparently found his voice and now likes to howl ... in the words of his foster "His howl is great- it starts off as a loon and then progresses into a bull elephant. Yes, we have a zoo here!!"
He is such a sweetheart and is winning the hearts of everyone he meets ;-)
I think it is absolutely priceless...
