Christmas gift: cat with two broken legs crawls home

It’s Christmas. We gotta post something heartwarming. So here’s the story of a cat named Giggle-Blizzard, as reported by tampabay.com. WILL VRAGOVIC | Times He belongs to Tracie Steger of Spring Hill and disappeared on Nov. 15. Steger searched for hours in the dark. She put up LOST KITTY signs. Neighborhood kids handed out fliers. People walked the neighborhood, calling out the cat’s name. A little girl across the street told Steger she saw a car hit a cat and drive off. It had a gray coat. Steger winced. Another day Steger saw whiskers between the teeth of a hungry vulture. She scared it off and saved a kitten that wasn’t Giggle-Blizzard. On Thanksgiving night, they heard something yelping on the porch. There was a bedraggled Giggle-Blizzard, for

the first time in 11 days. His back legs were smashed. He had been hit by a car. The doctors said he had walked around like that for almost a week. After two surgeries — and $3,000 in vet bills — Giggle-Blizzard now mopes about with Christmas-colored splints on his hind legs. He will have them on at least another month. Steger is ecstatic. “If they know they are loved . . . it may be just enough to bring them home to you.” More FloriDUH Update from FloriDUH headquarters: Because the Spam bot is such a pest, it’s taking longer for yourFlorida to post.
