Overview
- MSPCA-Angell’s law enforcement team brought the roughly 1-year-old cat, now named Mazy, to the Boston hospital on Monday about three days after her fall and opened an investigation into how it happened.
- Veterinarians say both front legs are broken and one lung collapsed, and staff observed she had been moving by balancing on her hind legs.
- Mazy remains in supportive care ahead of complex surgery scheduled for Friday to repair her forelimbs and address the lung injury.
- After surgery, the plan calls for a move to foster care for recovery, and doctors note cats with similar injuries often adapt well even if they walk a bit differently.
- The nonprofit estimates care will cost up to $15,000 and is asking for public donations at mspca.org/mazy.
