Month: September 2016

Today I started the blog to document Trin’s journey to getting a prosthetic leg.

When I first got her about a year ago, I thought about getting Trin a prosthetic leg. At the time she was too young and not fully grown, so I didn’t want to get her one just yet. Also she seemed to be adapting to her tripawd life. A year later and she still tries to use her stub like it is a leg.

My ultimate goal for Trin is to give her stub the needed protection and help her walk without a large limp. I want to volunteer with Trin as a sort of therapy cat for veterans and children with prosthetics and missing limbs. I think that veterans and children would be able to relate to Trin.
