After two kittens were injured after falling from highrise apartments, the B.C. SPCA is asking the public for assistance following their emergency surgeries.
After falling off a fourth-floor balcony, Jersey the three-month-old kitten was brought to the veterinarian when his family discovered he couldn’t walk, according to a B.C. SPCA news release.
Jersey was then surrendered to the Victoria B.C. SPCA when his family couldn’t afford the cost for the required emergency surgery. The cost of the surgery, where he lost a leg, and pain management is estimated to be $2,000.
