(Update)Rescue needed!Decatur,GA Kitten cannot use back legs

[Terra]

We were contacted by Dekalb County Animal Services to help a black and white kitten that came in.
The shelter says he does not have use of his back legs. They are desperately seeking immediate
rescue for this poor baby. Please cross post and send to contacts.
The shelter will be sending a picture.


UPDATE

The shelter says this little baby is starting to stand and walk but still shaky on his back legs.
He is able to use the litter box.

Karen,

I am emailing the shelter right now.

[Christine]

I just got an answer.

This kitten is still at the shelter. He is still in need of rescue or adoption.

Jamie also said the little kitten is able to use his legs more and seems to be improving with time. Maybe this little one had been hit by a car or injured some how and will eventually be able to use the legs as a normal kitty would.
Here is another cute picture!

Would there be any way to get help transporting him to Virginia?

[Christine]

I am in Helen, GA and directionally challenged, but I would definitely help.

I have been asking about this kitty and as of yesterday it seems that he can walk, but his back legs are weak. The latest on him is available on that Shelter's website(Dekalb County Animal Services, in Decatur, GA). I had also been following a kitten who needs rescue in Fla and am thinking this adorable little guy in GA might be easier to find a home for than the other one. Obviously I'm torn ... Is there any one else out there interested in one of these?

We have sponsored the kitty at Dekalb for $ 100 to help pay for his vetting. I think we may have a
rescue here in Atlanta that might take him. If the one in FL needs more help, please help that one if he is
in more need.

This baby has been rescued today!

[MissWhiskers]

Terra,
Is he adopted or taken in by a rescue group?
Thank you,

Karen

Karen,
I just emailed the shelter and asked.

[Christine]

I called the shelter and left a message as I did not receive an answer to my email. (Probably off for Thanksgiving.)
