Cat Born Without Leg Bones Gets Operation Thanks to Facebook Donors
A 4-month-old kitten in Scotland born without bones in his front legs, will be able to get surgery for his rare genetic condition, the insertion of metal pins into his legs, thanks to a successful fundraising effort from cat lovers on Facebook.

Harvey, a 4-month-old kitten in Scotland born without bones in his front legs, is happy and healthy. But while his rare genetic condition could lead to spinal problems and other health issues later in life, the preventive surgery is expensive.

Doctors, however, will now be able to go ahead and insert metal pins into Harvey's legs thanks to a successful fundraising effort from cat lovers on Facebook.

The Scottish animal welfare group, Cats Protection, raised £3000 in one day.
