Boots was saved from euthanasia at just 10 days old, when she was dumped at the animal shelter with horrific injuries.

She had to be bottle fed for a month until she was able to eat on her own, and then amazingly managed to learn to walk using house slippers - made by OrthoPets in Denver, Colorado.

Vets have confirmed that someone had amputated the kitten's feet, and this had been done is such a way that meant the nerve endings were exposed and raw.

Standing tall

As she grows, gains weight and tries to walk, she is in pain on the exposed nubs. She desperately needs surgery to clean up the ends of the legs and get her fitted with proper prosthetics.

OrthoPets have outlined a plan which will enable Boots to live a pain-free life and function normally, but the cost is over six thousand dollars.
