- I could use some recommendations for a local Veterinarian, we found an adult cat around our house that appears to have a fractured/broken leg, maybe a terrible sprain, not sure, I just know he cannot walk on it, probably will need x-rays, he seems
like a good cat and there's no way I can leave him outside, he is inside with us and is fed, resting and as comfortable as I can make him. Please… (Nextdoor Greenbriarwillowbrook) - Looking to re home this female cat due to allergies and severe asthma.
She super friendly and loving, and very affectionate. If anyone is interested please notify me. (Nextdoor Leeland Heights)
