I promise that should the owner give me the adorable 6 legged kitten, I will love it, and pet it, and feed it, and call him George….

The adorable lil bugger, known as “Hex,” (which is a bad-ass name for a cat, six-legged or otherwise) was born as a conjoined twin that fused together in mamma cat’s womb. Now the owner is trying to raise money so that Hex can have surgery to remove the extra legs.
The vets say Hex will need surgery to remove the duplicate lower legs and intestinal surgery to remove the part of the colon which is duplicated.
The surgery needed to remove Hex’s duplicate hind legs will cost anywhere from $24-hundred to $3-thousand. Hex’s family say that amount is going to be difficult for them to manage.
WHAT?! This is fucking lame on so many levels!
First off,who would wanna ruin a perfectly good six-legged cat? In some Hindu villages, that shit would go over like it was heaven-sent…not to mix religious metaphors, but you know what I mean. Maybe the world needs a six-legged cat. I know I do. I will gladly take the kitten and raise it as my own to save its extra two legs.
Furthermore, who thinks it’s a good idea to pay for surgery for a cat? When human beings in dire need of medical care can’t even afford it? Spend $3,000 on a cat? What kind of misanthrope would do that?
CATS MAKE THOUSANDS OF NEW CATS EVERY DAY. Many of them end up in animal shelters, or as strays. There are plenty more. Here’s an idea: get another one. And leave poor Hex alone.
I mean, perhaps Hex having 6 legs is life threatening, but I say let fate decide if Hex was meant for this world.

Hey - have a look at the picture. That is NOT two extra legs…it is half a kitten that didn’t develop - the legs don’t even work.
Likely some of the organs in the tummy area are joined together, and would have to be separated very carefully. A lot of the cost would be x-rays and scans. With a kitten that age, you have to be very careful.
Vets have said she will likely die without surgery - so unfortunately, she would die in your care.
Yes there ARE too many kittens and puppies. Join up with the Spay and Neuter education program in your area. It can make a huge difference.
