            This handsome guy is our special little Simeon BeBop.  He is a unique little "tri-pawed" boy who lost his back left leg at the young age of 6 weeks. He had been left hanging on a privacy fence for possibly two days by people who despised cats.  His leg was very badly damaged (gangrene had set in) and it had to be removed.

             
             

               

            At 8 weeks, however, he was well on the mend - "bebopping" (thus, his nickname) all over the house, even up the stairs without hesitation!  With the help and love of a very special vet, lots of prayers from our cat-loving family and friends, and an amazing inner strength, little BeBop healed quickly and has made an amazing recovery.

            Cat of the Day - June 5, 2002

            Today, you'd never know he's short a leg, and believe me, he doesn't know it either!  He knows he's purrrrrfect!
            The three legs he does have are extremely strong, and his tail is his very exquisite balancing too
