Five-Legged Cat Down To Three

EIGHTY-FOUR, Pa. A cat born with five legs will soon be a three-legged feline ready for adoption.

The cat, named Babygirl, will undergo surgery today near Pittsburgh to remove the extra leg and the crippled rear left leg to which it is attached.

The Washington Area Humane Society is caring for the cat.

Officials there say Babygirl will be fine with just three legs. The cost of the $1,600 surgery will be paid for by donations.

After surgery, the humane society will place Babygirl in foster care over the weekend or early next week.

The humane society also will review applications from about 50 people who want to adopt the cat.

A woman brought babygirl to the Washington Area Humane Society on Jan. 19.
