I just don't see it as a reason if the cat is kept indoors. I could see it
as a problem for an outdoor cat but most rescues do not adopt without an
indoor clause. The cat dose not look like a kitten and if it has lived all
this time with those limbs, while living outside, then it's plainly a
cosmetic thing. The limbs did not look that bad nor did they look dead,
dying or hairless The cat even looked well groomed. The cat already will be
adopted out with special needs so why not leave its limbs, even extras,
intact?.
