Found cat Anonymous
I found a stray that I plan to keep (name is Snacks) he's got a few problems though, its as if someone ran over him. he has a broken or dislocated leg (pic) and a broken tail link, no bone is spiking out so thats good, he also has this incessant purring that resembles a loud snore. its sunday now and no vet is open, any suggestions. and also how much am I looking at spending on the vet visit?

The cat is probably purring so loud because it is hurt. Cats do that. And the most amazing thing is that the frequency of the purring helps them alleviate the pain and speed healing. I'm not kidding, this stuff is for real.

Right now I think it's best you try to keep the cat as comfortable as possible until you can get it to a vet. Since I have no idea where you live (not even the country) it's hard to tell how much it might cost. Be prepared.

op here

thanks for the help on the purring part, he's being kept in a warm home in central texas I gave him 2 baths and put some flea killing drops on him , he's now sleeping at my feet and the purring stops when he sleeps. I try to baby him and keep him from moving too much.

i forgot to mention the leg is broken/dislocated at the hip

If you really care for the animal, money isn't an object, otherwise... You're looking toward putting him down.

quick update on snacks.

took him to the vet, he said he had muscle atrophy on the leg, practically all the muscle is gone. unless we can build some muscle on that leg in a month he will have to be amputated.

so far just today we were able to build some muscle, and as though he can understand well that he needs to use that leg more he has started to walk on it rather than drag it.

any suggestion on how I can help Snacks build muscle?

if the vet said anything, do that.

atrophy? interesting.

i guess just encourage him to walk around a little, let him expore the house, things like that. the last thing you want if for amputation. then he'll have hundreds more problems than he needs too. building that leg up will take a huge effort on his part but it will be well worth it...

maybe like some protein supplements? i dunno much about vitamins for cats, but this could help. i'd fond some toys her can play w/, catnip ice, feathers on sticks, etc. if he plays he can build muscle.
good luck OP.
even w/ amputation, he should still live a happy life.

"as a rule, animals have three legs and a spare". From some older vet text I have. Funny, and true.

Don't do it too much, as it might end up being cruel at a point, but try luring him around with food and treats. If he wants it bad enough he'll make his way to you. Might be a good way to get him to do a bit of exercise.

Of course, keep feeding him regularly.

OP, try making him walk on sand or in a bathtub while you hold him and watch over, it's easier and safer for him. Luck with the cat...

my cat gave birth to a kitten that had simialr legs. they jutted out like fins, earning it the name...Fins. Anyway I used to take it out of the box and it'd crawl around and meow and i kept doing that and make sure it walked around a lot and it eventually got strength in its legs and was fine. Since your cat is older than the kitten was, try toys. Simple things like string works, as long as you have the cat moving around to chase it. You can also gently massage the leg, and move it back and fourth GENTLY never be too rough. I'm so proud of you for what you did, you truly are a great person. Good luck with Snacks :)
