“Finn was lucky to be alive, but did not escape unscathed. His front right leg was severely broken. The finders took him in, made a makeshift splint and started reaching out to rescues for help,” Caroline Grace, founder of Baby Kitten Rescue, shared.

“When we were contacted about Finn, we immediately agreed to take him into our care.”

Urgently, Finn was transported to an animal hospital. X-rays unveiled a broken humerus bone. Swiftly, Dr. Jacobo at Primary Care Animal Hospital performed emergency surgery.

“Despite Finn only being 3.5 weeks old and 0.6 lb, Dr. Jacobo successfully operated on Finn and pinned his broken leg back together.”

An external fixator was attached to secure the pins (to be removed once healed). Astonishingly, Finn was up and about the day after his discharge, displaying his strength by engaging in play.

Finn, with his fiery spirit, refused to let his size hinder his zest for life. Even as they searched for a fitting cone for him, he faced challenges with unwavering determination.

“We were amazed by how strong and resilient he was after this surgery. He healed so smoothly and within a week was using his leg again.”

The hunt for a suitable cone proved challenging due to Finn’s diminutive stature.

After experimenting with various options, they stumbled upon a brilliant solution—guinea pig cones, which fit him perfectly.
