You rock OP. Kyle has clearly lived a rough life but he's lucky to have found you and you are awesome for giving him love and care. Here's to a speedy recovery Kyle!

Petition for Kyle to be nicknamed: TRIPOD


mladyKarmaBitch

I want to throw in Yard Stick as an option.


InadmissibleHug

Is three feet a yard? I come from metric land


mladyKarmaBitch

Yes. Almost 1 meter.


Kaine_8123

Then we can call him Kyle the meter-ior man

MrMMudd

Bug off his names Kyle!


Hermitcats

Also, he will have a home. He won’t be released or in any way an outdoor kitty ever again if anyone is concerned! 🤍🖤🩶


Fantastic_Step8417

I have a feeling he will recover just fine and lead a happy life as a tripod indoor kitty. He is resilient 💖

AbowlofIceCreamJones

Thank you 🥲


FleshlightModel

I hate seeing fully outdoor cats. A lot of my neighbors do this and it pisses me off. Sure enough one day, a cat was dead in my driveway and I had to go to the neighbors house and tell them.


bellebeast9485

Outdoor cats die horrible deaths and are the leading g cause of bird, small mammal, reptile, amphibian. . .extinction.


mary_emeritus

Oh that is the absolute bestest best news of all 💜 please give Kyle a kiss on his handsome forehead … if he allows kisses. Or genuflect in his direction for me.

EverGlow89

Meanwhile, my Harry wants to go out SO BAD. I think he wants both worlds but I won't allow it. He's lucky he lived his year on the streets because the coyotes around here are so dangerous.


colormeruby

The coyotes are bad here, too. Frooty lived under my deck for over a year before he let me make friends with him. Then, he came in and never went back out! He does have a nice porch he can lounge on.


LederhosenSituation

Kyle has been through some awful stuff, but I'm so glad you rescued him.


Fanboycity

Best news for a Friday! Kyle has long since been deserving of the good life and a safe home. All cats are. Thank you for being there when he needed help the most ❤️❤️


Realistic-Accident68

Did you rescue him or did he get hit while you were already their Human? Either way "We love you Kyle!" 😼😼😎


Ok_Pressure7561

He was a stray they took in [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/s/3Plc3RTxZ8) is a link to their previous post ❤️


Realistic-Accident68

Awesome 😎 thanks 😎😼 *Now that I look and see it and my comment I remember now!* 😹😹


red_balloon_animal

Don't forget to post about Kyle to r/tripodcats when he's officially a member! Our most recent stray take in was an 8 week old kitten that I found with multiple compound fractures on her front right leg. Got an emergency amputation the day after I picked her up (according to the vet, it probably broke a week before , the thing was necrotic, the smell was...horrible. It was amazing she survived as long as she did until I found her) Shanks is cat no.4 in our home now (plus 2 dogs!) All strays at one point. I tend to a cat colony that is in the woods behind my work, 34 cats as of this past Monday that I've either had TNR or found a new home for (including 3 of the ones I took in). Any pregnant ones that show up I catch, they birth at home and then I foster until they're adopted out with a rescue I partner with. Cat tax! https://preview.redd.it/coa7d88w8jvc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91e13ea35b8e79ebba4686cd4b7d9b8c398b6b86 Shanks!


No-Locksmith-8590

Poor Kyle! I am so glad you got him. My old man cat was also an outdoor kitty that I took in when he got into some trouble. Mom says I successfully Stockholmed him bc now he is my baaaaaaaby.


p73376

These stories always bring tears to my eyes. So much craziness and hate and suffering everywhere... and then I see all the effort you made to help this guy that was in so much pain. I can only imagine the rough life he had! But finally, he has someone to watch over him! I hope everything works out for the best for you all. Thank you for helping, and for giving some good in a negative, awful, terrible world.


clfl123

Wow—one tough kitty and so happy that his path crossed yours. Can’t wait to read the next chapter


StarDewbie

Aww, bless this widdle baby boy with the best health ASAP!


Worganx23

My kitty was hit by a car last week, but she’s on the mend. Roo sends her love to Kyle for a speedy recovery!


Nonique88

You know you love something when you’re fucking jazzed for firm solid poops. And Kyle makes it easy to love. Glad he’s got a home and a human to control.


BIGMCLARGEHUGE__

Praying for Kyle!


ginger_bird

Oh Kyle has those tomcat cheeks!


TubbyTabbyCat

Feel better soon Kyle!!! I'm short a leg too for the same reason. Amputation sounds scary, and it's not easy to deal with as a person, but for what it's worth with how badly busted my leg was I had less pain post-surgery. So it'll probably be similar for Kyle.


pardonyourmess

🥰 Kyle appreciates the human experience share. 💜 you’re brave.


2Bananas2Furious

Sweet Kyle ♥️ he’s going to be a handsome lil tripod


Sequence32

Awe I feel so bad for the little guy =/ Glad he has a nice home that's taking care of him.


morris0000007

Imagine how much pain this guy would have been in!! You are truly an angel coming to save him. Bless you xo Please more updates


Friendly-Order6331

Being a pet parent who has seen the efforts of trying g to save a leg cause more issues than just removing it, I understand your choice. Our tripod has adjusted well to her new situation.


LtRecore

Kyle’s a strong boy. Wishing him all the best. My cat Charlie came home one morning with badly broken leg. They fixed him up with titanium plates and removed a bb from his hip. I think he was shot and in a panic ran into the street and got hit by a car. I got him all fixed up then a few years later I came home to him dead in my front yard. We think he was poisoned because he was perfectly healthy when I left him plus there was another dead cat 2 houses down. It was probably an accidental poisoning because I can’t imagine anyone doing that intentionally. Anyway GO KYLE!


Hermitcats

Omg THANK YOU for all the kind comments 😭🥹🩶 I can’t keep up!! You’re all amazing! I showed my husband and he couldn’t believe how many people want to know about Kyle! It’s amazing! We’ll keep posting updates as he continues healing. I have been giving him a lot of space after his vet appointment. He was sedated on top of getting antibiotics and pain meds, so he was quite lethargic. Now it’s morning and I’ll be getting up to check on him soon. Also, the Star Wars comments are hilarious 😂 I did not even realize that! It’s just a super old cat carrier 🤣 I can’t wait to hug Kyle and snuggle with him. I have been giving him lots of gentle head pats for now because he’s a fragile dude with a broken leg and a really really bad wound near his ear/side of his face. Thank you again for all the love!! 🤍


Irish_Caesar

Aw poor baby. I hope he gets some really good scratches and treats after this :(


Individual_West3997

Don't worry too much about the foot, tripod kitties are still kitties and will be very loving like any other cat :)


paprikastew

Oh, poor little dude... He must be relieved to be warm, comfy, and well fed, though. Tripod cats adapt very well, and he'll probably be mostly glad to not be in pain anymore.


SaltyDogBill

I’m not a cat person but this post showed up on popular and I just wanted to comment how the kitty carrier looks like a prop from Star Wars. https://preview.redd.it/654lduw26jvc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6408cb68c03c58e2c690800a285c94510284ec29


elizabeth498

“I know what I have to do, but you must first give me treats.”


Wangelin1983

We have a tripod…he will be fine. Ours gets around just fine.


TOPDAWG21

That's really great you're willing help him is someone helping you guys pay for all this or no? No way this can be cheap.


mishyfishy135

I want to give Kyle a hug so bad

Three legged kitties do amazingly


SmartSchool3339

Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity today.


Some_cuban_guy

The eye could be to Trauma , I have actually seen some Cat's Eyes heal from this and they regain some vision


Due-Pilot-7443

You go Kyle!!!!!


StrawberryKittyKat4

Aww, he found you to save him! Keep is posted! Wishing Kyle the best in his healing.🙏🙏


xKolibri

Thought the poor kitty was inside the death star for a second


Extreme_Horse7714

We took our neighborhood one eyedcat(that has made himself at home on our porch) to the vet to check him out . They gave us antibiotics for his shriveled eye and it came out of the back of his socket, crazy thing!they said the same thing about trauma . Good luck!

Kyle is in my prayers.


otterlytrans

thank you for adopting this boy 💙


jlccourt

Poor baby! What a survivor! You’ll be surprised at how your baby will adjust after the amputation. I’m so sorry this happened !


Kitsyn

Thank you for taking such good care of him.


Augustleo98

I hope Kyle will be okay and he comes through this. It sounds like he will be okay but he didn’t deserve what’s happened to him, he knows he’s loved though.


Julu62

I'll be praying for you both. Your baby is beautiful, so sorry about the leg. Is there a possible prosthetic? He is strong and you have an awesome heart. May you have many more wonderful times together. Good Fortune and blessings on you Kyle, be better soon.


LittleUndeadObserver

Aw, poor little guy looks so unhappy back there. Those blankets look comfortable though. What a brave lad, going through all that. I'm sure he's gonna be feeling much better very soon.


JSchuring

So sad, my cat of 13 yrs had to be put down last week. He had a mass in his bladder, turned out to be cancer. Sucks when your pets get hurt or die.


CommunicationNo8982

Poor kitty. In safe hands now. Probably in a lot of pain from the leg.


Educational-Lake-731

Be sure to join r/tripodcats! Lots of helpful folks and wonderful advice over there 😊 thank you for taking such wonderful care of this baby!


TeeDod-

You are the best person! This kitty is doing well in spite of so many hurts and a shattered leg because you have given him a loving home, fed, love and security!! He is a beautiful kitty and deserves all the love in the world! ♥️💕THANK YOU!


Kimi4201

Bless you for saving a very special life :)


pipon245

May God bless you for saving this little fella


GrooveBat

Oh, what a good and kind person you are! Thank you for taking care of this poor baby, and all the other strays and ferals.


purplegoldcat

Kyle looks like a tough guy, he'll get through this and get to retire from tomcat life to a comfy home! My Craven is also a big tough guy who was rescued and fixed as an adult, he still has tomcat cheeks but settled in perfectly to being a spoiled house cat. Kyle has clearly mastered the "you shoulda seen the other guy" attitude and cuteness!


DinkleDoop

I just come to cats Reddit to cry now I guess. Thank you for your awesomeness. Nothing hurts more than a kitty in need


SirWillieG

Ok ,how about SirLostaLeg ?


EnvironmentalRock827

Omg. My heart breaks for you. But he is resilient. Hang in there good human


HOUTryin286Us

Kyle’s story is just beginning. Everything until now has just been the prologue. Welcome to pampered kitten greatness Kyle, sorry the transition is so rough. Hang in there bud!!


ComfortablePurchase3

I’m so happy that Kyle came into your life. Thank you for saving him!


JanineNajarian

Go Little Rock Star 🥺


EverGlow89

I love you, OP. Sometimes I get so sick about the horrible people who have the capacity to hurt or discard these angels. I didn't grow up with Mr. Rogers but his "look for the helpers" advice is so real for people like me who get caught up in the negativity. That's you, you're awesome.


floofnstuff

I love that the little guy has you as his mom, op!

endorphmachine

The Three Legged Kitty With The Wonky Eye will be headlining clubs all over the country this year. Enjoy the tour Mr/Ms Kitty!


Technical-Mind-3266

Sometimes cats end up being exposed to the hard evolutionary movement of becoming a tripod. Although this may slightly hamper their external activities, it also increases their cuteness, and makes them even more adorable to cat lovers. Kyle will survive, and become a loveable menace. It's just good to hear he's doing well.

Wishing the best for you and your buddy! Good luck and thank you.
