Arsenal, where she works, and run up a $65 veterinarian's bill seen food for a long time," she recalled. She took him back to her apartment that night, where she already has another cat and a dog, and once again the kitten ate like there was no tomorrow. "The rest of the time he just sat there and purred, and when morning came he seemed to be in a rather playful mood," Lynn said. Before leaving for work, she made an appointment with a veterinarian and took the kitten, whom she had name "Crypto" in for an examination when she finished work. There she was informed that there were just two options available to her either have the kitten put to sleep or have the foot amputated.

Since she felt that she "just didn't have the right to have him put to sleep," Lynn OK'd the amputation. However, after soaking the foot, it's been decided that at the most, the kitten may lose just two toes. This, of course, makes Lynn happy since she's fallen for this little ball of furr that owes his life to her, but it presents another problem the kitten's original owners. Lynn's resigned herself to the fact that the owners can have their kitten back if they'll pay the vet's bill, but after the treatment they gave the kitten in the first place, it's doubtful they'll make themselves known. Despite all the money she'll spend on the expensive kitten, Lynn hopes no one will take him because "I'd just love to keep him, his life is worth $65." THANK YOU We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation for the many acts ol thoughtfullness extended to us at the loss of our loved one.
