Angell Animal Medical Center treating cat who fell 10 stories

"A young cat who miraculously survived a ten-story fall is receiving medical treatment from staff at Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston, the nonprofit that runs the medical center said. The cat has two broken paws that are "fractured completely away from the bones in her forearms," along with a collapsed lung, Julie Coen, a content creator for MSPCA-Angell, told Boston.com."

"On Monday, a person surrendered their one-year-old cat who had allegedly fallen ten stories from a Greater Boston area apartment building, Coen said. Three days prior to her surrender, the cat - now named Mazy - allegedly fell from an apartment's "15th floor window onto a 5th-floor landing, ultimately plunging nearly ten stories," MSPCA-Angell posted on Instagram."

"Mazy had not received medical attention before she was brought into Angell Animal Medical Center, MSPCA-Angell said. Her owner relinquished Mazy to MSPCA-Angell because they could not provide the proper medical attention for her, the medical center said. After the fall, Mazy had been moving around by standing upright on her back legs with her front legs hoisted in the air, the nonprofit said."

""Cats with similar injuries who receive surgical treatment usually adapt well once they've recovered-they may just walk a bit differently," Dr. Kiko Bracker, Direc Her car is expected to cost up to $15,000, MSPCA-Angell said. The MSPCA is accepting donations to help cover the cost of the medical expenses, the non-profit said."

A one-year-old cat named Mazy was surrendered after allegedly falling from a high apartment window in the Greater Boston area. The fall was described as dropping from about the 15th floor to a 5th-floor landing, nearly ten stories. The cat arrived at Angell Animal Medical Center without prior medical care. She had two forelimb injuries with paws fractured completely away from the bones, along with a collapsed lung. Staff reported she remained affectionate and continued rolling over for belly rubs. Law enforcement is investigating the cause of the fall. Surgery and ongoing care are expected to cost up to $15,000, and donations are being accepted to help cover medical expenses.
