Kitten beaten, left for dead survives surgery

MADISON COUNTY, KY (WAVE) – A 3-month-old kitten who was nearly beaten to death has survived a four hour surgery.

The kitten, named Lucky, had two broken front legs and other injuries after he was slammed to the ground, chocked and hit with a golf club.

Rocky Alexander said he found the kitten that was left for dead. The person who told Alexander what happened to Lucky would not talk to police, so currently the suspected animal abuser is not facing any charges.

The doctors who performed surgery on Lucky said his legs should heal but his blood count is extremely low. If it drops lower he may need a blood transfusion.

Alexander had enough money to put a down payment on Lucky's surgery, but the entire bill is expected to run about $4,500.

Anyone who would like to help the kitten through a PayPal account, contact Alexander via his Facebook page. The Barnes Mill Road Veterinary Hospital will also accept donations for the care of the kitten.
