Shelter cat was set to have her leg amputated in Texas — then a miracle happened
A cat in the Lone Star State is out to prove that miracles do, in fact, exist, after she was blessed with one, a Texas shelter said.
When she was adopted from the SPCA, Cheesecake was only a kitten. Now, at 3 years old, she was rehomed and discovered outside a Cheesecake Factory (hence her name). Only, this time, the sweet cat was found with a dire injury.
“Somehow I ended up outside The Cheesecake Factory with a severely injured right front leg. The vet was certain my leg would have to be amputated,” the South Plains SPCA in Lubbock said in a Oct. 21 Facebook post.
“I was on strict cage rest for two weeks waiting for surgery.”
However, 48 hours before Cheesecake was set to have surgery, something happened that no one can explain.
“Two days before my surgery I could miraculously walk again,” the shelter said. “The vet was amazed and has never seen an injury like mine heal like this in 20 years of practice. I can walk, climb, scratch, and play on all four feet.”
Now, the sassy girl is ready to settle down in a forever home with a loving family.
“I am super friendly and great with kids. Cats are not my favorite though,” the Facebook post said. “I would be most comfortable if I can be the only cat.”
Cheesecake is now an indoor cat since the outside has proven to be a sore spot for her, so it’s better if she avoids it.

Lubbock is in northwest Texas, about 70 miles from the New Mexico border.
