Dwight Learns to Play

Dwight was a feral cat up until Christmas 2019 when he showed up on my porch with a terrible leg injury. I was able to trap him and rush him to a vet. He ended up requiring an amputation. Since then, he's recovered well and is learning how to get around on three legs. I've been working with him to try to socialize him so that I can find a good home for him. It has required some patience - through most of January, all he did was hide from me - but now he's making great progress!
