It will be bit trying for the owner to keep the cat quiet with a broken leg. I had to readjust the splint on a broken front leg every day on a three week old kitten. He did recover and the final X-ray showed that the bone did mend, not exactly the way we wanted. He and one of his brother were adopted out together and are happy at their new home. One foot is ever so slightly crooked but he seems to do just fine!!

The broken leg will heal.

The first 24 to 48 hour is crucial if you think the cat has any internal injuries. But as someone said, if the cat returned home, he will most likely recover.

I do sympathize with your deep concern for the cat. I too would be devastated. And you did everything you could far more than most people. We are all very grateful for what you have done, to help locate the owner and trying to find the cat. Lets focus on the positive and wish him a speedy recovery.

peace,
