Just returned back to the mother in laws in Russia ,
to find we have an additonal guest , a black kitten probably only 6 months old ?

The sad thing is its obviously been in an accident its left front paw and the whole leg has been crushed , looks like its been run over , the other cats 2 female and 1 male seem to have accepted it , gave the poor thing some food and it was eating like it was going out of fashion , it does not appear to be in any pain ,and shuffles along and purs when stroked no idea how old the injuries are ?,

wife put the kitten into a cat basket and took it to the local vet , trouble is this is in a remote village in Siberia, vet couldn\t and wouldn't do anything !!, no x ray equipment suggested visiting the next town , thats 300km away !! and i'm at work ,

going to see if theres any chance of getting the kitten to the vet , although Russia is not reknown for its sympathy for injured animals

If s/he is purring and eating and next to no chance of a vet, I'd go for TLC and a watchful eye out for often well disguised pain signs.

Is it bleeding at all, or weeping gunk or anything?
no viable cuts but the leg looks as though its been flattened , its dragging the leg other than that it seems fine , its getting lots of TLC from the wife

thanks
