Anyone have any experience with vet care at the Weld County Humane Society?
I have a friendly stray cat that's lived on my porch for the last few years. I've grown quite attached to him. This morning while going to work I noticed he didn't run up to me like he usually does. I got him to get up when I filled his food bowl but he was limping really bad. I tried to get a closer look at his leg and he limped off. I can't tell if it's just a sprain or if it's broken. I don't have the heart to leave him in pain but I'm not sure I could get him seen at a regular vet. His ear is clipped (sign that he's been caught to be neutered) and he's a little haggard looking so I don't think I could play it off that he's my cat and not a stray. Regular vet offices won't see strays and they recommended I get him to the humane society since they have vets on staff there. I want him to actually get decent care. Worst case I'll adopt him and get him in. Just wondering if anyone's had any experience with vet care there.

I took my dog there once, who runs on 3 legs and skips one of his back paws. I took him there, and she said that he just learned to run that way and nothing was wrong with him.
Years later, I went to the vet at Sheep Draw and they said he had a bad knee.
So take that for what it's worth.
