Maggie the cat needs help paying for surgery to fix her leg

A curious cat in East Harlem was severely injured Tuesday after getting her leg caught in an elevator shaft of the bulding where she lived with her owner.

After being rescued by emergency service cops Maggie is now in custody of Animal Care & Control, which started a donation fund Tuesday in the hopes of raising enough cash for the $3,000 operation to fix her leg.

Maggie's owner, Primotivo Hernandez is elderly and uses a wheelchair because of diabetes and back pain. Mr. Hernandez is unable to pay for Maggie's surgery but is hopeful he will be able to get the 1-year old shorthaired domestic cat back if enough funds are raised for her care.

If you are able to, kindly make a donation to help save Maggie.
