Two B.C. kittens need support from cat lovers after separate falls from high rise buildings.

The BC SPCA is seeking donations for Jersey, a three-month-old black and white kitten who was unable to stand on his front legs after falling from a fourth-floor balcony.

Unfortunately, Jersey鈥檚 family couldn鈥檛 afford the cost of surgery he required, so he was surrendered to the Victoria branch.

Jersey received emergency hospitalization but during surgery, the SPCA realized his little right front leg was fractured beyond repair and would need to be amputated.

Now bandaged up and in recovery, Jersey is learning to 鈥渨alk as a tripod鈥� and is described as a 鈥渢ough little kitten who will absolutely adapt.鈥�

The little survivor will be neutered and ready to find his 鈥渇ur-ever鈥� home in about two months. But in the meantime, he is in need of ongoing care including surgery, medication, treatment, regular health checks and daily care.

Meanwhile, four-month-old kitten Toast fell five storeys from the window of his Vancouver home and required a femoral head and neck excision for pain relief and restoration of function 鈥� a procedure that costs more than $3,000.

Despite the pain he is in, little Toast still enjoys cuddles and 鈥減urrs non-stop.鈥� He will be ready for his 鈥渇ur-ever鈥� home once he recovers.

Donations for the kittens can be made at . The SPCA notes that if medical costs come out less than the amount raised, the additional money will provide care for other animals.
