A cat whose paw was somehow ripped off is recovering.

  (Photo courtesy of News 4)  "Simon" was discovered near the El Dorado subdivision by a Good Samaritan, who then took the injured feline to the Animal Defense League for treatment.   That person believes the cat was tossed from a car.

The Animal Defense League team is in the process of stabilizing Simon, who is now on high doses of antibiotics.  A spokesperson for the Animal Defense League said Simon's leg will have to be amputated.

"He should do absolutely fine and be available for adoption in a month or so," explained Ron Aaron, Executive Director of the Animal Defense League.
