Calling right now to go pick him up.

Is Ambercat back home or still at the vet ?

It was a "granuloma". It'll be about $5-$700, but wasn't taking any chances.

Good news !

The vet just called - growth is benign, nothing to worry about, and has been removed.

I'll be thinking of your Ambercat, I am sure everything will be fine. Yes, I've talked to my vet about adopting kittens and she will call me when she has rescues. Problem is that they have to be healthy that it is safe for Moritz. I am not forcing to adopt cats as long Moritz is with us but I don't want to miss a good chance when I could get a red cat for example. 😸

Oh me -- huge prayers for Ambercat's successful surgery and recovery!!!

Good you've noticed the lump early enough.

Ambercat has to go for surgery this Thursday. I found a small lump on his left rear leg Friday and brought him to the vet today. She didn't like it -- it's hard and her comment was "It's on the surface, but it feels like it wants to get in there". So better safe than sorry.
