LAKE WORTH, Fla. - Veterinarians had to amputate the leg of one of two kittens found tied to a boat last week.

Officials from Paws 2 Help say they removed the leg of 'Sinbad' because of infection. Doctors still don't know if the leg of the other kitten named, 'Sailor', can be saved.

It remains unclear whether 'Sinbad' and 'Sailor' were intentionally tied to a boat or if they got tangled in some lines. Animal care and control is still investigating.

If you would like to help, call Paws 2 help at 561-712-1911 or visit its website.
