Three domestic shorthair cats with a median age of 4.2 yr were presented for partial foot amputation between 2010 and 2022. Neoplasia was the indication for partial foot amputation in two cats; one cat underwent partial foot amputation for treatment of a chronic wound. All cats underwent lateral partial foot amputation (excision of digits 4\u20135) of a thoracic limb. One cat had excisions at the level of the metacarpal\u2013phalangeal joint, and two cats had excision at the level of the distal metacarpal bone. No cats experienced surgical complications intraoperatively. All cats achieved resolution of lameness postoperatively at a median duration of 28 days, although one cat experienced a long-term grade 1 complication associated with a wound that developed where weight bearing occurred. Lateral partial foot amputation of a thoracic limb was overall well tolerated in these three cats, with favorable long-term functional outcomes and manageable complications. Results support the role of partial foot amputation as a viable limb-sparing option in cats, although additional data are needed to assess outcomes for other partial foot amputation locations (medial, central, and pelvic limb) in cats.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-7568","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,11]],"date-time":"2026-07-11T00:30:53Z","timestamp":1783729853000},"page":"183-186","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Outcomes Following Partial Foot Amputation in Three Cats"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Maureen A.","family":"Griffin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Clinical Sciences and Advanced Medicine, University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, Philadelphia, PA (M.A.G., A.M.M.); and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alysha M.","family":"McGrath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Clinical Sciences and Advanced Medicine, University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, Philadelphia, PA (M.A.G., A.M.M.); and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William T.N.","family":"Culp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences, University of California-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, Davis, CA (W.T.N.C., C.C.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Celeste","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgical and Radiological Sciences, University of California-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, Davis, CA (W.T.N.C., C.C.)."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"i1547-3317-62-4-183-b1","series-title":"Vet Pathol","first-page":"362","article-title":"Diagnoses and clinical outcomes associated with surgically amputated feline digits submitted to multiple veterinary diagnostic laboratories","volume":"44","author":"Wobeser","year":"2007","unstructured":"Wobeser B, Kidney B, Powers B,  Diagnoses and clinical outcomes associated with surgically amputated feline digits submitted to multiple veterinary diagnostic laboratories.
