Fran Oborski, a district councillor from Kidderminster, faced leg amputation after a scratch from a stray cat named Jaffa led to severe complications. Initially, her wound developed cellulitis and ulcers, which worsened due to an allergy to dressings. Despite undergoing two years of treatment, she opted for amputation when informed about inevitable leg loss. Oborski continues to care for Jaffa, emphasizing no ill feelings towards the cat, while cautioning others to seek prompt medical care for infections.
