Cat In Need of help...
Friday 6th November 2020
Yesterday I was contacted by a good friend in a neighbouring village Litton area regarding an injured cat that had been mentioned to her with a neck wound ... I went down with a trap which was set and the cat was caught during the night .. A young feral who was in a poorly state ....in the trap he was quite feisty but that was pure fear .. we managed to transfer him to a cat crusher so it was easier for our vet to sedate him .... his neck wound all around the neck was quite bad indicating that he had been caught around his neck at some time and underneath was showing signs of infection ... his temp was 39.5 so pretty high plus he also had tapeworm and was entire ...
Whilst he was under GA to minimise stress for him we had him neutered, his neck was clipped and cleaned , antibiotics and painkillers .. plus microchipped ... I contacted Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary asking about the possibility of a placement for him to recover and rehome as their facilities are amazing ... Lucinda called me back to offer a space for which we are so grateful ...
Thank you to Yatton Vets (husband & wife team Shaun & Kiera Taylor )for seeing to this young cat at short notice and also to Holly Hedge Animal Sanctuary for taking this young cat in who now has a great chance of moving forward to a happy life .. ( Thank you Lucinda) x
