🐾🐾 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! 🐾🐾

We are most grateful to ASDA at Fenton for their most generous donation of chocolates which will help us to raise much needed funds to help our Waifs and Strays.

Several weeks ago we were happy to pay for the spaying of a feral female cat who was living near to ASDA. She had already reared at least one litter of kittens; fortunately all had been rescued before they too became feral. The last thing this cat wanted, or the people feeding her wanted, was yet more kittens. Thankfully that is not now going to happen.

The next task is to catch two tom cats; they are living in the same place. We will then pay for them to be neutered and returned so that they can live a less stressful life and not play their part in producing yet more unwanted kittens.

Our thanks to Alison for caring about these cats as without her this small colony of cats would have increased out of all proportion. Alison is lovely lady who is making sure that the cats are looked after. How we wish there more people like her.

THANK YOU ASDA AND THANK YOU ALISON! 🐾😊🐶🐯🐯🐶😊

Earlier this week, a young black kitten was taken into Lime Trees Cat Clinic having been caught in a cat trap by a member of the public. Unfortunately she isn't the friendliest of kittens and is very feisty. She will eventually need an outdoor home but until she is old enough to be neutered, she needs somewhere safe to stay. Cheadle Animal Welfare will pay to have her neutered.

So if anybody has experience of looking after feisty kittens, could offer an outdoor home and have somewhere safe she can stay for the next 8 weeks, please call 07761 838918.

OLWYN

While out on his morning walk last Thursday, Guide Dog in Training – Arwen, became very interested in a pile of leaves and soon uncovered a tortoiseshell kitten. She was evidently in a bad way and was promptly taken to Lime Trees Cat Clinic. Little Olwyn was warmed up, put on a drip and given some food. She perked up and seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. Olwyn was transferred to Lime Trees Meir Park Hospital where she was monitored over the weekend. Unfortunately on Monday morning she seemed to be having difficulty breathing. A scan showed that her liver had pushed through her diaghragm into her chest which was affecting her breathing. As there was no external trauma, Vet Bex said that it was probably a congenital condition but there was still a chance for her. Following consultation with Vet Ewa, we agreed to give Olwyn the best chance and to go ahead with a procedure to hopefully “put everything back where it should be”. The procedure would take around two hours and everything was put in place for Monday afternoon. It was a very complicated operation involving a team of five; she had the very best of care.

Sadly Olwyn didn't come round from the anaesthetic but she was breathing on her own, however just after 8pm on Monday evening we received a telephone call to say that Olwyn had stopped breathing and that she hadn’t responded to CPR.

Everyone did their very best for little Olwyn – Arwen who discovered her in the leaves, the fantastic veterinary team at Lime Trees and those of us who were willing her to pull through.
Olwyn wasn’t in our care for long but was so loved and cared for.

As a tribute, Olwyn will take her turn as our Facebook cover photo.

Fly high Olwyn. xx
