Can you give a home to Kitkat the cat?
Comments |
Donations and a new home are needed for Kitkat the cat after he
used up most of his nine lives.
The 18-month-old black cat suffered a broken leg and chest
injuries after being hit by a car.
He had been missing for four days but managed to find his way
home on three legs and despite having breathing difficulties.
Kitkat was stabilised at an emergency clinic overnight and then
taken to the Eureka Veterinary Centre in Eureka Place, off Trinity
Road. As the cat’s owner was unable to pay for surgery the centre
staff decided to temporarily adopt him and donated money to pay for
the operation to fix his fractured leg last Tuesday.
Vet Margaret Cnatalska said: “Kitkat’s life was hanging in
the balance as the only option we had left was to put him to
sleep.
“We decided that this fantastic cat deserved another chance in
life and we took responsibility for him.
“The practice and staff have already donated some money to
Kitkat’s operation but we are still trying to raise more funds and
we are looking for a loving new home for this wonderful
character.
“Without more help and surgery Kitkat will be in constant pain
and we will be left with no options other than to euthanise
him.”
She added: “He is a fantastic cat. He’s got a very nice loving
character and he is always on his back asking for cuddles.
“He is very good with children but we don’t know how he is with
other cats or dogs so ideally we’d like him to go to a family with
no other pets.”
Anyone interested in making a donation or adopting
Kitkat can call the centre on 01233 611071.
