Story

Bedford & Biggleswade Cats Protection have taken on 2 cases recently, which have seen them with vets bills of over £2,700 in just 2 weeks.

Maud, came in as a stray, with what appeared to be a missing
eye. Further investigation showed that she still had the eye, but it was
necrotising in the socket and needed to be removed. Her bill, to date is
£739.38

The Silsoe kittens came into our care at the age of 3 weeks,
when their mother was sadly killed on a road. We set to the task of handrearing them. However one, Emma, had problems feeding. This resulted in her being admitted to the vets 3 times in a week and a half. The last time for a week, where she spent time in a incubator and on a nebuliser. She is currently unable to eat solids, and needs to remain bottle fed until she is 8 weeks old, when she will then be admitted to see if she is able to eat solid food. To date her bill is £1,521.19

Added to this, Emma's brothers, Colin and Dennis were both
rushed to the vets due to collapsing in their pen for no apparent reason. To date this still remains a mystery. At one point we thought we had completely lost Dennis, but he rallied round and both are now doing well. Their bill, between them, was £465.08

Any assistance that can be given to help the branch with
these non-standard vets costs is greatly appreciated.
