Story

Clover was shot twice with an air gun and now needs surgery.

Clover, a four-year-old black cat, was shot once in the muscle of her spine and again in her front right leg causing a fracture.

Bredhurst Adoption Centre is now desperately appealing for help to cover the costs of having Clover’s leg amputated and the other pellet removed, treatment costing upward of £1,200.

Clover is incredibly lucky to have survived not one but two shots, hence why we named her Clover. She is such a sweet natured girl and it is appalling that she has been treated this way.

Clover is set to make a full recovery from her ordeal and, we are sure you will agree, deserves the very best after what she has been through. Any contribution to her appeal, large or small. Will go a long way to help us care for Clover.

Sadly Clover’s ordeal is not a one off and Cats Protection’s petition calling on the Government to introduce the licensing of air guns in England and Wales has now gathered over 115,000 signatures. The Government launched a review into air weapons legislation in October 2017, including a consultation which concluded on 6 February 2018, but have still not reported their next steps.

Any money raised beyond Clover’s Just Giving appeal will be used to help other cats and kittens in our care at Bredhurst Adoption Centre.
