Raising funds for veterinary treatment for Monty for Cats
Protection because he has been very poorly and needs our help.

Ten year old Monty was brought into the care of Cats Protection in April as a stray with a cat bite abscess on his leg.  Monty went on a course of antibiotics and pain relief and although his leg looked as if it had healed he continued to limp and have some swelling.  Sadly the
medication wasn’t working for him.

Although Monty tried to be tough and hide his pain we could
see how uncomfortable he was on that leg so we took some x-rays to see if there was anything else going on.

Sadly, the cat bite abscess had been left untreated for so
long before he came to the Cats Protection the bone was infected and deteriorating away.  After consultation with our vets, it was decided that the best treatment for Monty was to remove the infected leg and give him time to heal and recuperate.  Monty also needed some dental work as several of his teeth were broken and painful.

We are delighted to say that following his operation Monty
is healing really quickly and adapting to life on three legs.  We are so pleased that once fully recovered Monty will no longer be in pain and will be able to live a happy and healthy life. We can’t wait to find him a good furr-ever home and are extremely grateful to our amazing vets and cat care team for all their support and excellent professional care at this difficult time.

As you can imagine, an operation such as a leg amputation, the dental work, along with the day to day care, Monty's needs can cost a
significant amount for our charity.  In this instance, it has cost nearly £1000 to treat and care for Monty.

Cats Protection received no government funding, therefore we
rely solely on the donations of kind supporters to ensure cats like Monty get the best chance in life.  We never put a healthy cat to sleep and Monty now has a happy life ahead of him when we are able to find him a new home.  We would very much appreciate any donation you feel you can give to the Harrow Homing Centre for Monty’s care.  Every Penny helps.

Any funds raised above and beyond our target will be used to
help other cats and kittens in our care at the Harrow Homing Centre.
