Cheeto is being admitted into the vets. Hopefully we will know more when they're able to carry out some tests on him. Any donations towards his veterinary bill are much appreciated.

Thank you.

We noticed at around 4am that Cheeto was exhibiting abdominal breathing and was lethargic so we rushed him through to the OOH vets but unfortunately the vet couldn't examine Cheeto, he is semi feral and despite the restrainer carrier he was trying to swipe and bite at them.

The vet did did say he had a smell coming from him, possibly his mouth but without a full examination difficult to tell. Unfortunately due to us being unsure on if he definitely ate it or not they couldn't sedate him due to risk of aspiration. She recommended to bring him home and monitor him without any food and then take him to our usual practice when they open where they'll be able to sedate and examine him and we can find out the cause.

Edit - Playpen has been sorted πŸ–€ we still need donations towards Liquivite and RC food. Thank you πŸΎπŸˆβ€β¬›

Sorry to ask (again!) but we're running low on Liquivite, which is what our latest litter of kittens are currently being fed. They’ve made it very clear that Royal Canin isn’t on the menu for them at the moment! πŸ˜‚πŸΎ

We're also looking at moving these little ones into a bigger space as they're growing so quickly. Unfortunately, the next size up of their current crate is out of stock and doesn't look like it's going to be available for a while if it all, and a metal crate isn't suitable for kittens at their age. We're therefore hoping to get them a playpen that will give them plenty more room to grow, explore and play safely. πŸ–€

We also desperately need tins of Royal Canin Mother & Babycat mousse for our other litter of kittens.

We know it probably feels like we're asking for a lot at the moment, and we're genuinely sorry to keep asking. πŸ’” Unfortunately, caring for so many little lives comes with a never-ending list of essentials, and we can only do what we do thanks to the kindness and generosity of our supporters.

If anyone is able to spare a few pounds towards these supplies, any donations to our PayPal are hugely appreciated, and every single penny really does make a difference to the cats and kittens in our care. πŸΎπŸ–€

Thank you, as always, for continuing to support us and our little rescue. We honestly couldn't do it without you. ❀️
