EDIT
Sadly, we have made the devastating decision to say goodbye to this lovely boy today, on welfare grounds. Thank you for all the shares and all the information. We knew deep down yesterday that this would be the outcome but was hoping we could find someone who loved him at some point in his life. More information came to life and we strongly suspect the person he was registered to on the microchip was the same person who left him behind so our search was futile. He went to sleep peacefully in the arms of one of our nurses. Sleep tight little man 💔
Does anyone recognise this lovely boy?
Bit of a long story and at this point we aren’t sure what is accurate information.
He has been looked after by multiple neighbours on Petersmith Drive in Ollerton for a number of years after his supposed owners moved away and left him. He has been brought into us today as one of his carers noticed marked weight loss and seemed to be struggling to breath.
Upon examination he has a tumour on/in his neck/throat. However, he is bright as a button and eating like he hasn’t seen food for a long time! (Although he can’t eat very easily)
Despite the history, he is actually microchipped but the one number registered doesn’t appear to be working.
The chip says he is called Frankie and is 10 years old. The chip is registered to initials Miss K G in Beeston (Nottinghamshire) which obviously isn’t local to Ollerton.
We aren’t sure how long this boy has left to live and we are appealing to the powers of social media to try and locate his owner, or perhaps a previous owner and chip details haven’t been updated. If he is or has been someone’s much loved pet (obviously not the person who supposedly abandoned him) then we would love to trace them before making any decisions on his future. He is currently struggling but we have made him comfortable with pain relief, lots of sloppy food and a warm bed. If we can save him of course we will but neither are we willing to let him suffer. We will feel more at peace making a potentially difficult decision if we have tried our best to locate a hopefully loving home.
Please note any negative comments will not be tolerated, I’ll just block you. We have never and will never put an animal to sleep just because it’s convenient, not that I should have to explain this but sadly from past post experiences I do.
Thank you in advance for any shares and/or useful information.
