WHY YOU SHOULD DONATE

Gabriel

 

In December 2007 a kitten with horrific burns was found by a rubbish skip. The RSPCA was called and the kitten immediately taken to a vet for emergency treatment. This little kitten was, from the outset, a fighter. He had a personality that charmed you straight away. The trusting way in which he would look at you, and his response to a gentle caress were beguiling. The injuries were some of the worst we had witnessed but, with intensive nursing it was hoped that he would make a good recovery. Despite high levels of pain relief he was in a great deal of discomfort but he enjoyed lying upside down in your arms having his tummy rubbed.

On January 3rd 2008 we lost the battle to save this brave little cat. Those that met and cared for Gabriel were deeply affected by him. It was a very disturbing case and so touching to witness how an animal that had been so abused could still respond with such trust.
