I am writing on behalf of my auntie who has a injured cat in her garden with a open wound that's infected. The cat seems to come in the evening for food and is very timid to catch. She has contacted her local vet who have told her to just
bring him. The cat is really distressed and has puss b flies buzzing around his wound the skin seems to be taken off completely.
She has also contacted RSPCA who have offered to pay for the bill if she managed to bring him in. He is a feral cat that comes to eat in evening around 10pm as she goes to work in morning she does not know how to go about helping him.
I would be extremely grateful if you could offer some help as the animal is in distress and seems to be in extreme pain.
This is the cat and you can see his neck wounds in the photos...
Despite an urgent ringing round of Dewsbury Rescues it took several days before someone would take the cat on, knowing there are vets bills to pay and possible long term care. Lucky he was caught on Friday and taken to the vets, but would then end up being euthanized if no-on came to claim him or a foster stepped up. Sally, from FCW stepped in and it was arranged that the cat would go to a carer in Dewsbury short-terms as she is swamped with kittens, with more due, and FCW would arrange to have him collected.
This is where I stepped in, and went to Dewsbury on Monday, collected the cat - his wound is huge, it is drying up, but to big to be stitched, so not sure what the prognosis is going to be - and took him across to Baildon vets to stay whilst FCW sort out what we can do with him long term. The traffic was horrendous and what should have been an hour and 40 minute trips end up being just shy of 3 hours. Anyway the little fella was as good as gold in the car, no meowing, no scrabbling to get free, it was almost as though he had resigned himself to his fate.
I might need to take him from Baildon to a fosters later this week... will let you know what happens.
