Hello from your favourite out and about reporter at the Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre, Hulky Bear.
In my article this time I wanted to share with you the story of a sweet male cat called Comett. Comett arrived at The Centre at the beginning of January after we received a call from a vets who had been treating him. Unfortunately, his owners had become overwhelmed and could no longer afford his treatment, they had made the difficult decision to have him euthanised but luckily the vets felt he would have a chance with us. Comett arrived with a very poorly eye, it had completely changed colour, was so weepy and Comett struggled to keep it open. The vets who brought him into us suspected that he had ulcers, inflammation and a corneal sequestrum, which happens when part of the cornea that has died off is then rejected by the healthy cornea. Our vet nurse and animal care team worked tirelessly every step of the way to make sure that that he received his eye drops six times a day. Poor Comett did not love his eye drops but he took them so bravely, although his eye affected him my staff could see he was such a sweet boy.
A few weeks on and Comett’s eye has now improved dramatically. With continued medication and TLC I hope he will soon be well enough to find his forever home. It is with thanks to donations from our supporters that we are able to continue to help animals like Comett who need that extra veterinary care.
Love Hulky

PETS OF THE MONTH
Lady Alice and Pacific Rose
This time we would love to introduce you to a very sweet pair of female guinea pigs. Lady Alice and Pacific Rose are 7 years young and looking to find their retirement home together. They arrived at The Centre back in January as their owner had developed allergies and could no longer keep them. They can be a little shy when you first meet them but once safe on your lap they do enjoy a cuddle. These two are best friends and spend all their time together in their little hidey houses. As they are older girls, they would prefer to find an indoor home where they can stay nice and warm and enjoy cuddles from their owners. Lady Alice and Pacific room could happily live with calm children.
If you think you may be able to offer Lady Alice and Pacific Rose a loving home please give the centre a call on 01243 967111 or visit our website: www.crrc.co.uk
