Injured. Neglected. Flea infested.
Left to suffer without any medical care, Boris was found with open wounds on his face, nose, and eye. His wounds were severely infected and he was in visible pain. Our inspector recalls, “It’s awful to think of the suffering Boris endured, and may have done so for much longer without our help”.
We fed and rushed Boris to the vet for emergency treatment and pain relief. He received specialist care and was gently nursed back to health in our animal centre where, thankfully, he made a full recovery. Right now, more suffering animals still need our urgent help before it's too late.
Please help rescue more animals like Boris with a monthly gift of £3.
Suffering, starving, painfully thin
Anakin was so severely underweight, malnourished and hungry, our Inspector was shocked when she rescued him, alongside Ahsoka. She found them shivering and huddled together on a radiator. As their thin coats were in such poor condition, much of Akina's frail body was bald. Both animals endured terrible pain and discomfort for weeks.
Anakin and Ahsoka received emergency care and treatment from our expert vets and thankfully made a full recovery. But this winter, many more animals urgently need our help.
Please help rescue more suffering animals like Anakin and Ahsoka. Please donate £3 a month.
