    Story

    On the afternoon of the 11th November 2018, my beautiful 8 month old cat Diesel was hit by a car. The driver of the car drove away, but luckily there was someone there who saw the incident & took him to the vets. Sadly Diesel sustained many serious fractures in his pelvis & femur & for him to have the best possible chance of recovery he needed surgery which involved pins & screws being inserted in to these areas. By my own silly admission I did not have him insured & so the cost of this treatment has come to a total of £1198.11. I'm a single mum with a full time job so I'm a very independent person, & I don't like asking for help, but with xmas around the corner & my own health causing me to have a lot of time off sick recently i really some help right now. He was the first born kitten of my other cats first litter & the thought of having him put down because I can't afford the treatment that was available didn't bare thinking about. Thank you

      Diesel had his 10 day check up today & all is going so well. I have some pictures of his x-ray to show what he had done to re align his femur & pelvis, but this would not have been possible without everyone that has helped us. Ive met & chatted to some incredible people during all this. Each person that has donated to this page, bought an item I'm selling to help me raise funds, made direct payments to Market Vets, or even offered words of support..I really am humbled by all you have done for me, my son & Diesel. Thank you all so very much💜

      Diesel is now home and recovering from his operation....he still has a long way to go but hopefully he will be back on his feet in a few weeks time. He wouldn't have made it this far without all of the support we have received from various people. I can't thank you all enough.....from the team at Market Vets in Pottington, to friends, family, charity organisations and strangers with good hearts. We couldn't have done this without you.xx
