Little kitten Freddie was only 10 weeks old when he was abandoned and rescued by the RSPCA. We quickly realised he was extremely poorly with cat flu and he was rushed to the emergency vets.

Cat flu can be fatal in kittens. Freddie received intensive treatment at the vets for three nights over a long weekend. He was allowed to leave only because one of our fabulous foster carers is a vet nurse. She took him home to continue his treatment and monitor him carefully, while he slowly improved.

Fortunately Freddie is now almost completely recovered, but he remains with our vet nurse fosterer. As he gets better his personality is slowly starting to show. He is still somewhat quiet, but very friendly with people once he gets to know them. He will soon be ready for adoption to a household with other cats which have previously had cat flu or a with a cat-friendly dog.

We are very grateful for any help you can give us towards this bill right now! Any money we raise above our target will help pay for vet treatment needed by other Cat Hub cats. Thank you!
