Story
Could you help Oscar this Christmas time?
Poor Oscar came into our care with very sore itchy skin for which he is currently receiving treatment, but in addition to this our vets have advised he has a condition called ‘Entropian’, a condition where the eyelid turns inwards which can cause redness, irritation and pain, as well as light sensitivity, uncomfortable discharge, and at times damage to the corneal itself.
There is surgery available to correct this which involves a vet rolling the eyelid outward to its normal position by removing a piece of skin and setting the eyelid to the correct position. The approximate cost for this treatment alone is £250 and we would like to ask for your help in funding Oscar’s treatment and helping him on his road to recovery.
Despite having come to us in such discomfort Oscar is such a sweet boy, aged 12years old, who can be very chatty and loves company.

This has been an extremely difficult year for charities like ourselves, and your help and support really is and has been invaluable. If you would like to make a donation towards Oscar’s treatment, we would ask that you please click on the DONATE NOW button.
Please note should we find ourselves in the extremely fortunate position of exceeding the amount of this appeal, please rest assured any funds raised in excess will be used to help other cats and kittens in care, if not in the continuation of Oscar’s overall treatment.
Thank you.

3 years agoThanks to our wonderful supporters so quickly helping us raise the amount needed for the surgery, the surgery has been carried out and we are very pleased to report that Oscar is recovering well. He still has a way to go in his overall treatment plan, but we would like to again thank you all so much for your support during what we know are extremely difficult times for us all. Thank you from all the team at the Ferndown Homing Centre, and of course most importantly, Oscar!
