Dolly is a young stray cat from Protaras in Cyprus.

I found her stumbling around on the seafront with other kittens. She clearly had a problem with her back legs and couldnt walk properly. This meant she would not be able to run away if she was, for instance, chased by a dog and so she would have been in danger there.

I took her initially to the vet to find out what was wrong with her legs. The vet examined her and took xrays which showed her bones were ok, no old breaks, and he said it was probably neurological or maybe even mild cerebellar hypoplasia (wobbly cat syndrome). Other than her "back end wiggle" she was otherwise a beautiful healthy kitten.

She was then put on medication in case it was an infection from a trauma or a bite.

I decided to call her Dolly because she has the most unusual markings and she reminded me of a bag of Dolly mixture sweets - all different colours.

Dolly is currently being fostered in Cyprus and over the weeks her back legs seem to have got a lot better. Only very occasionally can her little "wiggle" be noticed. She does however sometimes lie with her legs at a strange angle but she runs and plays so it clearly isnt bothering her and her legs have got much stronger since the day that I found her.

Shortly after putting her photo on Facebook, a lady contacted me to say that she had been feeding her when she was on holiday in Protaras a few weeks earlier. A few weeks later we spoke again and the lady said she would like to adopt her :)

We have some money towards her flight and passport costs but there is a shortfall of around £200 and we invite people to donate as soon as possible so that we can get Dolly flown back to UK and settled into her new furever home where she will be safe and loved.

Please help her if you can. Your donation, no matter how small will be very much appreciated.

Thank you
