Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I want to help raise money for Robbie the cat who was badly burned when he was sheltering in a sofa. I wanted to help him get better by giving my pocket money to pay for his medicine and treatment. I want you to help me to raise more money for him as his vets bills are huge! I am going to be doing a sponsored scoot from Reculver to Hampton! I'm only 7 and this is a long way for me! It's probably the furthest I have ever scooted in my life!

A POORLY puss is on the road to recovery thanks to generous Herne Bay animal lovers - including two brothers who donated their pocket money.

Robbie was rescued by the RSPCA after the sofa he was sheltering in was set alight, and taken to the Broadway Veterinary Group for treatment.

Vet Sarah Platt is giving her time for free but the medication and other costs are expected to top £4,000.

After reading our story  about Robbie's plight, brothers Riley and Nathan Williams decided to give their pocket money to help.

The pair, aged three and seven, pooled their cash and took it to the vet's surgery, with a little help from their mum and dad.

Nathan, a pupil at Herne Bay infants school, said: "Robbie looked very poorly in the picture so we thought we would give some money for his medicines and cream.

"We were allowed to stroke him and he looks like a very nice cat.

"Even with his burns I still see him as a nice-looking cat."

Mum Sadie, a youth worker for Kent County Council, said: "They usually spend their money on trains or other toys and they save it up but they had no hesitation in giving it to the appeal.

"Nathan has just started Beavers and their promise is to be kind and helpful so I think that really helped."

Practice manager Gill Smith said: "We were so touched when the boys came in. Everyone has fallen in love with Robbie and people are being very kind.

"One of our nurses is negotiating with suppliers for discounts on the equipment - one of the catheters he needs costs £26 each time.

"Even small donations really help because they all add up."

The Canterbury and Dover branch of the RSPCA raises all its funds locally and volunteers are planning to hold events to help pay for Robbie's care.
