Meet Garfield !

Garfield came to us in March, along with three other cats as his owner went into long term care having been diagnosed with dementia. At first Garfield was a bit shy but soon came out of his shell and loves being groomed by our volunteers.

Our North Wirral Volunteers noticed that Garfield’s eyes appeared sore and upon veterinary examination, it was found that his right eye was not producing enough tears, and a small corneal ulcer was present. They also noticed he had a condition where the eyelid turns inward, (called an entropion) causing irritation to the eye surface and he was started on twice-daily eye drops for two weeks. Once the ulcer had healed, Garfield underwent surgery to correct the entropion, helping to prevent further discomfort and protect his eye health long-term.

Thanks to our amazing volunteers, Garfield is recovering well, and is back to his purring self!
