Popeye the injured cat needs your help

Gables Dogs & Cats Home were recently contacted by Filham Park Veterinary Clinic to help a cat with a severely damaged eye who desperately needed medical care. Popeye, as he has affectionately been named, had an accident on a farm and his eye was beyond repair and needed to be removed. 

Despite the pain he must have been in Popeye has been a star patient through all his treatment and eye removal surgery at the vets. He’s enjoyed lots of fuss from all the vet nurses and they all describe him as an affectionate boy. Once Popeye is well enough he will be taken to Gables to finish his recovery and receive any further treatment he may need. After he is fully recovered and fighting fit once more, Gables will find him a new loving forever home. 

It is estimated to cost an additional £800 on top of Gables normal operating costs to give Popeye the help and treatment he needs.

Gables Dogs & Cats Home does not receive any government funding and has felt the financial strain from the Coronavirus pandemic, but they are determined to help Popeye. If you can help to ease Gables’ financial burden by making a contribution to the ‘Popeye in a pickle Vet Appeal’, call 01752 331602 or visit www.justgiving.com/campaign/popeye or paypal.me/gablesdogsandcats to donate online.

If Gables are lucky enough to raise more funds than needed for Popeye’s appeal, the excess will go towards helping the other animals in their care.
