Help Trio of Kittens' and Popeye's recovery(RSPCA)

Despite only being four and a half months old, Loui, Jasper, and Tilly have already gone through so much. They were found in a filthy home with the kittens not being looked after properly. After being rescued at around 4 weeks, the 3 kittens were taken to Greater Manchester Animal Hospital to be checked, where they were diagnosed and treated for cat flu and fleas. When they came into our branch's care (RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire & Buxton), they were also diagnosed and treated for Giardia. In September, the three kittens were diagnosed with ringworm, and the kittens are still currently going through treatment. Despite all of this, the kittens have continued to be happy and friendly.

Any money raised would go towards the kittens’ medical bills, which are already at £800, and for specialised cleaning equipment to ensure that these kittens continue to thrive in their current foster home. Due to the ringworm treatment, the kittens cannot have their vaccinations, so it's essential to ensure that their current home is suitable for them.

The kittens are currently happy in their foster home, waiting to be vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped

This fundraiser is also to help pay for the treatment of this poor little soul, Popee, who was reported to our incredible 'Cat Man' - TNR Volunteer, Mike, who took him straight to the vet. Despite his injuries, he was purring, head-butting and cheerful as ever (that's some cat!). The optic nerve and blood supply had already disconnected (we have spared you the graphic image), and the eye was just retained by muscle. But it was putrid (and very smelly), and the big concern, once it had been removed, was A) can we get the infection under control and B) did the vet manage to remove all the glands that secrete lubricants etc.

The vet deliberately left a gap at the lower end of the stitching to allow the trapped fluids to drain. He was also tested for FIV/FeLV (negative) castrated and microchipped. His teeth looked great, and we're saying he's two years old.

He was also reported as being on three legs (which made us think road traffic accident) But, no - he's simply lost the toes and half his foot on the offending leg, which seems to be from an old injury some time ago, having fully healed and 'furred' over. He is using it to some extent and doesn't seem to feel pain when it is manipulated; he generally keeps it off the ground, using it only to balance/jump. We will know more when he ditches his 'collar of shame, and we can play with him a little.

He seems to be taking it all in his stride, and he is currently being looked after by Mike, who is doing a fantastic job helping him through his recovery. The next key stage is a progress check with the surgeon, and we are taking it a day at a time with him – but we are hopeful things are looking bright for this one-eyed, 3½ legged softy.

**Any excess funds raised beyond our target amount will be used for the other animals within RSPCA Macclesfield, SE Cheshire & Buxton's care.
