Purrdy - Ultimate Survivor winner
Purrdy survived a horrific start in life after being born on a kitten breeding farm run by an unscrupulous breeder. Failing to meet pedigree standards, she was thrown into a run-down caravan with 50 other “rejects” and left to live in appalling conditions. She was eventually discovered by animal welfare workers who said the living standards were among the worse they had ever seen. Despite her ordeal, Purrdy has gone from being fearful and cowering in her basket to being a loving family pet.
TV vet Emma Milne chose Purrdy and said: “This was an immensely difficult choice but my winner is Purrdy for surviving a harrowing experience. As well as being ill-treated and malnourished, Purrdy was trapped in a small space with a group of other cats, which must have caused her untold psychological stress. That she pulled through is testament to her fighting spirit.”
