Fundraise for cats like Pumpkin

A concerned cat lover found Pumpkin collapsed on her doorstep, so thin and frail that she feared he would not make it. After calling Cats Protection Beverley & District, dedicated volunteers rushed him to Norwood Vets for an emergency appointment, where an initial assessment revealed just how dire a condition he was in.  

Pumpkin was severely anaemic and an X-ray revealed something lodged in his intestine. He needed urgent surgery to save his life. Vets removed a piece of rubber the size of a 10p coin, giving him the first real chance he’d had in a long time.  

After the operation, Pumpkin quickly won the hearts of everyone who cared for him. Vet nurses, reception staff and volunteers formed a small fan club around this gentle boy as he slowly regained his strength. One dedicated nurse even took him home to provide the 24-hour care he needed to recover safely. 

Today, Pumpkin, now renamed Leo, is thriving in a loving new home, finally able to enjoy the comfort and affection he’d been missing for so long.   

His rescue and recovery were only possible thanks to generous supporters who help fund urgent, lifesaving treatment for cats in desperate situations. Our teams rely on this kindness every day to give cats like Leo a second chance at happiness.
