This sweet cat’s condition isn’t stopping her from living her best life
This lovely feline friend is one of the six current cat hospital inhabitants. In this big enclosure, we house our cats that have been tested positive for Leukaemia. Unfortunately they have to be kept separate from our other cats, because this disease is very contagious to other cats. Our volunteers, however, go into the enclosure to give these cats all the attention they deserve everyday.
Leukaemia (an infection with the feline leukaemia virus, FeLV) is unfortunately incurable. It can cause various blood disorders and can lead to immune deficiency which makes a cat susceptible to secondary infections. During the early stages of infection, it is common for cats to show no signs of disease at all, however, after months or even years, an infected cat’s health can deteriorate quickly. Luckily, our sweet Karen is still doing really good at the moment, enjoying life and cuddles with our volunteers at our sanctuary.
If you can help towards the cause of our Leukaemia cats, your donation would be greatly appreciated.
