No, we are not asking for donations of footwear (though we are sure our three shops would be delighted to receive some nice pairs!).
This appeal is for a beautiful cat named Boots. You may remember that he came to us just before Christmas having been abandoned by his owners. We think that Boots is about 12 years-old, though we cannot be sure.
Boots was very underweight and poorly when he came to us but responded fantastically to treatment and is now safe in one of our foster homes. Unfortunately we discovered that he has a condition called hyperthyroidism, which will require medication for life, and blood tests every 3 months to check the medication is still working.
He also has a slight heart defect which will require annual heart scans to check for any deterioration.
We want Boots to have the happiest, best life possible so will still find a lovely adoption home for him. However as the new owner will not be able to secure insurance for these pre-existing conditions, RSPCA South London Branch will continue to fund his treatment.
Boots’ health conditions will cost us around £2,000 per year for the rest of his life. If you can, please consider donating via our Boots Just Giving page, so we can ensure Boots can live the happy and healthy life he deserves. Please click on the donate button below if you can.
