£79 could help provide crucial veterinary care, so every cat that arrives at Battersea has a full health check and is given essentials, such as flea and worm treatment.

But many cats like Pepo, need more help.

Pepo was just three months old when he found himself at Battersea. Our veterinary team noticed he had recently suffered from cat flu and as a result of the infection, had developed a cloudy eye. Sadly, it was unlikely that Pepo’s eye would be able to heal. To provide him with the best chance at a happy life, the team decided to remove his eye. 

After his operation, Pepo was back on his feet in no time and keeping Battersea’s Cattery staff on their toes. With his bold and inquisitive personality, staff knew it wouldn’t take him long to find a new home. Pepo has now found a loving new family where he can grow, play and explore the world.

The Essential Vet Care For A Cat package could help provide vital medicines, vaccines and supplies of bandages, cotton wool, and surgical equipment that can help cats like Pepo.

Your purchase of our Battersea Virtual Gifts is considered a donation and will be used where it is most needed, ensuring our feline friends have plenty of toys to stay active, treats to keep them happy, and the essential care they need.
