Old girl Clementine was in a sorry old state when she came into our centre in Aberdeenshire as a stray. Aged over 10 and carrying cat flu, she weighed just 2.1kg. Her fur was badly matted so we had to shave her, and this poor lady had inflamed her skin from trying to clean her fur.
We got Clementine back on her feet but we discovered she had hyperthyroidism, which causes weight loss and increased urination. After three months of love and care, Clementine’s weight had grown to 2.8kg and her coat was as good as new.
Clementine found the perfect home with a lovely couple who had previously owned a cat with the same condition. She’s now known as Ellie.
