Skinny Minnie

"We found her as an abandoned kitten terrified of humans. After days of hearing her wail, and trying to catch her, we finally got close enough to pick her up. She was covered in fleas and faeces and was terrified. I gave her a bath and noticed blood in the water. All of her paws were bleeding.

I raced her to the vet who confirmed that her paws had been badly burnt. She is now about 6 years old and has grown into the most beautiful cat, but is still very scared strangers and jumps at her own shadow. She has bought us so much happiness that no amount of cost or time has been too great. She is our little gift."
- Suzanne
