Every day we see sick and injured animals here at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in Guernsey.
Oscar a male black and white cat although looks quite healthy has kidney problems and the GSPCA and our vets are trying to determine what is the exact problem.
After a series of tests he currently is having a 3 week course of antibiotics to hopefully cure what we are hoping will be just an infection.
Oscar is just one of the many un-neutered, stray cats we have had in at the Shelter this year and we are urging owners to ensure their cats are spayed with Spring upon us.
Not only is neutering very important, but it is also extremely important to ensure your cat is microchipped and we do this at the Shelter for just £4.99.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'Oscar is so sweet and friendly and we all are hoping that with some antibiotics his kidneys will be fine, but we won't know for at least 3 weeks.'
'Oscar is just one of the cats at the Shelter in need of treatment and tests and we are always appealing for donations to help our rescued, sick and injured animals in our care as well as towards our much needed new Cattery and Quarantine Build Appeal.'
'We must thank everyone that has already donated towards helping Pickles a cat who has skin cancer here at the GSPCA and will soon have her operation.'
