Sam

Old boy abandoned in our car park

Last Wednesday Deputy Manager Jo came into work at 8:30am to find a cardboard cat carrier in our car park. At first we thought it must be a young cat because the box weighed next to nothing. To our surprise a frail old cat greeted us when we opened the carrier. Written on the top of the box were the words 'Sam' obviously his name, but other than that no more information. 

It was a good job that Sam hadn't been out too long in the box outside because a soon as we got him in it started raining very hard. The box would have disintegrated and Sam would probably be out in old right now on his own. Sam really isn't in a good way the poor chap, he is very thin, old and wobbly on his feet.

When we took Sam out of the box he was covered in his own faeces. We gave him a bath, some food and made some room for him. We settled him in a pen and gave him a cosy bed and heat pad to keep him warm. Sam is getting lots of extra fuss from the staff and loves his food. He is due to see our vet Fiona tomorrow so we will keep you updated. 

We are so sad that Sam was abandoned here and just wish that we knew some more information about him. We can't believe the amount of cats being 'dumped' here over the last few weeks. We are asking people to be understanding, we are struggling to find homes for our cats and are therefore struggling to find the room for new cats. We have a very long waiting list and are doing our best to help as many cats as we can.

If you have information at all about Sam please can you give the centre a call on 01983 562609. If you are the owner of him we will be happy to hear from you, or even if you just recognise him, thank you.
