Submitted by Steve on 09:13, 5th Aug, 2019 | 0

This Spring a lovely cat called Bertie came into our care.

The 7 year old cat was found as a stray with a number of health problems including his eyes not being in good health.

Anna Paint Senior Animal Care Assistant tells us of Berties story “Bertie came in to us as a stray in May and straight away we realised that he had a problem with his eye sight and he was in a poor condition, Bertie was sent straight to the vets to get checked over as blindness in cats can be caused by a number of issues.”
