Brie the loving stray cat despite recovering from an incredibly horrendous infection – Please donate to her care

Submitted by Steve on 12:44, 27th Feb, 2025 | 0

On our 152nd anniversary of the GSPCA an extremely poorly stray cat arrived at the GSPCA that needed rushing to the vets.

Brie as the young ginger female cat has been called had a very large and extremely infected would to her side which could be smelt well before you could see it.

The suffering she must have been enduring would have been extremely unpleasant and painful and the extent of the infection meant that on examination it was apparent that it was likely to have been some weeks Brie had been suffering for.
