This Christmas season we are taking the opportunity to reflect on what we do at Animal Aid and why we do it. We have a firm belief that no animal should have to endure a life of pain and suffering.
At Animal Aid we mend the broken and heal the sick, we are gifting lives worth living. We ensure that each animal is happy and healthy before they go to their new homes. Some animals need only the basics of care, but too often, we see neglect and abuse leading to a life of suffering, disability, and disfigurement. The good news is, with your help, we can fix this. No matter the day or time, our Veterinary Team are always ready to help an animal in need. This year we gave over 15,000 hours of care to homeless animals. Our highly skilled and dedicated staff performed over 1750 surgeries and 8,000 consultations, health checks and vaccinations to homeless pets, but there is so much more to be done.
I’d love to tell you about one very special kitten Cooper whose life we were able to change.
On the 16 June, we received two 12-week-old kittens. One was adopted very quickly, but it was evident that the other (Cooper) had severe problems with his eyes. We conferred with our senior vets Nico and Adele and found that this kitten had no eyelids! Surgery was the only way that Cooper was going to be able to live a pain-free life. It took two extremely tricky procedures over a couple of months. The first involved flipping live tissue from below the eye, upwards (making Cooper blind for two weeks); this flap was then used to create eyelids for him! Cooper is now happy and healthy! His incredible surgery was a true success! Our talented vets and wonderful foster carers gave this little guy a life worth living. Cooper will be cleared by our vets in the coming weeks and will be available for adoption!
When you donate to Animal Aid this Christmas, you will be giving the gift of life, good health, and happiness to the homeless animals in our community.
