Lucky Kitten
This little kitten was lucky enough to be rescued by an Egyptian man who wanted a cat for his children. When the man had found the kitten, he had a ruptured eyeball which was very painful and had become severely infected. Concerned for the welfare of the kitten, he bought him straight to ACE to be examined by one of the ACE vets.

Sadly the eye was so severely damaged, that it was not possible to save it. The kitten was given pain killers and antibiotics, and then underwent an enucleation operation to remove the eye.

After surgery, he was much more comfortable, as the infected eye was extremely painful, and he was soon running around, climbing things, and demanding fuss and cuddles very noisily!

He has now gone home with his new family, and is doing very well. He comes for regular routine health checks and he’s growing fast, and is being very well looked after.
