Kitwan eager for new home

Kitwan

Kitwan was just over three weeks old when he was found tied inside a plastic carrier bag and dumped in a garden like a piece of rubbish.

His finder kindly brought him to our Hillingdon Clinic for veterinary attention and ongoing care.

Far too young to be separated from his mum, he was unable to eat or toilet without help and was placed with an experienced fosterer to be hand reared.

He made good progress with his foster mum and, two months later, was lucky enough to be adopted by a lovely family.

However, his poor start in life had left him vulnerable while still so young and shortly after going to his new home he fell gravely ill and had to come back into our care.

We really were not sure if he was going to make it and had him admitted to a private veterinary hospital for extensive tests and treatment.

Following two weeks of hospitalisation with round the clock treatment and care, Kitwan was out of danger and able to return to his original foster home to fully recuperate.

Plucky Kitwan is now almost six months old, has made a complete recovery and longs for his own forever home.

He’s a tough little character, full of mischief and with bags of energy, gets on well with small/medium dogs and other cats and would be fine with children beyond toddler age.

Plenty of space to run about and a safe area to be introduced to the outdoor world will be needed for this budding explorer.

Kitwan owes his life to the kindness of many – the person who found him and brought him to us for help, the veterinary teams who treated him, the fosterer who hand reared him and nursed him to recovery from illness and of course all our supporters who donate, volunteer and fundraise so this local self-funding RSPCA Branch can continue to provide care and treatment for animals like Kitwan.

After all he has had to contend with in his short life, this beautiful boy deserves a future of love, care and ongoing kindness – could that be with you?
