Heronbank Rescue
We are a small cat rescue founded by John and Anne Fairless. Based in Batley,
Pounds for Peanut.
We have a deformed kitten in rescue called Peanut.
Peanuts mother was feral. She found refuge in a disused garden shed where she gave birth in a hole in the floor. As we understand it, Peanuts mother was subsequently disturbed and she left with her other kittens … all except for Peanut. Sadly, little Peanut was left behind because he had been born with a deformity in both his front legs. This made it impossible for him to crawl out of the hole, so he was left alone to die – he was only about 3 weeks old. Fortunately for Peanut, the owner of the house heard his pitiful cry and when she investigated she witnessed poor little Peanut trying to claw at the sides of the hole with his bent-backwards legs, in an attempt to get out. The finder alerted Heronbank Cat Rescue who arranged for him to come in.
We have pledged that we will provide Peanut with the necessary treatment and care to enable him to live a productive, active and happy long life. With that in mind, we now have visited a top consultant in the field of prosthetic implants. We hope that he can offer Peanut an orthotic or surgical solution which will straighten his legs, correcting his deformity in some way which will ultimately enable him to walk, run and jump, just like any other cat or kitten. He deserves this chance – the chance of life! This is scheduled to take place in about 3 months.
Thank you to everyone who is supporting Peanut!
