Help Fylde Coast Cats buy an incubator in memory of Batman

Batman joined us at Fylde Coast Cats after being thrown from a bridge as a tiny kitten. We refused to give up on him, despite knowing his chances were incredibly slim. He was limp and cold when found, with a head wound, hernia, and potentially broken bones. The emergency vet gave us pain relief to keep him comfortable (she thought he'd pass overnight) and I brought him home and kept him warm in the incubator. Unfortunately, the incubator promptly gave up and I carefully managed his temperature in a foil lined box with hot water bottles and heat pads. Batman made it through the night and went through lots of ups and downs over the next few weeks, with seizures, surgeries and illness. He fought throughout and grew to be handsome and loving. He was an incredible little guy and became well enough to be vaccinated and play and live like a normal kitten. He was always a little different, had quiet days and acted as though there was some brain damage but he was happy and doing well. He had a very quiet day last Saturday and I knew something was wrong. We saw the vet who wasn't sure why, and kept a close eye on him. I syringe fed him and kept him going but he had a massive seizure and passed that night. Batman had a big following of over a thousand people desperate to see him doing well but it wasn't to be Batman lived and loved though, so we'll never regret saving him and loving him. He's left a huge hole in many of our lives, so we'd love to have something positive in his memory. Given how much he relied on being kept warm at the start, we feel an incubator (and hopefully a travel incubator too for vet transfers and on the road rescues to get warmth into sick cats early) would be a fitting tribute for our little superhero
Any and all help will be appreciated enormously, whether that's with a donation or a share.
Thank you all
