Raising funds for Chips the oil cat

Chips was dumped outside the Celia Hammond Animal Trust Canning Town Centre, smothered in what we suspect to be restaurant waste oil, placed in a black bin bag and taped shut inside the dirtiest cat basket we may have ever seen. 

 

He was admitted by our emergency veterinary team who immediately got to work attempting to remove the oil from his skin and fur. 

 

UPDATE: Chips remains under veterinary assessment due to irritation of his skin. He has hair loss in areas around his neck where there are painful looking patches. We are still determining if the irritation of his skin is a reaction to the oil or if there is another reason. Though he’s received numerous baths, the discoloration has proven difficult to remove and his fur remains looking dirty and stained

 

We are hoping he will make a full recovery and will be available for adoption soon. 

 

Our charity is struggling at the moment as we are overwhelmed with requests to take in unwanted, abandoned and stray cats and kittens. We have run out of space. Every animal charity is facing a challenge due to the nationwide shortage of vets due to Brexit.

 

We have always tried to be here for you when you and your animals need us, now we need your help more than ever.
