Please help Tilley with a lung x-ray and heart scan

Hello, I am Tilley’s owner.

Tilley was rescued at 8 months old from an horrific home that was investigated by the RSPCA. Tilley had been kept locked in a bathroom, underfed, bred from multiple times, and her kittens removed at a few days old. Tilley had stunted growth, was underweight, had ear mites, fleas, and was terrified of everything.

Over the years and with the fantastic care of her vets, she has managed to lead a comfortable life, only needing yearly checks to make sure she is doing ok, and that the medicinal stuff we have been giving her is keeping her well.

Unfortunately Tilley has now developed a cough, which the vets are wanting to investigate to determine if this is asthma or sadly heart disease. At 8 years old, Tilley is still only young and we want to make sure she can still enjoy all the happy years ahead of her. As she is still a bundle of chaotic energy and loves nothing more than sitting on top of the fish tank watching the birds.

A pre-authorisation was sent to our insurance company, who have just informed us, that due to Tilley’s history they will not cover this procedure. Unfortunately I do not have the funds for this, and I cannot get a credit card due to not making enough self employed. The vets have offered us a payment plan, which I am trying to arrange for the other £502, as this is all I can afford, as it is on a 3rd party contract. I have researched other charities in the area, but blue cross etc do not cover Torbay. So I am now pretty desperate.

I fully appreciate that not everyone trusts gofundme, so please, if you do wish to donate and feel more comfortable donating straight to my vets, she is under Vets4pets Torquay, my name is Fern Keenan and my cat is under Tilley Keenan.

I have attached the claim refusal from insurance as evidence.

I am more than grateful for any pounds raised, and if you cannot donate, please can you share Tilley’s story.

Thankyou
