Yorkshire Cat Rescue is a regional charity that rescues and rehomes unwanted and stray cats and kittens. Recently, the AVM Foundation was able to provide a grant to help the charity with its growing veterinary expenses.

This funding has been a critical lifeline for Yorkshire Cat Rescue, enabling them to care for vulnerable feline residents in desperate need. One particularly heartbreaking case involved a litter of kittens who arrived at the rescue severely infested with fleas. Tragically, two of the four kittens did not survive the ravages of the infestation.

The two surviving kittens required intensive veterinary intervention, including rehydration via IV drips and treatment for life-threatening anaemia caused by the heavy flea burden. It has been a long and slow road to recovery, but thanks to the round-the-clock care provided by the rescue's dedicated staff and volunteers, these resilient kittens are now on their way to making a full recovery.

In the near future, once they have regained their strength, these once-vulnerable kittens will be placed into loving forever homes - a happy ending that would not have been possible without the support of organizations like Yorkshire Cat Rescue, and amazing leaders like Sara.

Stories like this highlight the vital role that animal welfare charities play in protecting and rehabilitating vulnerable pets. By supporting rescues like Yorkshire Cat Rescue, the AVM Foundation is making a tangible difference in the lives of cats in need. We are grateful for their compassion and commitment to animal welfare.
