Descripción del contenido del proyecto en resumen
We need to refurbish our vet room at the shelter. Unfortunately the area is suffering from quite extensive damp and so we need new damp proofing work and pointing to ensure the room is a warm space for the animals in our care. We then want to clad the room and we shall decorate ourselves. Alongside that we would also like funding to pay towards our vet, treatment, neutering and surgery bills which average out to be £10,000 a month. To undertake the building works we have a quote for £6,108.00 any additional sums awarded over and above this would go towards the treatment and neutering of animals undertaken in that room. We have so many case studies we can share about animals who have been treated for various conditions in our care, underwent operations that have improved their health and wellbeing and improved their lives immeasurably. I share one case study below
Misty arrived in to our care in February after being found as a stray, we were unable to make contact with Misty’s previous owners despite all attempts. Upon arrival it was obvious that Misty had been used for breeding as she had extremely large and swollen Nipples and mammary tissue. Misty was checked over by a vet where the vet found that as well as the swollen nipples and mammary tissue, she also had an enlarged vulva, meaning she was recently post-partum. Misty had no milk production and was fit and well in herself so she was booked in for neutering as soon as she was able to be.
Misty recovered from her neutering, although it did take slightly longer than usual due to additional swelling around her wound. Misty is a beautiful and loving girl; she loves humans and all the fuss and attention that comes with them. Misty has been successfully rehomed and her future is set to be full of love and safety where she can’t be used for breeding for financial gain.
Resumen de los principales resultados esperados
A renovated, damp free, dry, warm and bright vet room that is fit for purpose for the future and an ability to treat animals in our care with either medication or surgery as may be required. Happier, healthier animals that are ready to be rehomed and go onto their next chapter fit and well to do so.
