Little Nell

Little Nell came to Hollyview after a lady contacted us in desperate need of our help; she had 4-week-old kittens – 2 of which had already passed away and the other two were in a terrible state. So, we immediately rushed over and took the kitten’s Mum, one kitten who was barely alive and the other, who was also struggling, straight to our vets. Sadly, one kitten died shortly after arriving at the vets; Mum was given antibiotics and fluids as she had diarrhoea, and the other kitten was given meds and fluids too.

We took them home and hand-reared the kitten who needed 2 hourly feeds, flea and worm treatments. The mum has now been rehomed having spent several weeks recuperating and regaining her strength. It was touch and go at first for Little Nell, but she has gone from strength to strength and is now thriving. Little Nell is a real character; she still loves her cuddles and enjoys playing with the other cats here at the sanctuary. She has fallen in love with Lottie, and this is very much reciprocated; they are often curled up together in a bed, with their arms wrapped around one another.
