“Wesley” our amazing rescue cat, had his final stitches out on Monday 24th April, for those of you who have followed him on our Facebook page, we know you will all be delighted for him.
He was taken in as a long term stray, an entire tom, many weeks ago and due to an untreated neglected eye infection, it rendered him blind in both eyes, so very sadly he had to have major surgery to have them removed. Obviously this incurred huge veterinary costs and we (GA) are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed to our appeal, which amassed a total of over £1000 towards his surgery and follow up visits. We are hugely thankful to everyone who helped “Wesley” in any way, be it financially, providing transportation to and from the vets. We would like to offer our sincere thanks to Youngs Veterinary Partnership, Hounslow and their staff for their care and assistance shown to him. If you'd like to donate to help cover some of Wesley's current and ongoing treatment please use the donate link on our homepage. Once his rehabilitation is complete, we will be looking for a truly special indoor home for him, so watch this space please!! Over the Easter weekend, as part of our commitment to the scheme, a rota of volunteers were in the store for a total of 19 hours(!!) collecting money and food for Guardian Angels. A magnificent effort by all, and we would like to thank everyone who supported us, by doing a shift or donating. Without your help we couldn’t fulfill our commitment to the scheme. We will know sometime in May how much money we collected, again huge thanks to all. Guardian Angels Animal Support were thrilled that we were the Feltham Pets@Home nominated charity back in 2022.
Following on from this partnership, with the Pets at Home Foundation-Santa Paws appeal, we are delighted to announce that a total of £959.57p was credited to our bank account, from our efforts during the appeal. We would like to extend massive thanks to everyone who participated on our volunteer rota to enable us to fulfil our required 36 hour target for the event - very well done all. Last year was an extremely busy year for us, we were all working flat out, especially during the summer months. We helped a huge number of animals, including dogs, puppies, cats, kittens, rabbits and wildlife in a variety of ways, and it is our hope, with your help and support our rescue work will continue this year. It seems almost certain that Guardian Angels will be partnered with Feltham Pets at Home for 2023, for which we are all very grateful and will keep you updated with dates for your diary. We anticipate an equally busy year, even busier, as people struggle with the cost of living crisis and are unable to continue to care for their companion animals, and afford veterinary costs. Obviously, like everything else, veterinary expenses have increased, which is another headache for us, and in view of this fact it will be necessary to increase our adoption donation fees, very soon, to help us pay our veterinary bills and other expenses. Scampi, wants you all to know that it’s now 2 years, since he came into Guardian Angels care, and despite his ongoing medical issues, he continues to enjoy life and is extremely happy.
He would also like to say a huge thank to everyone who supports Guardian Angels in any way, with time, money, food and goods. Scampi and all the other animals that come through, or sometimes stay in our care, like him(!) are extremely grateful. We're delighted to have been asked to participate in and benefit from the Pets at Home Foundation Santa Paws appeal this year. We'll be fundraising in the store over the weekends of 3/4th and 10/11th December from 10am until 4pm. Every £1 donated will help animals in need, so come along, say hello and do your bit to help animals in need this Christmas - thank you. We love a lighthearted read, and some of these animals are very special indeed - enjoy!
