Coco came into our care in August 2019 with her two bothers and another young kitten. While the other three were thriving and soon rehomed, it became clear that Coco is a special case. The vet confirmed a deformation of her jaw and the canals between her eyes, ears, nose and throat not being developed properly, which makes her prone to infections and her immune system likely to be deprived. The conclusion was to have Coco being kept indoors. Thanks to TLC and soothing chamomile treatment, six months later, finally, the initial cat flu symptoms were gone and Coco started to grow stronger. She still requires regular treatment and monitoring, so it was decided that Coco will become West Cork Animal Welfare Group’s first sponsor cat.
With the ok from the vet, small supervised trips outside are now possible. She loves exploring the garden and to sit in the sun. She still gets flu symptoms regularly as soon as the temperature slightly changes and needs cleaning of the eyes and nose and medical care, but she is a happy little girl. She loves to tell you all about her day and enjoys cuddles and evenings curled up in front of the fire. She is a big part of her fury and human family and everybody is trying their best to make life as comfortable as can be for little Coco.
If you would like to support Coco with a monthly donation of 5 Euro, she and all of us at WCAWG will appreciate it very much.
