Sadly, on July the 7th 2023 we lost Ava. She was taken to the vets as the health team discovered that she had a very bad swollen back knuckle joint. The vet had to sedate her to have a proper investigation & it was surmised that she could have been bitten by another cat or even possibly a snake, as the wound was very bad. He also did blood tests & it was found that Ava was FIP positive, so sadly the decision was made to have her PTS.
RIP Sweet girl you will be missed. 5 happy years you had with us at the sanctuary.
