Isobel
Practice cat
Isobel came to us in January 2005
as a welfare case. She had been badly beaten and had sustained
serious head injuries. Her progress was slow to start with but has
since come on leaps and bounds.
Isobel now lives in the clinic, has
a large cage with plenty of toys where she spends her evenings and
is free to wander the clinic the rest of the time. She is also free
to explore the surrounding fields although is rather agoraphobic and
prefers to be indoors! She is well loved by the rest of the staff.
