"Our Tigger was cruelly kicked, stamped on and had his tail pulled.

"It has affected his kidney and liver and he became paralysed from the waist down, he couldn’t walk without dragging his back legs.

"He is under the vets to get better and with a lot of treatment and daily meds he will hopefully get better with lots of rest.

"With the damage to his liver and kidneys and his tail, vets have suggested a CT scan to find out the full damage that an x-ray can’t show.

"This can cost over £1000 with our vet bill already at £800 before this.

"If you can give anything even if its just one pound it would be really appreciated.

"We just want our Tigger back to his normal playful self again.

“If there is any money left over we will donate to a local animal charity or to the vets who are helping Tigger, to help fund another pet if they need help with emergency funds.”

So far £690 has been raised of the £1000 target on the gofundme page.
