Title: Sponsored Walk for Daisy 2011
Post by: vn on May 21, 2011, 13:33:52 PM
On Saturday 28th May 2011 I will be walking for Daisy a little cat who has suffered like no-one ever should.
This is her story:
On Tuesday 3rd May a little Tabby Cat called Daisy was found with horrific injuries and close to death dumped near Teckels Animal Shelter. At first the staff at Teckels believed that she had been a victim of a Road Traffic Accident due to the severity of her injuries but sadly after examination by the vets it has become clear that this is no accident and this poor little cat was a victim of a deliberate and sickening sexual assault. She has been subjected to a violent and horrific ordeal. Not only was she taken from her home but she was then beaten and left for dead. She lost half her body weight in blood and suffered broken teeth, a fractured skull, a black eye, a dislocated tail which has now has had to be amputated but worse of all she was violently raped. Her poor broken little body was found by the amazing staff at Teckels who immediately got her into Veterinary care. The Police are investigating the despicable and utterly heinous crime and DNA evidence is present. Daisy was not an abandoned cat as previously reported she was and still is a much loved and cherished little pet who was just going about her normal daily routine at her home when she so violently and horrendously violated. The Vets and Staff and her loving owner are desperately keeping their fingers and toes crossed that she will be able to recover and resume a normal life after this un-believable and disgusting attack. Originally it seemed that she may have suffered such extensive damage to her little body she might not have been able to perform normal necessary toilet functions and to add insult to all the injury she suffered she might still have had to be put to sleep BUT that is thankfully no longer the case and we are all so pleased that she is recovering

I have set up a just giving page so if anyone would like to sponsor me the link is http://www.justgiving.com/walkfordaisy

Thank you

OMG that has got to be one of the most shocking things I have read, cannot believe how evil the human race can be. I have donated on your justgiving page it looks like you are getting plenty of support.
Good luck with the walk, I just hope they catch the evil scum that carried out this attack before he does it again >:( >:(
Cuddles to Daisy I hope she can make a full recovery. :hug:
