Maddy finds a new start after local charity rescue.

Maddy, a young black kitten rescued by Shetland Cat Rescue, received veterinary care for poor nutrition and parasites and is now in foster care.

A young black kitten named Maddy was recently trapped at a known feral colony and brought to Shetland Cat Rescue for veterinary care. She was believed to be about ten weeks old but weighed only 1.15kg. Vets found signs of poor nutrition and worms, and she received flea and tick treatment and worming. Maddy was too young to be spayed at that visit, and rescuers discussed the need for early socialisation for feral kittens. Key details: - Maddy was trapped at a known feral colony and estimated to be around ten weeks old. - Her weight at rescue was 1.15kg and she was described by rescuers as "fierce." - Veterinary checks found poor nutrition and worms; she received worm treatment and flea/tick treatment. - She was too young to be spayed or neutered during that visit. - A foster carer was found and Maddy is now in foster care and reported to be doing well. - The charity also trapped a young tabby male from the colony, who was neutered and released back to the colony. Summary: Maddy received veterinary treatment and was placed with a foster carer after rescuers decided release back to the colony posed concerns. Undetermined at this time.
