BRUNO
We
received
a
call
from
our
friends,
Carlo,
Gary
and
Auntie
Pat,
telling
us
about
an
extremely
friendly
cat
that
had
turned
up
in
their
garden,
this
cat
had
put
its
left
front
leg
through
his
collar,
causing
the
collar
to
rub
away
the
fur
and
skin
down
to
his
flesh,
we
have
seen
many
cats
die
from
this
injury,
as
the
collar
eventually
penetrates
the
lung.
Carlo
and
Gary
hadn't
the
stomach
to
cope
with
this
gruesome
and
unsightly
injury,
but
they
desperately
wanted
to
give
the
cat
a
home
with
the
other
two
cats
they
previously
adopted
from
the
Shelter,
we
knew
what
was
coming,
they
were
going
to
ask
us
to
take
in
the
cat,
which
wasn't
a
problem
to
us.
Firstly,
they
took
the
cat
to
Hannah
our
vet
at
Heath
and
Reach
for
treatment,
while
under
anaesthetic
for
his
injury,
he
was
also
castrated,
afterwards,
the
lads
brought
Bruno,
as
they
named
him,
to
the
Shelter
to
continue
his
treatment
and
medication.
Bruno
was
unbelievably
placid,
without
a
murmur
or
any
aggression
he
allowed
us
to
treat
his
very
painful
wound.
Bruno
through
no
fault
of
his
own,
had
become
a
stray,
with
his
injury
he
was
unable
to
groom
himself,
he
was
a
large
dirty
un-kept,
un-castrated
smelly
tom,
his
luck
changed
when
he
turned
up
in
Carlo
and
Gary's
garden
who
are
kind
and
gentle
and
wanted
to
give
him
a
home
and
take
care
of
him,
Bruno
tugged
at
our
heartstrings,
we
would
have
loved
to
have
kept
him,
but
it
was
only
right
that
he
went
back
to
the
lads
and
Auntie
Pat,
the
lads
also picked up the vet bill and more than paid for his keep at the Shelter.
