A cat rescue in Bradford is dealing with a horrific case of cat cruelty which left a kitten severely injured. 

Bradford Cat Watch Rescue and Sanctuary (BCWR) took Rosa into their care three weeks ago. 

She was covered in a substance believed to be fibreglass resin or something similar.

Vets treated her for injuries on her legs and face, including painful, bloody skin and a lack of fur. 

She was placed on IV fluids for the first two weeks while her dressings were initially changed twice a day. 

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

She has been receiving round the clock care as well as strong pain relief and antibiotics. 

The rescue’s founder Katie Lloyd said: “It is exactly three weeks since this little kitten arrived with us.

“Whilst we don’t know what exactly led to her horrific injuries affecting her legs and face we have been literally nursing her around the clock for three weeks.

“Our best guess is that the substance she was covered in was likely to be fibreglass resin or something similar.

“We cannot believe how brave beautiful Rosa is.

Bradford Telegraph and Argus:

“Everyone involved in her care and beyond is so invested and totally rooting for her recovery.

“We are currently trying to wean her off recovery liquid, however she would rather not chew so we will continue with the recovery liquid until she feels ready to eat. We will keep trying. 

“Rosa’s road to recovery remains in its infancy and we have a very long road ahead of us.”

The rescue has spent more than £1,000 on specialist silicone dressings alone to aid Rosa’s healing.
