Brian The Cat Needs Your Help

Brian the Cat has been living around the school premises in Albert Park for many moons and has made many friends with students, staff members and visitors. But the great outdoors is often not that great – especially if you are a senior cat… As Brian was having his health check this winter, the vet said that he urgently needs a warm home and a loving family to take care of him. Given Brian’s friendly and sweet nature - and his celebrity status! - it didn’t take long for a teacher from the school to adopt him...and Brian has moved in with his new Dad. Both are in their golden years so they make a great team.

It was all going well for Brian until he was diagnosed with a serious intestinal disorder (on top of his arthritis) - which explained the rapid weight loss despite his good appetite. In order to keep Brian going, the vet prescribed extra medication that needs to be taken on a regular basis. With the contribution from school, Brian’s Dad managed to get the treatment bills covered, along with the initial dosage of the medication. The meds are holding Brian in a fragile stable state BUT the supply is now running out! If untreated, Brian will keep losing weight and his condition will quickly deteriorate.

Brian is due to see the vet on 11 November as he needs to continue taking his medication. And it breaks my heart to see his Dad struggling to afford the treatment costs…
