Martha arrived at the Cats Protection's National Cat Centre in June 2007, approximately 12 years old, with severe dental disease, an ulcerated tongue and an airgun pellet in her throat!

The pellet was removed as were all her teeth apart from one canine. She had intensive antibiotic treatment over the next few weeks and her mouth improved enormously.

Because of her age a complete blood profile was carried out before anaesthetising her and it was found that her kidney function was not very good, the drug Fortekor was prescribed.

In October 2007 she was homed to a family who cared for her till December 2009 when they found she was finding it difficult coping with the rough and tumble of family life and would be better off in a quieter environment. On the 30th December 2009 Martha came to live with us to be fostered however she settled in so well that in February 2010 we adopted her so she will now be living with us permanently.
