Tinker was seen by the vet yesterday morning and sadly the cancer is way to aggressive for anything to be done for him :cry3: We the team at Animal Lifeline UK and Anna at Chester Cat Care are all completely devastated at the news and so wish there was something that could be done to help him. :cry3:
Tinker will remain with his foster mum until he starts to show signs of not enjoying his life. Tinker is currently eating well and is said to be enjoying all the love he is being shown.
Please please cross post about Animal Lifeline UK so next time this happens hopefully we won't be too late to save them.
Many thanks to everyone that has helped support Tinker and us your help as always is truly appreciated.

Best wishes Kelly-joy and The Animal Lifeline UK Team

I am happy to say we found someone to help foster Tinker and he is off to his foster home as we speak and thanks to the lovely Owen at Wrexham vets he will be having his op tomorrow as well, so please please keep everything crossed for this poor baby tomorrow.

Some of you may have read Tinker's thread here: http://www.forum.animallifelineuk.org/viewtopic.php?f=253&t=22525

He has been fostered here in Oxfordshire, while he's undergone tests to find out what's going on with the little guy. To cut a long story short, he needs an operation in the next day or two max to amputate his leg to save his life. He has a fibrosarcoma on his leg. It looks like it hasn't yet reached his lymph nodes. As soon as it gets that far it is game over for this little chappie. :'(

Unfortunately he cannot have this op down here. He needs to go to Wrexham Veterinary Care urgently for this treatment, so we are desperately looking for someone who may be able to offer a calm, quiet foster home for him nearby while he recovers from this op. I cannot stress enough that this is a race against time for Tinker and if he doesn't have this operation the only thing we can do is to give him palliative care as this cancer takes over.

If you are in the Wrexham area and think you can help to foster this special boy please can you email us at info@animallifelineuk.org

PLEASE, even if you cannot help do pass this on to friends, family, colleagues... anyone who may be able to find us somewhere for Tinker.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this.

Best wishes Kelly-joy and The Animal Lifeline UK Team:)
