Hello!
My name is Wilbur and I am the
Derby & District resident cat.
I came into the care of the Derby and District
Branch in March 2003. I was in a horrible state and was living as
a stray.
I am getting on a bit, I think I was about 12 or 13 when they
picked me up. I'd never been neutered so wasn't very fragrant, I
had a badly infected mouth so couldn't eat so was underweight but
my tummy was bloated because of worms.
I didn't have much fur and what I did have was caked in dry mud
which made my skin sore. Yep, I was in a poor way and when they
came and got me they feared the worst. But I was taken to a vet
and stayed in for four days before going to the branch's foster
unit.
I love it in the foster unit. It wasn't long until my fur was
back, my mouth healed and I put weight on. However I do have a long
term medical problem and have a kind of nerve damage in my head
which means I often have the shakes - it doesn't affect my everyday
life that much but I'm told it makes me very special and as such
they'd like me to stay here with them for good. I'm all for that!
So on these pages I'll be keeping a diary, letting you know how
I'm getting on and what's happening (I see and hear most of the
Derby & District gossip!).
