A cat with a severely matted coat has been given a new lease of life after he was rescued from the streets and given a thorough haircut.
Henry was separated from his original owners when they moved many years ago, apparently unable to locate him before they left. For the past three years he has been living in a lady’s garden in Bathgate, where he was fed and looked out for but as she was moving away he could no longer stay there.
Cats Protection’s West Lothian branch was called into action and volunteers managed to entice him in out of the cold. Henry’s long fur was so matted there was no chance a good grooming was going to cut it so his black coat had to all come off.
