A mum has sold the family car to help raise £5,000 to save their kitten from a killer strain of cat coronavirus. Samantha Howard, 36, says she needs the money to pay for a trial drug to save her children's beloved kitten, Nala, from FIP - an advanced form of feline Covid.
If cured, 16 week-old short-haired Nala would become the first kitten in the UK to survive the disease using the trial drug, Samantha said. She's set up a GoFundMe appeal to raise the sum needed.
Single mum-of-three Samantha, from Tyldesley, Wigan, says Nala would need 90 days of treatment and that the trial drug is being used successfully in the US.
