Quick, a cat had been run over outside our house

[LaranotKlara]

Still alive but bleeding. Police happens to drive by but seem a bit clueless. What should we do?

ring a vet

IME vets wont refuse emergency treatment.

It's Sunday evening I called one but straight to answer phone ):

Yes vets have an emergency vet on call 24/7. Google one close to you

Our vets go straight to an answerphone after hours, but part of the message is the 24-hour emergency number. Listen to the whole message.

if you cant get a vet, ring the rspca

google 'emergency vet' and your postcode

Most vets have emergency surgeries, call round, and drive cat straight there. Gosh i hope it is ok. This happened to us (it was our neighbour's cat) and the cat died in about five minutes. It was truly horrible, I hope this cat makes it, i have everything crossed.

Ok, the police got hold of emergency vet. Thank you. So sad ):

Bless you for caring and getting it sorted Laranot.

If that were my pet I'd be so glad there are people like you around.

Really hope the cat is ok. Will the police let you know?

Find your closest vet on Google, pick up the cat with an old towel very very carefully and get to the vet asap.

Poor little pet, our neighbours are taking it to the vet. Hope it'll make it.

If it is still alive now, that is a good sign. Please keep us posted. Poor thing.

Thank you so much for trying. So many would have just ignored it, and if anything like that happened to one of mine I'd be so grateful someone was caring and got some help.

Oh god the poor thing :(

I once resuscitated a cat. I know it sounds horrible but I did. And it bloody worked too.

I was walking home and heard a woman scream, looked across the road and a woman was sat at her gate really really upset pointing into the road. Someone had overtaken another car and hit her cat :( she couldn't do anything because she was in a wheelchair. I ran over and picked it up, not breathing at all. Tried to tell her it was gone but she just got more and more distressed so took it in and did what I'd seen in a video once!

You're not in Herts are you Lara? My cat isn't home yet..

I am in herts sour, where about are you? X

How is the cat?

I don't know. The police took it to the vets. Our neighbours gave their contact details so will fight more tomorrow, hopefully good news.

Paws crossed for the cat.

You did a really kind thing. I'm sure that kitty's owner will be very appreciative.

He's home! Thank god, I actually had a heart palpitation when I read that.

I really hope the cat is ok. Poor thing.
