Cat rescuers have put out a Christmas appeal to get a "wobbly kitty" back on her feet.

Dolly is being cared for at Cats Protection's centre in Bredhurst, near Gillingham, requires surgery on her knee caps so she can be more comfortable and mobile.

She arrived at the centre due to a change in her previous owner's circumstances.

Vets discovered the four-year-old feline has a condition called luxating patellas in her hind legs which means her knee caps are slipping out of place and popping back in.

This means her mobility is not very good and she can be uncomfortable.

Staff at the centre in Matts Hill Road, Hartlip, have launched a JustGiving page to fund the £1,500 needed for Dolly's surgery.

So far, they have raised over £400.

Adrian Ferne, centre manager, said: "Dolly has her whole life ahead of her, so the vets have recommended a surgical option to ensure the best quality of life for this young cat with a lot of love to give.

"Until she is ready to be rehomed, she will remain in the care of staff and volunteers at the adoption centre, where she will receive the love and care she needs."
