In honor of Debbie’s legacy of love and advocacy for animals, join in supporting the PDSA. Your donation will not only honor Debbie’s memory but will also make a tangible difference in the lives of countless pets in need.

Debbie loved animals and would go to demonstrations and lobby the government with letters and petitions for animal rights.

She adored cats and adopted three kittens.

The first, Gizmo, from an animal shelter, followed by two stray wild brothers from a friend’s garden: Chi Chi, black and white named after the panda, and Monroe, a ginger Tom, named after the singer Michael Monroe of band Hanoi Rocks.

Debbie would take them to the local PDSA whenever they needed veterinary care.

It was the PDSA who, when Chi Chi became ill, diagnosed him with FIV, a type of cat aids, untreatable at that time. Monroe and Gizmo both lived out good, long lives, Gizmo the first and the last, reaching the grand old age of 21.

The PDSA is a charity who care for pets whose owners cannot afford the full cost of veterinary treatment. It is often those without the financial means who love and care for the unwanted, abandoned and abused animals that require treatment, as James Bowen adopted Street Cat Bob which tugged at Debbie’s heart strings.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. Together, we can continue Debbie’s mission of making the world a better place for all creatures great and small.
