Luna Animal Rescue has recently helped animals such as Eleanor Rigby, a six-week-old kitten.

Eleanor Rigby has already had an operation to remove her right eye after being abandoned with untreated cat flu.

After the care given to her by Luna, Eleanor has been adopted and found her forever home.

Woody was helped by Luna Animal Rescue (Image: Jade Green) It's also helped three-year-old spaniel Woody, who was found by Luna with a skin disease called mange, had been underfed and had been brutally attacked.

Woody suffered an injury caused by blunt force trauma to his left leg, leaving it withered with no movement and no sensation at the bottom. His claws had been ground down from being dragged along the floor.

After being left unattended for weeks, it became impossible to repair and Woody needed a complex amputation of his leg.

Woody is now all healed and settled in a loving Luna foster home with his new companion and loves to cuddle up to everyone.
