Burnt cat gets the honey treatment

Marlborough Express, 6/10/2015

A Marlborough cat that looked like a ball of singed hair after getting burnt in a fire has been reunited with its owners, just in time for the birth of their new baby...

Staff at SPCA Marlborough took Lightning in and treated him while trying to track down his owners.

He was given painkillers and doused in honey to soothe burns to his paws, ears and face...

Kelly Church, of SPCA Marlborough, was Lightning's chief caregiver and said his recovery was remarkable.
