This is the story of a family pet who has become a community celebrity in Donnington.

 

Fizzy is a pet of a Donnington Teenager who is now aged 15.

 

At the age of 7, Ann-Marie rescued two cats that had been dumped in a shed as part of an unwanted litter of four, the other two kittens were taken by others.

 

Ann-Marie and Fizzy have now lived with their family in Donnington for around six years without any problems or complaints.

 

In approximately summer 2006 it was discovered that Fizzy a little black and white cat was hanging around outside Donnington Medical Practice where she was receiving positive attention from the kind patients entering and leaving the practice.

 

Sometime afterwards, staff at the practice started feeding the cat (Fizzy). Initially only bits ‘n’ pieces outside.

 

After sometime, these bits ‘n’ pieces became a bowl of food and water outside the building.

 

As time went on, the bowl of food was brought into the foyer of the building with staff and patients welcoming the cat in.

 

Ann-Marie became aware that her cat was not coming home as regular as she used to. The family soon discovered that Fizzy was being fed at the doctors and advised the Practice Manager that the Cat could start hanging around the area even more.

 

Despite the family advising the Practice about the nature of the Cat they carried on feeding her and making her welcome, the family new where she was and new she was safe.

 

As time went on, it became a standing joke when the family went for prescriptions etc.

 

Until, the evening of 20^th March 2008 when the Practice Manager of Donnington Medical Practice phoned the family saying,

 

 

You may or not be a cat lover, but lets face it, something is fundamentally wrong here and its not with the Cat or the family, it is certainly an issue with the Practice Manager who has been the cause of what they perceive as a problem.

 

The Practice fed the cat despite being advised it was not and is not a stray.

The Practice have never expressed any concern previously.

The Practice has welcomed the cat into the premises.

The Practice have coaxed the Cat away from its home.

 

As you can appreciate, the call from the Practice Manager of Donnington Medical Practice has caused some considerable upset to the Children.
