Miss Raab, 36, of Dukes View, Donnington, had taken the kittens into the practice last week and was told Maddy was suffering from a deteriorating leg condition and needed to be put to sleep. She said Maddy was in the poorer condition of the two kittens when she took them on in December. “Tammy became my little girl. She used to follow me everywhere. When it came time for them to be neutered, Paul took them to Wrekin View and explained that Maddy had a bad leg.

“The vet called me later in the day to say the leg condition was deteriorating and the kindest thing would be to put Maddy to sleep. That left me in bits but I agreed. I didn’t want her to suffer.” She alleged: “When Paul went to collect Tammy the same day he knew instantly that the cat they had at the vets was Maddy. It was Tammy they had put to sleep. A staff member told me subsequently that a veterinary nurse had picked Tammy up by mistake when it was time for Maddy to be put to sleep. I was so upset.”
Wrekin View Vets, in Wellington, has refused to comment on the matter but Miss Raab said they had now given her two new kittens. She said she was also in the process of making a complaint to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. Miss Raab said the vets were returning both cats’ ashes to her next week as well as a memorial plaque.
