A woman has been left pleading with the British public for help to prevent her cat from having both back legs amputated.
Holly Goldspink is the owner of Peanut.
The poor feline was seriously injured by barbed wire while playing outside.

He ended up cutting himself so badly that you could see the bone in his legs.
His back right leg has already been amputated as a result of the trauma, but now Holly is trying to raise funds to cover the cost of care to help save the other leg.
After getting sepsis in his other back leg, which was also injured in the accident, surgeons say it is still salvageable – but the care he requires won't come cheap.
Holly, 31, from Fakenham, Norfolk, said: "As soon as I found him I rushed him straight to the vets, both his legs were punctured and there was so much blood.
"We waited 24 hours to find out his leg wasn't salvageable, then he caught sepsis in his left leg.
"That was five weeks ago, and nothing got better.
"So we've had to give him to the vets to stay overnight until he's not sick anymore – but we have no idea how long that will be."
Holly's insurance covered the initial surgery and vet bills, although the second hospital trip is proving costly.

The accident happened while she was on maternity leave after the birth of her new-born – which has put the family under huge strain.
A GoFundMe has been set up to help with Peanut's vet care, and currently Holly has surpassed her £500 target, but is still looking for more.
She hope the money will ensure he makes a full recovery and is returned back home.
She has so far shelled out around £600 for care, and has exceeded her insurance level of cover.
