Councillor gives paw-ly kitty early Christmas present

A Douglas councillor has given a street cat in the Phillipines a happy Christmas after spotting it was ill.

Douglas South member Frank Schuengel was working in Manila when he spotted a group of cats living in a car park and noticed one was sick.

He took her to a vet who found a bacterial infection and decided to keep her in for treatment - she'll be blind in one eye.

Frank wished her Merry Christmas and revealed he's called her Star!

There’s a group of cats living in the car park here. They’re all well looked after but the is one seems sick, so her Christmas present is a trip to the vet. pic.twitter.com/NGsGqmQRGg
