Fundraiser launched to treat three Galway kittens struck by cars – ‘We simply can't do this without you'
Galway Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is organising the fundraiser to fund surgeries for three kittens: Allegro, Cadenza and Wednesday. The plea was issued on fundraising platform GoFundMe and said that all three cats are under a year old and have suffered 'life-altering' injuries after being struck by cars. A target of €1,800 has been set by the charity to provide essential care to the kittens on their road to recovery following the incidents. All three cats now face 'extensive' treatment to live pain-free lives, with the charity pleading for funds to tackle the 'mounting' vet bills. Allegro, the first cat affected, was discovered in Tuam with a shattered jaw. He was transferred to Briarhill Vets and received treatment that saw his jaw wired back into place. Galway SPCA says it is hoped that he will regain full use of his mouth. Cadenza arrived at care with a severe head wound and requiring surgery to remove her tail after being struck by a car. Further examinations revealed that the kitten suffers with constant pain due to a hip joint that moves out of place – causing 'intense pain' with every movement. Amputation had been considered but the charity has opted against that course of action due to the negative impact it would have on Cadenza's quality of life when combined with the loss of her tail. Galway SPCA says the only long-term solution is to fuse the joint surgically, requiring upwards of €2,000 to fund the cost of the procedure. Wednesday, the third cat affected, was also struck by a car. The tragic kitten was not taken to a vet until a week after the initial incident, worsening her condition. A hernia was the initial diagnosis, but Wednesday's condition was worsened as her muscles had started to heal around the damage. Now, four weeks after an initial operation, Wednesday is recovering but remains at risk of requiring further surgeries if the implanted grafts do not hold in place. On the fundraising page, Galway SPCA said: 'They may all be under a year old, but these three little souls, Allegro, Cadenza, and Wednesday share more than just youth in common. 'Each of them has suffered life-altering injuries after being hit by cars, and all three now face extensive veterinary treatment just to have a chance at a normal, pain-free life. 'We're once again coming to you, hat in hand, to ask for your help. The vet bills are mounting, and we simply can't do this without you.'

Former LSU wide receiver and NFL prospect Kyren Lacy dies at 24
Former Louisiana State University (LSU) wide receiver Kyren Lacy has died, the school's athletic department announced Sunday. He was 24. 'We're saddened to learn of the tragic passing of former LSU Football student-athlete Kyren Lacy,' LSU said in a statement to CNN. 'Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones, as well as his former teammates and coaches impacted by his passing.' According to CNN affiliate WAFB, Lacy was found dead in Houston early Sunday morning. The school did not provide a cause of death. CNN has reached out to the Harris County Medical Examiner's office, Lacy's attorney and agent for comment. The LSU Football family mourns the loss of Kyren Lacy In January, Lacy was charged with negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run and reckless operation of a vehicle after police said Lacy caused a December 17 automobile accident in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, that killed 78-year-old Herman Hall and injured two other people. Lacy turned himself in and was later released on $151,000 bail on January 12, according to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office's online records. According to a January police news release, Lacy was behind the wheel of a 2023 Dodge Charger, driving 'recklessly' and illegally passing other vehicles while driving at a 'high rate of speed.' He is accused of 'crossing the centerline and entering the northbound lane while in a designated No-Passing Zone.' The police stated that Lacy's actions caused the driver of a 2017 Kia Cadenza to swerve over the centerline to avoid impact with the Charger. The Cadenza then 'collided head-on with a southbound 2017 Kia Sorento.' Lacy's agent, Rocky Arceneaux, said in January that the facts of the case 'will ultimately demonstrate the truth, but we respect the need for a full and thorough investigation.' A grand jury was scheduled to start hearing evidence Monday, WAFB reports, according to his lawyer. Two days after the fatal accident, Lacy posted on X that he was declaring for the 2025 NFL draft, which takes place from April 24-26. Lacy did not play in the Tigers' 44-31 Texas Bowl victory against Baylor University on December 31. The Thibodaux, Louisiana, native played the last three seasons at LSU after transferring from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Last season, Lacy was tied for most receiving touchdowns in the Southeastern Conference with nine. He started 12 games, catching 58 passes for 866 yards. In 39 games, Lacy caught 112 passes for 1,692 yards and 16 touchdowns with the Tigers.
