Clips for Cliff
UPDATE: A massive thank you to everyone who contributed to Marta’s Clip for Cliff. You raised a magnificent 3395 euros, which covered the surgery and will help pay towards the aftercare he needs.
Cliff had his surgery on 9th July as planned and the operation went well. He stayed in overnight and is now home and starting his recovery.
Marta went ahead with cutting her hair even shorter and her plaits have been sent to the cancer charity to make wigs.
Without your support, none of this could have happened and all at Les Amis thank each and every one of you.

Les Amis supporter Marta Kepinska is going to be raising money for Cliff’s knee surgery and stem cell transplant by cutting off her waist length hair to as short as it will go – as long as she gets sponsorship.
For those who don’t know Cliff, he is a Griffon X who arrived in foster care with Martyn Cox and Jan Bentley in June 2023 with ear infections, incontinence and problems with his rear legs. He transferred to Lifetime Foster when the extent of his problems became clear. Over the last year, the dreadful ear infections have cleared but have left him completely deaf, he is still incontinent through a botched tail docking, but this is well managed to keep him clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, his back legs have recently been causing him extreme pain and discomfort. A visit to Les Amis specialist orthopaedic vet reveals he can be helped with surgery to his left knee and stem cell therapy in his right one. Even with our hefty discount, we still need to find €3000. And surgery is planned for the beginning of July.
So, step forward Marta, who adopted Pauli, a gorgeous 5-year-old Patou, a year ago from Les Amis following her knee surgery. Marta’s waist length hair is around 45 to 50cm in length and she says for every 60 euros raised she will cut off 1cm of her hair. She is prepared to go the whole way if we can raise €3000. Every cent raised from this fundraiser will go towards the cost of Cliff’s surgery.
We have 4 weeks to raise 3000 euros as Cliff’s operation is booked for 9th July. Can you help us ?
