Katie Price clings to rescued kittens after terrifying emergency trip to vet

Katie Price was seen cradling one of her kittens as she left her theatre show on Monday, days after two of her young pets needed emergency veterinary care. The 47-year-old glamour model, accompanied by her boyfriend JJ Slater, carried the kitten to her car outside the Ellesmere Port show in Chester.

Katie had revealed that two of her kittens had been found limp by JJ. She explained on Facebook: “They were born two weeks premature and we have been bottle feeding them as well as their mum feeding them. But they've all been really healthy. We're all really attached to them, they look at me like they're second mum because obviously I feed them.”

"So JJ calls and says he thinks two of the kittens are dead because they're not moving. He showed them me and they were all limp with their tongues out, two of them. I said you need to get them to the vets straight away.

"He took them to the vet and the vet said it would be best to let them go basically, put them to sleep. I said, 'No chance they must be able to do something.' Thank God I didn't go with what the vet said. £1400 later they are now home. I'm just keeping a close eye on them. Thank god because they are like my babies.”

Doris, Katie’s cat, gave birth last month, and the star has been working tirelessly to support her kittens - even missing a planned Isle of Wight holiday.

She welcomed Doris and two other bald cats into her home last October, despite criticism from animal charities. She previously rejected a £5,000 offer from PETA to stop keeping pets.

Katie, who is a long-time animal lover, also recently introduced a cocker spaniel named Rookie to her family.

Over the weekend, Katie began her nationwide theatre tour with friend Kerry Katona, opening with a candid look back at her marriage to Peter Andre.

During An Evening with Katie and Kerry at Marine Hall in Fleetwood, the pair shared stories about their families, friendships, and failed relationships.

Katie recalled: “Well, he had a manager. When I came out, because I wanted to be with Pete and Pete wanted to be with me, I need to be careful how I word things now…” prompting Kerry to interject: “I'll say it!”

She added: “[Peter's manager] ended up managing me and Pete and... There were three of us in the marriage.”

Reflecting on the years since their split, she said: “There are memories. They were very good memories. I’ve suffered 16 years 'cause of it, from when [we] split up I've had 16 years of hell. But I'm glad now that the truth is coming out on social media and people are seeing.”
