THINK was started by a group of breeders and a vet who were concerned by illness and deaths in young kittens caused by conditions such as Flat-chested Kitten Syndrome (FCKS). The organisation has four main objectives: to Identify the various types of thoracic deformities that occur in kittens, Educate the general public and the veterinary profession about thoracic deformities in kittens, Fund research and help breeders and vets to Treat the condition.
THINK is a new project, so some parts of our website are still under construction. Please keep checking back for further information.
On this website you can find:
Information about Thoracic Deformities;
Information about FCK and how to treat it;
A veterinary section with technical information and an archive of x-rays and other images (available only to vets) – under construction
An online questionnaire to help us to gather information that will enable us to determine where research needs to be concentrated;
A download page, where you can download articles about FCK, data about THINK and the THINK questionnaire – under construction
Information about who is involved in THINK;
Contact information
A gift catalogue where you can buy gifts for friends and help THINK at the same time – under construction
