SPCA called me at the right time and place yesterday. I was at Sembawang and a cat was found abandoned by two kind ladies. I was being directed by SPCA to track the location of the abandoned cat. At first I thought it was the grey cat that I feed regularly who got ill but it wasn’t… The photo of the cat didn’t look good to me.
It is always hard not to help cats in such a condition. The two kind ladies bought the towel just to wrap her up. The towel was soiled with urine and faeces. His fur was badly matted. His jaw looks weird. He was having flu and he couldn’t walk normally. But he definitely has bright eyes. His teeth tells me that he isn’t a young cat. I updated SPCA about his condition and told them that I would take over from here.
We had an appointment with the vet in the evening and our vet was ok with us bringing another cat. Yes, he was born in such a way that his jaw was not properly located. Flu yes. He has spinal issues that cause him not be able to walk normally. We decided to name him Baby Orange and he weighs only 1.75kg.
I requested the vet to bathe him. The vet sounded a little reluctant as they were shorthanded. So they can only remove those big lumps of matted fur and we’ll have to remove the rest.
An hour when we returned to the clinic. To our surprise, the nurse on duty made an extra effort to get Baby Orange cleaned up. An antibiotics was prescribed for his flu. We’re not sure how he would cope, so we’re taking it one step at a time.
I temporarily put him with Nagar. Both were separated by a playpen.
He definitely looks better after shower. Although his eyes are teary but they still look bright to me! It still pains me when I see him sleeping. I hope he feels safe and loved.
Nagar knock knock…who’s there? Munch munch…Baby Orange eating!
