慈辉 left with an asthma attack on 2 February and 小黑 with cancer spread to her lungs on 3 February. Both saw each other everyday at Hougang and kept a distance. When they were both brought home on the last day of 2022, they still couldn’t see eye to eye:).
Mel took care of them. When Mel was on holiday, I would cat sit all the cats. 小黑’s appetite was amazing. 慈辉 was a fussy cat. When she was abandoned, she was already coughing. She already had a chronic issue. We brought her to the vet shortly after we took her home. Gave her medicine and supplements but nothing helped. For her, things happened so fast. She was so perfect and the next day the asthma attack simply took her away. We sent her to the clinic and provided her with oxygen therapy… even when she was home…
小黑 was a tough cat. She was already weak and yet she still hang on for more than a week. It’s was so hard for us to watch. GABA was given to her to relieve her pain and to calm her down.
Both of them were well taken care of even when they were community cats. In March 2021, myself and another feeder shared the vet cost to sent 小黑 for tooth extraction since she was drooling terribly. She was released when she was fit. 慈辉 was well taken care by a young couple who loved her dearly. She was given treats almost everyday. After they had their meal, I would still leave food for them for the rest of the night. Same thing goes to all community cats that I’m feeding.
Both were cremated side by side. Hope if they meet again, they’ll live in harmony:).
May the merits accumulated be dedicated to their favourable rebirth.
