Fosterer required urgently for cat with mange (Jessy Lian)

21st June – Jessy wrote to say the poor cat passed away this morning.  May she be in a better existence now.  


This is a request from Jessy Lian (jessylian@yahoo.com)

Dear Dr Chan,

Kindly refer to the attach file for the photo of the cat (now named Happy).

Me, Venus & Nelson (Venus’s boyfriend) send the cat to the vet for her mange treatment. 

According to the Doctor:-

~ Happy is estimate to be around 2-3 mths old. 
~ She’s very dehydrated & skinny.
~ Had diarrhea.
~ Her body temperature is kind of low.
~ She had mange on her head, ears & other parts of her body, but the most severe would be on her head & ears.
~ She can hardly open her eyes too. Doc clean her eyes & apply some gel onto her eyes.


At 1st, the Doctor refuse to let Happy boarding at the vet, but after some discussion he say can temporary boarding Happy in a separate cage, away from other boarding pets. Venus & Nelson couldn’t foster Happy cos they both have dogs at their home & had no friends that could help foster Happy. I also couldn’t foster Happy cos I have 5 cats under my care, and 1 of them was diagnosed with FeLV a month ago. Moreover, my mom doesn’t allow me to foster strays!

Venus live at Puchong & she will be on trip in 2 days, Nelson also has company trip/job posting or something. Nelson paid RM400 to the vet as the boarding fee for ‘as long as possible’. I live nearby, so I could visit Happy anytime (when I’m free).

I am most WILLING to transport her to wherever the fosterer is!  I just need volunteer to foster her & Nelson says he will bear all the charges for her medical fees and whatever cost to cure Happy.

P/S: The photo was taken from SPCA Facebook page. I forgot to bring my camera with me & my handphone has problem on taking photo recently, so NO photos from consultation at the vet.

Thanks for posting this on your blog, Dr.Chan!
