Cougar was actually neutered before his first vaccination but Li Lian had to get a separate the receipt (from his other medical treatment), hence she is only claiming for it now. We have subsidised RM100 for Cougar’s neutering.

Subject: Application for subsidy for Cougar’s castration
To: Chan Kah Yein <chankahyein@gmail.com>Dear Yein,
I finally got a friend to getclinic to write me an updated receipt for Cougar’s castration so you will be getting it, together with the application form, in the next couple of days. Meanwhile, attached are three photos of Cougar.As mentioned earlier (when I first wrote in to you), since it was Chinese New Year, we enlisted the help of a friend to send Cougar to the vet (a malay vet, so not closed over CNY) and hence was not able to brief the vet directly about how to take his picture. Consequently, the before & after pictures do not show Cougar’s face – sorry about this.
As for Cougar’s background story, I believe I’ve sent this to you already. If there’s any other info you require from m, please let me know. Thank you.
Regards,
Lian
About Cougar:
Cougar’s story: Alina and I found him in a residential neighbourhood, thin and starving. On closer look, we saw a part of his chin had been torn off (vet said he had been abused or maybe he hurt himself trying to eat from a open tin can). We rushed him to the vet and got him stitched up. Iniitally, we boarded him hoping that we could find someone to take him and because we already have two cats. Then we found out he was FIV positive so it was clear to us it would be very hard to re-home him. And so we brought him back (he was quarantined to separate him from our other cats). Two days later, however, he came down with parvo. Everyone, including the vet, thought it would be the end of him, but Cougar valiantly fought for his life. He fought so hard, we decided to help him live. Every two days, we took him to the vet to give him his doses of immune booster, anti-viral medication, antibiotics etc, not to mention drips (he as throwing up blood). Even though he was finally pronounced recovered, he went on to experience intermittent bouts of fever so we still keep him indoors.
