MOONLIGHTING AT THE SPCA:
Remember Yao Huang and Febe’s story?
👩🏽😺 Introducing Khash (our Head of Clinic Services) who mostly fosters cats for palliative care because she wants them to live out their final days in the comfort of a warm and loving home.
With death as a certainty, it takes Khash a while to make the decision to foster. Despite telling herself that goodbye is on the horizon, she still develops an attachment to the cat. Some situations make the farewell much harder. Khash remembers when one of her kittens developed a strong bond with her foster cat. After the foster cat’s passing, the kitten started play-biting the body, perhaps hoping that her buddy would wake up to play like usual. As it became clear that he was gone, the kitten lay down and slept beside him until it was time for the burial.
There is also the crashing disappointment of false hopes. One of Khash’s fosters, Nacho, started to thrive at home but suddenly regressed and stopped eating. Khash desperately tried syringe-feeding him, placing him on fluid therapy, and giving appetite stimulants. The ‘stalling’ came to an end when Khash recognised that Nacho was losing the fight. Khash says that she sometimes denies herself the time to grieve. Once a cat leaves, she fosters another so that as many of them as possible can enjoy their last days.
The SPCA always needs fosterers, even more so with the rise in abandonment cases and fall in adoption rates. If you are keen to open your heart/home to an animal in need, please email enquiries@spca.org.sg. We are committed to providing guidance and support in your fostering journey.
