A request from Nieza Abdullah from Shah Alam (0132771739):
Hi Dr Chan, sorry to write to you at this hour. I just found a kitten at garbage dumping site @ my townhouse at 9pm tonight. Found him/her during feeding the cats at that area. This is the first time i saw this kitten and theres no sign of nursing mother nearby. I walked back home but later came back as i couldnt stop thinking about him. Furthermore rain started shortly after that. I guess he is about a month old or less coz his eyes are still blue. Also noticed he has R eye infection. I waited for a while for the mother to come but none. So i decided to bring him home. I never rescued a kitten before and i dont have ideas what to do. At home theres only kibbles and wet food for adults. I searched for pet shops but they already closed as it was already past 9. I tried to drive to shah alam vet and luckily they still open until 9.30, but i didnt bring the kitten. I wanted to buy milk and syringes but they ran out of stock (for milk). So the shop assistant askee me to buy fresh milk Dutch Lady for the timebeing. I heard that cats cannot tolerate human milk, but she said this particular brand of fresh milk is not harmful.she asked me to bring the kitten tomorrow. I also bought a can of wet food just in case he wants to eat.
I tried to force feed him using syringe but failed. He refused, i managed to give less than 1 ml. He also didnt want to lick. I noticed he started to groom himself so i thought he would be able to lick the milk and food. I felt very sad, frustrated and helpless as i could not help him as i wish. Now he fell asleep and snuggled in between my feet. But i also noticed he is ?coughing during sleep. Im not confident enough to take good care of him as i dont have experience and i work long hours. It would be very grateful if somebody out there is willing to adopt him. But for the timebeing i will try my best. Wish me luck.
