I would to thank you for your kind gesture with regards to the bill. The vet has informed me that you did called him when I went there to settle the outstanding amount.
Anyway I managed to speak to my neighbour's younger sister just now. Update her about Putih condition and also the estimated medical cost. I have proposed to share half the cost and also informing her that I have already settled the initial charges of RM229.00
She said she has spoken to her brother about Putih's tragic and her brother said he will talk to me once he is back from Malacca. He should be back tomorrow. So far no outcome on the proposed cost sharing yet till her brother discuss with me. Shall keep you posted in due course.
She also has asked for the vet's address so that they could visit Putih.
I hope they will agreed to share the cost so that we may not need to utilise AnimalCare funds. However I did briefly mentioned to them about some animal welfare organisation providing financial aids on subsidy basis but subject to their approval. Before I leave their house I did reiterate to them that we can share the bill equally and try not to involve the funding.
Anyway I have attached Putih photo taken at the clinic just in case may need to used it. You can see Putih's mouth at the left side has some blood stain and the jaw of this side is broken. Also Putih right cheek is swollen.
Right now, Putih is still boarded.
Beng Kai has given me his blessings to blog this story. I wanted to do it as an inspiration to all of us that we should work together and share out the responsibility of looking after the animals around us.
We are unsure whether Putih belongs to the neighbour or another neighbour, but Putih had an accident, and in order to save his life, Beng Kai did the needful, and is even willing to share the bill with his neighbour.
Great work, Beng Kai!
Our offer to help out with the bill still stands.
Get well soon, Putih.

Looks like the neighbour is NOT sharing the responsibility.
From Beng Kai:
The x-ray result showed that the center of lower left jaw is fractured. The vet advised surgery to wire the jaw together & also to insert a feeding tube. Estimated cost is about RM1000/=
Finally managed to speak to the brother. He told us Putih is actually old and its not worth it. Then I told him that his father said Putih is about 2.5 years old. He replied was his father got the age wrong. He further mentioned there is no guarantee Putih will live long and will be costly to care for after the surgery. So its not worth paying the money and advised euthanise for Putih. I told him that I dont have the heart to euthanise Putih and will try to find ways to take care of the medical bills in exchange of Putih's ownership to me. He is agreeable to the term. My wife asked him what if his father come to claim Putih, he said he will informed his father about his decision. He went on saying his father has another cat.
Dr Chan, I would like to adopt Putih but I cant have him in the house as my mom dont allow it. Is it ok for me to house Putih in a cage and place the cage at the car porch area with awning to provide shade. My concern is the heat from our weather.
Sad, isn't it (the response of the neighbour)?
We'll help Beng Kai with the bill and get Putih well again.
