Merlin was discovered in a mamak stall waiting patiently for food scraps from customers, but was receiving none. I noticed that he had sores on his hind legs and forelimbs and was limping. Later I consulted a vet and was informed that he could have sporo. Rather than to leave him at the mamak stall to infect other cats, I went back to rescue him and brought him to the vet for treatment.
