Medical Subsidy For Severely Injured Cat (Chia Lee Huas)

We received this application (below) from Ms Chia Lee Hua. The bill is RM2550.00. Items in the bill includes 6-days IV drip, 31 days of hospitalisation with daily wound cleaning and oral medication. We managed to contact the clinic and was informed that the cat was brought in a critically injured condition. The hospitalisation was necessary as wound dressing had to be done daily due to the severity of the injuries and medication administered orally. The cat was also quite feral and fierce in behaviour and handling the cat was not easy. The vet has already given a discount of RM300 and the neutering was done free of charge.
Ms Chia has settled the bill in full.
We also called and spoke with Ms Chia. According to Ms Chia, she feeds the neighbourhood cats and has one pet cat of her own. Ms Chia said she will be getting the neighbourhood cats neutered as soon as she can catch them. Currently, this cat, now named Ah Mao, is in a cage in Ms Chia’s porch. Ms Chia has spent quite a bit on food and necessities for this cat since post-op care is still needed. After work, Ms Chia spends hours sitting with Ah Mao to accompany him, to help in his recovery.There is also a pregnant cat in the neighbourhood and after this cat has delivered, Ms Chia will get her spayed (once the cat is done nursing her kittens).
We will be subsidising the bill for Ah Mao upon receiving all the documentation from Ms Chia. We have also liaised with PetFinder.my and advised Ms Chia to also apply to PetFinder.my so that we can jointly subsidise this case with them.
The photos below were taken during the recovery period and there is no photo which showed the extent of the injuries when the cat was first brought in. However, the clinic verified that the cat was brought in in a very critical condition.
The translation of the emails below was done by our volunteer, Chun Eng. Many thanks, Chun Eng! (I should smack myself for not having learnt to read Chinese!)

Hi, as my English command is not very good, I hope you allow me to communicate with you in Chinese.
???????????????????,???????????.
I got to know from my neighbor about your organisation and I hope to seek your assistance.

On 28/6/2013, I found an injured male cat at my doorstep. He is one of the strays I feed. There was a bad wound on his front left leg. I tried applying medication on his wound and caged him up for recovery for a few days. However, there was no improvement and the cat was suffering. I decided to bring him to the vet and the vet told me that his wound was badly infected by bacteria. The vet told me that blood test, surgery, drips, antibiotics, etc were required to treat the cat. (please see attached photos) And, it would take one to two months to heal.
?????,???????????????????,?????????????(RM2,000++) ?????????????,????????
During that period of time, the vet found out that he was a stray cat, hence he advised me to neuter the cat. However, the cat’s medical expenses have already exceeded my financial capacity (RM2,000++). The vet was kind enough to perform the neutering procedure for free.
8?11?2013???????,?????????????,??????RM2550(??????).
The cat was discharged on 11/8/2013. The vet gave me discount on the hospitalization charges, but the final bill came to RM2550 (please refer to attached copy of the bill)
???????????, ???????.??????????????,????????????????,?????..
After the cat has come home, he wounded his neck due to excessive scratching. I house him temporary at my car porch and clean his wound daily.
???????,?????????.??????. ?????????,????????????????.?????????????.??????????????.
I wanted to save the cat although he is just a stray. Unfortunately, I have limited financial capacity. I have an adopted cat and 3 other stray cats to look after. One of them is pregnant.
I hope to get subsidy from your organisation and I also hope the cat will recover soon.
The wound is big. it was not able to move its leg. I have to cage the cat.

Translation:
Ms. Chia explained that the vet actually suggested to her to discharge the cat two weeks after the treatment. As that cat was having such a bad open wound, both her husband and her who work long hours, were not able to take care of the cat. The vet told her that the wound in that cat was infected by some kind of bacteria that is contagious to human as well as other animals; frequent wound dressing was required.
As Ms. Chia is feeding other stray cats in her area, she didnt want other cats to get infected by the bacteria carried by that wounded cat. In order for the wounded cat to recover properly and for the safety of other stray cats under her care, she decided to continue board ing the wounded cat at the clinic.

How are you? I am happy and grateful about your concern.
??????????????.
I hereby attach a few photos which I took a few days ago to update you on the condition of the cat.
????????????????,??????????????,???????,?????????????.??????????,?????????.
Currently, Iam puttingthe cat into the cage. The cat scratched its neck excessively due to itch, until it bruised its neck. The yellow stain is the medication. I put an Elizabeth collar around its neck as I was afraid that it’s wound would get worse. The cat has been having diarrhoea for the last few days and I have tried feeding him different cat food.

The cat outside the cage is a pregnant cat.
