Update Tue 4 May
Sandy has passed on a few weeks back at the vet's :(((
This poor girl was found outside my home earlier today.
She caught my attention when I heard a cat meowing in pain and that was when I caught a boy trying to prod at her/pull out her already clumpy fur with his FOOT, while she was hiding between 2 flower pots.
To cut a long story short, after I went ballistic at the boy, i rushed her to the vet for a check-up.
The vet says that Sandy is an old cat, is weak and probably has cat flu. She also suspects that she might have kidney problems as well :( They haven't ran a blood test on her cos the attending vet will be going for a long sabbatical and the other vet is not interested in taking over the case.
Note that Sandy has a tipped ear - could be a case of owner dumping her after finding out that she's sick......poor girl :(
Am thinking of bringing Sandy to Dr Ling but she's fully booked this weekend, so i really do need someone who can foster Sandy after she gets discharged from the clinic tomorrow at 5pm, cos i can't bring her back home with me.
If you know of anyone who can help foster her, do drop me a message.
Btw, Sandy is a very sweet girl with a mild temperament. She's probably not feeling too well but she still purrs lots when you pat her : )
Update 2000h
i just came back from the vet.
Sandy has just been diagnosed with a mild case of FIV and anemia :( but other than that, she is good. i was worried there might be a prob with her kidneys, but thank God she's fine.
i hope to find someone who will take her in long-term, cos i'm not able to bring her home.
she is doing much better today - stronger and eating well. and she looks prettier too lol, cos the vet asst gave her a good cleaning :)
right now, Sandy is with a very kind foster who will take care of her till she gets her strength back.
do let me know if you know anyone who's kind enough to take Sandy in?
