Vet 1 quoted $1,700. Community cat with salivation, bad breath and no appetite fed by Auntie for past 2 years.
Auntie has $400. Mavis (donor) pays $300 and lends Auntie $1,000 to be paid in 4 monthly instalments.
Auntie decided to get cat treated by Vet 1 although she has 50% lower fees from Vet 2.
Auntie feeds a few community cats daily twice a day using her income as a cleaner.
Where: HDB estate in Singapore.
When: 3 Jul 2024
How it happened: Mavis was in the area for recreation, met the Auntie. Mavis is a hamster lover and had 2 dwarf hamsters treated by me. Phoned me for quotation.
Why it means so much to me?
Community cats need to be fed to survive as food courts have had culled or banned them nowadays.
The feeder is usually an auntie who pays their food. Veterinary treatment usually need donations.
Auntie could have saved around $900 if treated by me.
Every dollar saved helps to sustain her feeding bills in the long term.
