For pet owners, it’s understandably distressing when their beloved furkid suffers from a serious injury or life-threatening illness.
Unfortunately, such was the case for this woman, whose cat accidentally fell from a 7th-floor window in Yew Tee.
As her cat sustained severe injuries, a blood transfusion might be required. Thus, she is appealing for help to find suitable blood donors for the feline.
According to a Facebook post on Tuesday (10 Jan), a passer-by discovered the cat lying on the ground at an undisclosed location in Yew Tee.
The feline had apparently fallen from a height, they stated. In the photo, blood stains can be seen around its mouth and paws.
Speaking to MS News, the cat owner said hat the passer-by found the feline at about 7.30am.
Her cat, who goes by the name Kiki, allegedly fell from a 7th-floor window.
Upon discovering the cat, the passer-by brought the feline to SPCA for initial treatment.
After learning about Kiki’s whereabouts, the owner apparently rushed her to a 24-hour emergency vet hospital nearby.
According to the owner, Kiki suffered bruising and bleeding from her lungs, as well as a collapsed lung. Besides the injuries to her respiratory system, the cat also sustained fractures to her front paw, left hind leg, and the roof of her mouth.
Additionally, Kiki’s red blood cells, protein levels, and blood pressure are also getting lower. In light of this, the vet apparently advised the owner to search for suitable cat blood donors early.
According to the owner, cats must meet the below requirements in order to donate blood:
With her cat in such a pitiful condition, it must have been heartbreaking for the owner. Thankfully, the passer-by conveyed Kiki to the vet in time.
We hope Kiki will recover swiftly from her injuries and that her owner will be able to find her suitable blood donors soon.
