Many Singaporeans treat their pets like family. So when they receive news of their fur babies having an illness, they would do all they can to help their pet.

3-6 months to live without donations

When the owner of the 13-year-old cat received news that her fur baby had leukaemia, she was understandably devastated.

She initially thought that her cat only had 3-6 months to live if she doesn’t receive treatment.

In her Facebook post, she shared that the cat’s red and white blood cells, as well as platelet count, are all extremely low.

 

This means that her cat’s immune system would not have the ability to fight infections or viruses.

Cat requires blood donations

According to the owner, her cat would have an extremely low chance of survival if she went for conventional chemotherapy treatment.

Later, she learned of an alternative treatment method — advanced cell therapy treatment where cells from the blood of healthy cats will be transferred to her fur kid.

Now with renewed hope, the owner is urgently is seeking blood donors for her cat, who would need 2 donations, once every 3 months.

Eligible cat donors will need to fulfil the following criteria:

  • Healthy (FIV/ FELV negative)
  • 3kg and above
  • Below 10 years old

Is an important part of her family

Recalling her 12-year journey with her cat, the owner shared that she was a very gentle and smart feline.
