Seeking donations to treat community cat's liver infection

[kurocatlady]

Hi everyone, I'm appealing for donations for a community cat (who goes by the name of Boy), who is battling a complex liver infection. On 14 April, she was rescued in critical condition, but in the past week, she's finally on the right antibiotic and recovering! Unfortunately, the vet bills are high as she's been at the vet for almost a month. Her bills have reached almost 10,000 Singapore dollars (SGD) now and we're still about 4,000 SGD short of the projected eventual total after fundraising from friends and neighbours.

All details about her condition and vet bills are on her GoGetFunding page: Give Boy a 2nd Chance: Help this Community Cat Fight Liver Infection!

Prior to this post, this is what we have already done/considered over the past month:

• Raised funds through neighbours, friends and social media including local cat network groups. The response has been encouraging and these funds have been listed as offline donations on the page. But given the large bill, we've pretty much exhausted all our resources by this time.
• Requested to pay the vet bills by installment. However, we're already on a 25% stray cat discount rate, which is their highest discount tier, so our request was declined.
• Reaching out to animal welfare organisations, but AWOs are themselves struggling due to high rentals, inflation and increased pet abandonment post-Covid. The only non-profit clinic in Singapore run by the SPCA is overwhelmed.

In addition to Boy, we are caring for about 15 community cats in our hood. These cats were previously abandoned and they do not belong to any one. Over the past 7 years, it's just been me and one neighbour caring for them and getting them any medical assistance that they need, with occasional donations from other neighbours. We need to clear our bills in a timely manner so as not to affect the well-being of other community cats, as it's not easy for us to find a vet clinic that works well with community cats, and are understanding to rescuers' financial constraints.

Any help sharing about our fundraising to people whom this may matter to, or a personal contribution would be immensely appreciated!
