Dear Friends,

Wawa was a pretty tri-color calico who was a community cat regularly fed by an elderly taxi driver. She has apparently been sick for a while but no one knew.

Last week, caregivers in the area called taxi uncle at 6 am in the morning and asked him to send Wawa to the vet because she was breathless and panting under a car. She was put on oxygen at the vet. Blood tests and x-rays were ran to determine the root cause. Blood tests indicated FIV+, X-rays showed an enlarged heart, and there were sounds of fluid in the lungs.

The next few days was a strange ordeal of her health bouncing between stability and near-death. A couple of doctors got together to discuss the results but were puzzled. Her condition could be a multitude of different ailments. In her final 2 days, she turned strangely violent and insane. She bit a nurse and her tooth dropped out. She started chewing her tongue, reducing it to a mangled mess. She was truly suffering! 5 nurses tried to stop her from chewing her tongue. She even used her paw to scratch out shreds of her tongue.

The taxi driver caregiver went down to assess the situation and couldn’t bear the sight of her suffering anymore. He made the tough decision of putting her down. Poor Wawa….I pray that she’s free from pain and suffering now

The doctor is so nice as to offer to do a post-mortem at no cost. We’re awaiting the post-mortem results. Attached is a picture of Wawa’s tongue.

The bill is not cheap because Wawa has to be on daily oxygen. Please kindly help out the taxi uncle with this if it’s within your means to do so. He feeds and rescues alot of strays, responsibly sterilises the strays in his area and keep his feeding area clean. Please do help him out. The bill is attached, the total is $839.95.
