17-year-old Scottish Fold cat from Hong Kong called Ar Fu abandoned in knapsack at S’pore space deck – Mothership.SG

Cat rescuers in Singapore just recently took an abandoned male Scottish Fold cat into their care.

Angeline Teo, a volunteer with Project LUNI, a regional non-profit concentrated on rehoming and looking after street cats, informed Mothership that the cat had actually been abandoned at a space deck.

He had actually obviously been left at deep space deck in a family pet knapsack, in addition to his medical card and vaccination records.

The man who discovered him consequently handed the cat, in his knapsack, over to Project LUNI‘s cat lounge in Little India, a location where rescued cats are available for adoption.

Cat has a number of illness

The cat’s files revealed that his owner was from Hong Kong, and he was born there in October 2006.

The center he went to lay at Sha Tsiu Road, and his name was Ar Fu.

After his desertion, Ar Fu was given a vet by Project LUNI volunteers.

Unfortunately, it was found that he had a number of health concerns such as cardiac arrest, anaemia, ear infection, possible kidney concerns, and due to his age, arthritis.

Due to his condition, Ar Fu is presently on medication 3 times a day.

“Unfortunately, [the cat] has actually needed to be hurried to veterinarian numerous times just recently due the build-up of fluid [in his lungs]. His most recent episode was last weekend. While the medication dose has actually increased, there is no remedy for cardiac arrest,” said Teo.

Thus far, Project LUNI has actually been moneying the medical costs, and have actually begun a fundraiser to help settle the expenses.

Not yet set up for adoption

Teo included that the cat, which the rescuers have actually considering that called Levi, is now in the hands of a caring fosterer.

However, as a senior cat, Ar Fu will likely need more sees to the veterinarian, specifically because of his heart disease.

“But we are attempting our finest to provide him the outright finest number of months possible,” Teo shared.

Those eager to adopt Ar Fu and provide him like in his last years will be evaluated thoroughly, as Project LUNI wishes to guarantee that his adopter has the ability to offer him with the care he requires up until completion, and has the ability to pay for the medical expenses.

At the minute, Ar Fu has actually not been set up for adoption.

Pets are a dedication

Project LUNI rehomed 292 cats in 2022, and sterilised 182.

Teo herself has actually cultivated over 15 kittens in the last 3 years.

“It is exceptionally traumatic that somebody would bring a cat from Hong Kong to Singapore and abandon him after 17 years!” Teo regreted.

Pets are a long-lasting dedication and needs to not be embraced or purchased on an impulse. Instead, mindful factor to consider and research study must be carried out prior to getting a family pet.

Pet owners are prompted to be accountable and rehome their animals correctly if they are not able to look after them.
