From: "Jennifer Ooi" Sent: Sunday, 19 January, 2003 1:38 PM Subject: Pai Kar (Bravery) When I started feeding the strays there, a cat lady limbing with an umbrella for support, pointed Pai Kar to me and told me about his deformed front leg. I noticed that he has adapted to his deformity and eating well. One night in early Year 2002, Sharon, Salie, Karen, Jenny and me wanted to bring a black female cat from Aljunied for sterilization. But we failed to get her,so we went to the Aljunied MRT station to try to get one. Pai Kar was the only one that we managed to get,because he could not run away fast. Upon examination by the vet, we were told that the nails in the paw of the deformed front leg had cut into the flesh causing it to become sore. Suggestion was to amputate the leg, but we were of the opinion that it was too drastic. So we told the vet to sterilise him and attend to the sore on the paw. We then started looking for someone to adopt Pai Kar. Good news came before Pai Kar was discharged. A kind lady by the name of May Ng, agreed to adopt Pai Kar. She ever saw Pai Kar before, when we met for the first time at Aljunied MRT. So on the day that Pai Kar was discharged, he went to his new home at Tampines. Pai Kar was given special food and he gobbled all of them. Even though Pai Kar was fierce at that time, May patiently took care of him. Soon he put on weight and became less fierce. One evening, Pai Kar escaped from his cage and was sitting on the edge of the front balcony. May was scared that he would jump down or lost his balance. However, Mei tried coaxing him down with food. Finally, she succeeded and he was named "Bravery". But then came the unforunate news.
Around middle of the year, for some medical reason, May couldn't take care of
Pai Kar at home. After discussion with MettaCats volunteers "Bravery" was
boarded at MettaCattery. May is sponsoring his boarding fee. Would you like to adopt Bravery? Send us an email |
