On the 22nd of April 2000,
Jennifer found this very handsome cat on the 2nd level of her block
of flats at Bedok. She gave him some dry food and noticed ants
crawling towards his body.
To her horrors, he was infected wounds on his hind leg and over his tummy.
The cat was very very tame and allowed his wounds to be cleaned and
antibiotic powder applied. His tame nature allowed his to be put into a carrier
and brought to the vet at the Animal Clinic at Telok Kurau.
When asked by the receptionist for the cat's name, Jennifer
immediately said "Pat".
He was hospitalised as Jennifer couldn't take care of him at home.
The vet later told Jennifer that the wounds were caused by scalding.
His wounds healed and he was neutered on 27th of April with his ear cropped. He
was vaccinated on the 28th of April.
As he was an abused cat, it was decided against releasing him back to
Bedok where he was found. On the 2nd of May, Pat joined the animal rescue
shelter,
The medical fees were borne by Jennifer.
Pat's leg wound has now healed and his tummy wound is healing. A collar has to
be placed on Pat to prevent him from licking his wound.
