| This is the paw AFTER it was stitched! |
I'd volunteered to have him neutered, but when I saw him up close, I realised his front left paw was in a really bad state.
I took the tuxie cat to the vet, we gave him a huge shot of antibiotics, and then left him to starve overnight. The next day, I went back, held him while he was given his knock-out shot, and we took a look at the damage.
I thought he'd been in an accident but the vet, our Dr Baz in SS14 Subang Jaya, says the damage was done by a knife. And there was more than one cut. Poor tuxie cat needed a serious operation and ended up with a dozen stitches.
Since that day he's been in Zaa's place, our local aquarium shop cum cat rescue centre in SS15/5A number 43. He sits in his cage and eats and sleeps and heals and eats and sleeps and heals. The tuxie cat is healing really fast but as the knife cuts were down to the bone, and it's on his elbow, it's taking a while.
Thank heavens the vet and Zaa give us a discount. Even so, it's costing a bomb but it's worth it. The tuxie cat has gone from a scared feral cat to a big purry fuzzy face. That's Zaa's work. And the fact that he's alive and not dying slowly and painfully of an infection is thanks to Dr Baz.
I'll keep you updated, but in the meantime, do me a Christmas favour? I know this tuxie cat was once a pet. He was dumped by some people who think that it's natural for cats to live wild on the streets.
Please show people who think that way this post. And remind them that Tuxie got picked up; millions don't.
Adopting cats is for life, not just for kitten-hood.

I don't get how people can be so cruel. He's lovely, not to mention so lucky to have such a wonderful group of folks behind him.
What a beautiful tuxie! We hope gets a wonderful forever home very quickly. Thank you for helping him.
It's always so upsetting to read about such cruelty, but I'm thrilled that this kitty got saved and is being cared for!
Poor Tuxie. And he's got the best Christmas gift ever from you, neighbour, Dr and Zaa.

Just reading this makes me sick in my stomach! Thank goodness there are wonderful people like you who care!
We picked up a tuxie kitten a month ago, remember? He was bashed up and whiskers snipped. Sebastian is slowly recovering and gaining his strength.... I love you for what you did for Tuxie, Aunty E.
On behalf of all formerly feral cats, ((((((HUGS))))) for you, Zaa and Dr Baz. purrrr....meow!

Stories like this just make me ill. Who does stuff like that to an innocent animal?! Ugh. Thank goodness this one, at least, has been saved.
Very well said. Pity more people don't have your compassion. Deccy x
I'm very thankful you and your neighbour have given him the care he so desperately needed.
I know it's uncharitable, but I hope the person who did that to him gets repaid in kind a thousand times over.
This is why I prefer most non-human animals to most human animals.....
Wishing this tuxie a speedy recovery--the boys send their purrs!

Awwww!! Me and Charlie are waving to this sweet beautiful and very very very lucky tuxie boy! We are so happy that there are kind people out there who go out of their way to help strays like tuxie kitty. We know there are many bad people who don't care or who bring these poor creatures into this world and leave them to fend for themselves but our hearts are gladdened that there are many more good people who outweigh all these nastiness. Purrs to you all and hugs to tuxie kitty! Take care

My heart goes out to Tuxie and I'm so glad you were there for him. It is so sad that someone could do this. Hugs to you for all you do!
We are so glad you and your neighbour could catch the poor little kitty. We hope he heals well and gets a loving forever home.
Thank all that is good and kind for people like all of you! Poor little sweet Tuxie. We purr he gets the happy forever home he deserves now. We just can't stand human monsters like those... All us are inside kitties, and very protected. We wish all furry ones were too.
Bless you, and Merry Christmas.
Oh poor kitty!!
I am so mad at this sick someone who did such cruel thing to a little baby.
I am so happy he is getting good care and love from wonderful people like you. Thank you for giving the best Christmas present to him...
I hope he heals very quickly.
Wishing you very Merry Christmas filled with happiness.
We are so happy you took this kitty to the vet to get some help. We hope he heals quickly. How could someone be so cruel and do that to him???
Merry Christmas ~ Ellen ... all good wishes to you and yours.
I don't know how anyone could do that to any animal, let alone a sweet little kitty.
You are an angel for doing this for this poor kitty! Bless you! I'll never understand how anyone could do something so cruel to an animal. Poor baby. I hope he finds a loving fur-ever home, or are you going to maybe adopt him??! Thanks again to you and Dr. Zaa!
Love & Hugs, Cindy, Buster, Rudy and Sam
Oops...we mean thanks to Dr. Baz and Zaa's Place!!
Poor Tuxie! I can't believe that some people could be so cruel. They don't deserve to be called human. Please give him a big hug from me and mine.
