Stray Cats (sick Or Injured)

[swain]

Are we the only line of help? Is there a organization in Thailand that deals with lost, sick or injured animals. I have 2 cats and a litter of 5 new Persian long hairs. Happy family all with shots and well fed. No problems in our world until a sick or internally bleeding cat stumbles in our yard seeking safe haven. Her eyes have discharge, it appears she is bleeding from the nose and mouth or there are signs of dried blood. She wont eat but drinks alot of water. Our cats are flipping out and want her gone and we pity this animal but cant take in another cat as 7 seems to be our limit.

Kind spirit, Swain. Maybe the kitty was poisoned or physically injured with internal injuries; sounds like she needs med attention fast. Am sure CM has a rescue centre. Pls check.

She sounds very ill.

Take her to a vet. The vet will know of any cat shelters.

How is the cat ?

Did you find somewhere to take her ? A Thai I spoke to today said there were many such places in Chiang Mai, though she had no exact addresses.

Sad note... update on the cat.. She died soon after the post and did not make it to the next morning. Still would be interested in having the rescue info if anyone has it or shelters or anyone that can help should this ever happen again.

These seem to be the symptoms of a common disease of cats here. We have lived in San Sai for the past 7 months and seem to be a refuge for many of these poor creatures (i think only because we are the only household that doesn't have a dog).

There has been 3 of these "unfortunates" that have arrived on our doorstep that we have taken to the vet on our moo baan, only to be told the disease is an internal problem that would require very lengthy and costly treatment without guarantees and the kindest thing for the cat would be to put them to sleep.

I paid 600 baht each for the first 2 to be put down and the third cat no charge as was well known in the area for many years.

There are many of these strays here and would like to know also if there is anything like Cat Protection League here ?
