[Animal News]A reader asked this newspaper for help yesterday, saying that he saw a cat with eyes in the Tai O public toilet, and urgently sought volunteer help. German, a volunteer from the Tai O Stray Cat Home, said that the cat was 10-year-old Ah Huang, who had suffered eye problems in the past two years, but his eyesight was not much damaged. I mean it’s an immune system problem. She asked everyone to rest assured: “I have been paying attention to him, feeding him and seeing him every day. At present, his condition has not deteriorated. He is still very lively and can eat well.” She also admitted that more tourists have come to Tai O in recent years. Outings and feeding cats indiscriminately have caused many cats to suffer from kidney disease and the condition is serious. I hope tourists can learn to get along with the cats in the community, and do not feed or touch them indiscriminately.
German has been helping cats and dogs in the community for many years in Tai O, and many in-laws in Tai O have also helped her to observe and feed the cats. If there are any problems with the cats, they will also report to her, so she also understands Ah Huang’s situation very well. She thanked many people for caring regarding Ah Huang, but clarified that Ah Huang was not a seriously ill cat, “I see him every day, and he begs me for food every day. He suddenly had eye problems two years ago, and I thought it was a cataract belt. He went to the veterinarian, but the veterinarian said it was due to an immune system problem. I have been monitoring his condition since then, and found that his vision is not affected much, and he can also run and jump. “
She also tried to let Ah Huang into the house, but following entering the cat house, Ah Huang had already screamed wildly.
She said that she had always hoped that Tai O would become a paradise for community cats, but in recent years, more and more people went to Tai O for outings, and many people lacked respect for cats, which not only increased the pressure on volunteers, but also endangered the survival of many community cats.
“Many people feed the cats randomly, and everyone feeds the cat with a squeak. In fact, they can only eat one pack a day, but more than one person feeds them a day, maybe 30 people feed them, and they eat 30 packs a day, a lot of We are saddened that cats have suddenly developed kidney failure in recent years.” German said some people even dumped cat food on people’s doorsteps, causing hygiene problems. She also said that some people like to touch cats, but following being caught by cats, she said that they would call the Agriculture and Fisheries Department to catch the cats, and asked whether the volunteers had given the cats mad dog shots.
She described that as an animal volunteer, the most hope is that residents and tourists will know how to respect the animals in the community and learn how to get along with them. When you find that a cat needs help, in addition to asking for help from the volunteers, you can also do it yourself and make a contribution. Everyone can help. Can be a volunteer.
