My Story
Good day to everyone. My name is Amaliya Shteyneker. For many years, me and my husband have treated stray animals—all the time, we are doing it at our own cost. Usually, we only can allocate the budget for 2-3 minor cases or one severe case once in 3 months. Last month we had 2 cases, one severe and one semi-severe. A few weeks ago, I picked up a stray cat at my work Peninsula International School Australia (Malaysia Campus). The cat was bleeding all over his face. I brought him to the clinic, where the doctor diagnosed him with sporotrichosis. I had admitted him for two weeks, but unfortunately, this Vet is not specialising and does not want to carry on with the Sporo case like this one.
On the other hand, it was very costly to keep him in that vet. I contacted the other vet in Shah Alam, specialising in sporotrichosis treatment, and they agreed to admit him, so we admitted him there. The cat is in quite a bad condition, my husband and I are tried to cure him at home, but we are not specialising in it, and looks like we only making it worst. For the first admission of the cat, my colleagues and I managed to raise the fund for his first hospitalisation of RM 1500. All this money we paid for his total bill at the first vet, but for the second one, it’s a bit difficult for us. Sporo infection has to be treated at the hospital between 6 to 12 months. I have got quotations from multiple clinics. The bill for one month is from rm 1.5 to 2000. The Shah Alam clinic we contacted having the lowest charges, the initial payment rm 2500, and the following months rm 1000 every month. We are hoping to be able to treat him for at least till his wounds are close to 60% recovery and continue the treatment at home. To achieve such a result, he needs to be hospitalised for at least 6 to 8 months. We would like to raise at least 30 to 50 % of his total bill. As I mentioned, my family only can allocate the budget once in 3 months to take care of the stray animals, but this is a long-term case, and it’s tough to find this budget. Besides it, we have seven stray cats at home, which as well been rescued previously. In total, we saved over 20 animals who had multiple conditions. Usually, we always will find a home for them after the treatment, the one's with a difficult case, we keep them with us. We never put down any animal. We always fight till we make it. I believe this cat will make it as well, but to get him through, we need some funds, please good people, could you help us with this journey? This is our first time asking for funds from people. We had never done it before and were always taking care of it ourselves. We will be very grateful if anyone can help us to save this lively boy. Thank you very much, good people 🙏
