Dear community,
Last night, a cat who appears to be someone’s pet was brought to us by Pest Control after being found near the Racquet Club. He was taken directly to Al Hamra Veterinary Center for treatment.
Unfortunately, he is not microchipped, so we have been unable to identify his owner. He also has a severely damaged eye which cannot be saved and will need to be surgically removed. The surgery is expected to cost approximately 700 SAR.
We are currently already in a negative balance at Al Hamra due to the ongoing treatment of community cats. The team there are incredibly supportive and would never allow a sick or injured cat to go untreated because we cannot immediately cover the cost, but we also need to make sure we can continue paying them for their time, equipment, medication and care.
If anyone would like to contribute towards this cat’s surgery, or towards the veterinary care we provide for KAUST’s community cats more generally, please send us a private message for ways to purchase Al Hamra vouchers. Even a small contribution genuinely helps.
And most importantly, if this is your cat, or you recognise him and know who his owner may be, please contact us as soon as possible.
Thank you, as always, for helping us look after the animals in our community. 🐾❤️
