Project Tai O Stray Cat

For many years, I have devoted myself to caring for the stray cats of Tai O. Among them are many elderly cats whose health is fragile, and as their medical needs grow, the costs have become increasingly difficult to manage.

At present, I am looking after 33 cats. Each one deserves love, care, and dignity, yet limited resources make it challenging to provide even the most basic medical attention. The burden has become overwhelming, and I cannot meet these needs alone.

I humbly ask for your support. Whether through a small donation or any form of assistance, your kindness will make a profound difference. With your help, these cats can receive the care they need, overcome their hardships, and experience the love and hope they deserve. Your generosity and encouragement mean the world to me and to these vulnerable lives.

Let me share with you the stories of two of our rescued cats:

Update on Queen – Our Beloved Tai O Cat

Many of you know Queen, the gentle stray who has captured so many hearts in Tai O. In 2023, she underwent a tooth extraction surgery, and as she has grown older, her health has become more fragile. Because she is so friendly and trusting, visitors often pet her and feed her treats—even local street snacks like grilled squid and egg waffles! While this affection shows how loved she is, it also makes her more vulnerable to infections.

Now at around 12–13 years old, Queen’s body is slowing down. Living outdoors among crowds and environmental risks is not easy for her. I was initially most worried about her kidneys, but thankfully her test results came back normal. However, she may have calicivirus, which makes her prone to oral inflammation. Long-term antiviral medication has helped, though the best care would be for her to live indoors.

For now, Queen is adapting well at Tai O Stray Cat Home Campus, and I am deeply grateful for the concern and support you’ve shown her. Every bit of kindness helps her continue to feel loved and safe. Thank you for standing by Queen and giving her hope.

Update on Jin Jai – Our Brave Fighter

Many of you have been following Jin Jai’s journey. Recently, he was unable to undergo his planned tooth extraction because blood tests revealed pancreatitis. He had to complete a full course of treatment first, and only after his levels improved could surgery be considered.

Despite his large size, Jin Jai has always been a bit fragile—often catching colds and suffering from oral inflammation. In the past, he may have eaten too much leftover food from the dim sum shop, which left his body weaker. Watching him drool daily while unable to receive steroid medication was heartbreaking, but we had to be cautious not to worsen his condition.

Thankfully, after his follow-up check, his blood levels returned to normal. Therefore, he was finally able to undergo the muchneeded tooth extraction surgery. It was a serious case, but he is now on the road to recovery.

With several cats needing frequent clinic visits lately, it has been exhausting. Still, seeing Jin Jai take this important step forward fills me with hope. As we enter the new year, I wish all of you peace, safety, and good health—and thank you for standing by Jin Jai and the other cats with your care and support.
