Stray Rescue situation in Qatar
Hi everyone,
I made a post here earlier about a kitten I rescued, and I wanted to give an update while also asking for some advice.
I’ve been taking care of him for a little over a month now, and he’s honestly become very special to me. Unfortunately, his health has been quite unstable, and the vet expenses are starting to become overwhelming.
I’ve tried to be responsible and looked into more affordable options here in Doha. I checked places like Sanam Vet and the government veterinary clinic. The government vet is free, but their hours are very limited and it’s quite far from where I live, so I haven’t been able to make it there in time. Sanam Vet used to be more affordable, but recently their prices have increased significantly.
In just about 5 weeks, I’ve already spent around 1400 QAR across 4 vet visits, which is really starting to strain me financially.
My kitten has been through a lot:
- He previously lost function in his back legs and had to drag himself (the vet suspects an old injury, possibly from a car accident when he was very young)
- Recently he developed hypothermia and diarrhea
- As of now, he hasn’t eaten for the past 24 hours and has become very weak
Someone kind has already helped me cover part of the costs, which I’m really grateful for. But I’m still struggling to keep up, and if anyone is able to contribute even a little, it would honestly make a big difference in helping me get him back to full health.
I’ve built an amazing bond with him over this time, and I really don’t want to lose him.
If anyone in Doha knows:
- Affordable vets or clinics
- Animal charities or organizations that can help
- Or can offer any support or advice
I would truly appreciate it.
Thank you for reading 🙏
