Tofu Boy - A cancer stricken and paralysed cat

Tofu Boy is a cancer stricken and paralysed cat. We picked him up for boarding on Saturday. 

He is not able to walk as he is suffering from cancer of the lymph nodes which results to lumps and paralysis from the lower body down. He could not move his hind legs at all. So most of the time he is lying down. We had to clean him up each time he did his business as he will just pee and poo in any position. 

Whenever we clean him and held him in our hands, we can feel how much pain he is in. But from his eyes, we can tell how much he longs for your affection and love even in such pain. No doubt he cannot move his back leg, he would still try to crawl towards us with his hands and rub against us.

Whenever we see our other cats roaming freely and when we look at Tofu Boy half motionless, its really saddening... Like why must this happen to him and he is just 2 to 3 years old. Still so young and suffering from all these with not much time left... ); While outside, he often wants to crawl out from his carrier to look at the grass fields and surroundings.

We know that he wants to get up on his legs and start running again. We feel really sad and sorry seeing him in such state. Fosterer does not feel optimistic even with chemotherapy... maybe from the doctor's experience, its a risk.... Hopefully, just hopefully, he will overcome all odds and get back on his feet again!

All the best, Tofu Boy!
