A small kitten named Apong is fighting to keep the use of its legs after being struck by a car, and the rescue group caring for it is asking the public for help covering the cost of surgery.

The appeal was posted by Dunia Kucing Malaysia, a Malaysian cat rescue page on Facebook.

In the post, admin Rini said Apong is currently within what she described as a “golden window” — a critical period in which prompt treatment significantly improves the chances of a full recovery without lasting pain or disability.

The surgery is estimated to cost RM4,346.

We are in a very difficult situation, and are forced to make the choice to proceed with this surgery to save its leg, even though we are not financially able.

Rini added that those unable to donate financially could still help by sharing and commenting on the post.
