MV is a young female cat (estimated 1–2 years old) who has already endured more trauma than most cats face in a lifetime. Rescued from Mid Valley Mall loading bay on 29 July 2025, MV came to us injured, frightened, and in pain — with a pelvic fracture that suggested she had been hit by a vehicle.
What we didn’t know then was that MV was also living with a hidden, life-threatening condition.
MV’s Story
A long road to recovery…
After her rescue, MV was vaccinated and neutered, and began recovering at the shelter. But her journey was far from over.
In the months that followed, MV battled:
- Pelvic fracture from trauma
- Recurring flu and eye infections
- A period of severe lethargy, diarrhea, and appetite loss, requiring IV fluids
- Ongoing monitoring and vet care
Despite everything, MV kept going. She tested FIV & FeLV negative, and slowly regained strength.
Then, on 30 December 2025, MV suddenly developed breathing difficulties — even gentle eye cleaning caused her to breathe heavily. X-rays revealed the devastating truth:
💔 MV has a diaphragmatic hernia.
Part of her liver has moved into her chest cavity, compressing her lungs and affecting her ability to breathe.
This condition likely resulted from the same trauma that caused her pelvic fracture months ago — but because she showed no obvious breathing signs at the time, it went undetected. By now, the hernia has become chronic (almost 5 months), making surgery far more dangerous.s well, has gained weight, and loves the gentle care of her foster home.
⚠️ What This Means for MV
- MV’s lungs are compromised
- Any stress or sudden breathing difficulty could cause her to collapse suddenly
- Surgery is her only real chance, but the estimated success rate is only ~40%
- Without surgery, no one can predict how long MV can survive
As of now, MV is stable — likely because she has adapted to living with reduced lung capacity. But this is not safe, and not sustainable.
On 31 December 2025, instructions were given to proceed with surgery. The surgery will most likely be done in the first week of January, as soon as MV has somewhat recovered from her current flu and is stable enough to go under anesthesia.
