00:00The cat has a fever.
00:04The cat has a fever and is shaking.
00:06I can't talk much.
00:08Her name is Joya.
00:10She's a girl, Joya.
00:13Today, I brought a few cat boxes
00:16immediately,
00:20so that we can place the animals
00:24comfortably.
00:25We have a box for the carrier to take to the doctor immediately.
00:28We also have a bag.
00:30If the owner needs to bring the cat from home,
00:33this bag is very easy to carry.
00:35This is a medical bag.
00:37This bag can hold 2-3 cats at the same time.
00:40It can hold the cat's bed, food, and sand.
00:43Today, we also have food.
00:47How many animals are here?
00:49As far as I know,
00:51there are only 14 cats here.
00:53There are 15 cats in total.
00:55We have a second PPS in Kamelea Court,
00:58which is the Kamelea Putrahai Court.
01:02There is one cat there.
01:04It's a newborn kitten.
01:06I think it's only a few days old.
01:08Its eyes haven't been opened yet.
01:10It's fully supported by the SPCA and medical veterinarians.
01:13We are here as activists and volunteers
01:16to provide counselling,
01:18treatment,
01:20and basic check-ups.
01:22If the animals have fever,
01:24injuries,
01:26the veterinarian at the SPCA
01:28or the veterinarian at the private clinics
01:31will inform us
01:33if the animals need to go to the next step
01:37or hospital or ward.
01:39We will send them there.
01:41This is my second day here.
01:43I haven't slept or rested for almost 40 hours.
01:45I'm not only here for the animals' welfare.
01:48I'm also here for humanity.
01:50I bring towels, baby milk, diapers,
01:52everything for at least a day.
01:54I'm moving between the Kamelea Court
01:56and Putrahai Mosque.
01:58Repeatedly,
02:00I've helped solve various issues.
02:02Alhamdulillah.
02:03So far, so good for today.
02:05To start,
02:07all the animals are in a state of trauma.
02:10As we know,
02:12they are shaking,
02:14and they want to talk.
02:16They are a bit angry.
02:18One of the animals has fever.
02:21We will try to get help as soon as possible.
02:24The other one is on the way.
02:27Do you only take cats or dogs?
02:30I take cats, dogs, and rabbits.
02:33No problem.
02:35I have the support of two private veterinarians
02:40and the SPCA as an NGO.
02:43The SPCA has opened two booths.
02:47One at the Kamelea Court
02:49and the other at the entrance.
02:51At the entrance,
02:53there is a check point
02:55and a main point.
