The owner, Ms. Liao, took her brave cat “Hua Hua” to donate blood for the first time on the 14th of this month. She said that she had been thinking about it for the past few years. Due to the lack of resources in Taiwan, she finally found a suitable place recently. And because Huahua was born as a prodigal, she was rescued from a ditch when she was three weeks old, and lived a good life of “arrogant, domineering and carefree”. So I decided to take it to donate blood. “This decision can not only help other cats, but also save itself one day in the future.”

Miss Liao revealedThere are only 6 steps in the blood donation process, including appointment time > confirmation of body condition > blood test > sedation and anesthesia > blood draw > wake up and go home. Huahua is a 6-year-old neutered Meeks female cat. During the blood donation period, due to sedation and anesthesia, there was no struggle or screaming. Be careful not to fall or hit your pet, but after the anesthetic is gone, the state will return to normal, and you can just take it home for encouragement and observation.

Ms. Liao finally emphasized to the reporter that she is not a relevant person in the blood donation center. The above is personal experience. Whether or not to donate blood depends on the situation of each owner and pet. I only do this once, and I think it’s great! I don’t need it to be donated several times a year, I just want to help other cats out of goodwill.”
