Haunting story of Mumbai NGO and vet scene

DISCLAIMER: Long post ahead; cause I am writing every small detail down I adopted two little sibling kittens when they were barely 2 months old; named the male jojo and the female. They were besties; playing together, sleeping together, eating together in a single bowl….They came into my life like sunshine at the end of the tunnel. My life was full of love and joy. Most of my day was spent admiring them, playing with them, feeding them, cuddling them…they were my son and moon. In the month of Jan, lolo got her first heat and was wimping the whole time. I decided to get her neutered from THE FELINE FOUNDATION, it was the same clinic I got both my babies vaccinated (TRICAT AND RABIES) from them. I contacted the clinic they gave me contact of THE WETNOSE FOUNDATION who were doing a sterilisation camp at TFF on 25th, they told me the charges for spay without the ear notch would be 6000, I agreed cause I didn’t want lolo to have an unnecessary wound on her ear. I took her in for the surgery, it was done alongside 7-8 or so other cats, when i went to pick her up she was lying alongside other cats and was then handed over to me. They gave me prescription for painkiller and antibiotic tablets and NO clue about when to bring her in back when to remove her bandages and all of that. On the day of surgery she was under anesthesia was wobbly and stuff, feed her treats and special wet food and she even gorged on homemade food alongside jojo. Next morning (11am) both of them had their food but throughout the day they kept sleeping (very unusual for them to skip a meal). In the evening I woke them up and gave them food, jojo ate well but lolo ate a little less, i thought maybe cause of the surgery. Next day lolo eats lesser and by the night she stops eating, next morning she doesn’t eat so i panic and i called THE WETNOSE FOUNDATION, the lady told me to take her to TFF but TFF DOESN’T TAKE A PATIENT POST 1pm. And the other close clinic opens at 6pm so I took her to the other clinic in the evening, he gives her saline and antibiotics and says she must’ve caught some infection cause she mingled with stranger cats or maybe bad hygiene of clinic. She doesn’t eat on that night and the next morning I took her to feline and they said bring her back at 2pm (they said lolo didn’t seems serious enough so I must wait for my number). I bring her back at 2pm and they giver her saline and antibiotics and they suggest ed me blood test and a snap test for PARVO VIRUS (she was vaccinated against it lol) so initially the vet said the test has come negative but later on they said post incubation period of the test that they can see a faint line. In the same evening blood reports came and they ask me to bring her to the clinic and then they tell me, her wbc count is 0.7 ( usual range is 5.5-19.9). They start her treatment and they also gave me a disclaimer that it’s a FATAL virus. I questioned wetnose and I questioned them HOW DID MY CAT CATCH IT? they kept saying something RIDICULOUSLY FUNNY, she already had it when I brought her for the surgery just that the symptoms expedited due to anaesthesia and surgery. At that moment my only focus was to treat her and next day I took her to TFF got the IV treatment in the morning and at 5pm ( because they aren’t available later) but at night it seemed to me lolo was worse and stopped sitting and started to just lay down constantly. I was told it’s a contagious virus and I need to immediately separate jojo and I kept frantically looking for someone to take him in for a few days. I took her to SUPERPETS 24*7 khar at 12am the same night and they did they required treatment for her and i took her home. At 3am i dropped off Jojo at another place. Next morning I brought Lolo back in at superpets they suggested me a test called PCR test because along with her WBC (now 0.4) her platelets started to drop which is a symptom of tick fever, the test cost was 8k and I told this to WETNOSE FOUNDATION OWNER who I was keeping in touch with, she discouraged me and told me that the private clinic is trying to scam me. So again i took her to TFF in the evening for IV, by morning 7-8am lolo just slumping as the IV glucose was worn off completely by the time and TFF WONT OPEN UNTIL 11am i rushed her to TOP DOG which opens at 8:30, my lolo was admitted there. Her antibiotics had been changed twice by now (one given by TFF didn’t show effect so superpets changed it), At TOP DOG, Dr Nupura was handling lolos case and I asked her what antibiotics is she going to administer lolo, she said “please don’t question me, if you don’t trust me you’re free to leave” at that point i was so scared I told her “sorry just please do something for my baby”. For 2 days I kept bringing Lolo for the entire day at TOP DOG, on the 2nd day we did a blood test and her WBC were 0.5 and her platelets were just 16000 ( 2-3 lakh normal range), I took a second opinion and the vet confidently said she probably has tick fever,when i asked dr Nupura she completely denied and said its just parvo virus. So I got skeptical and next day took her back to superpets and got her PCR test and her cbc reports this morning was positive; WBC- 3k and platelets- 48k. I saw hope. and she pooped at the clinic the doc said it was okay and to bring her back in the evening, took her back at 9pm got her the IV treatment, they whole time we kept an eye on lolo 24*7 we would check her temp every hour and give cooling pad if shes too hot or hot pack if her temps drop. On that night as well we were doing the same. At around 3am she went to the washroom and sat, I brought her out and kept her in the hall, she went limp and pooped blackish matter and puked. i moved her her and her came back to normal, I panicked and immediately rushed her to superpets, she was collapsing and they gave her oxygen and resurrected her through cpr, the doctor did stupid tests like LFT, KFT and kept showing me values are abnormal (I am confident he knew she was dying and these tests would add no value) in the moment i just kept giving go ahead for any tests… she passed away there on 3rd Feb and they wrapped her up and gave her to me along with a 8k bill. Two days later i get her stool reports and the PCR test detected a tick fever.. Meanwhile on the day that i had taken lolo to TOP DOG, THE WETNOSE FOUNDATION started a donation camp for her and all the funds go to the owner DISHA KUMARS bank, whenever i asked her to give me some idea about the donations she kept saying ill look into my accounts and tell you, on the day I got Lolos PCR done, Disha told me that the bills are too big and she needs funds for her “stray cats” also, I told her I’ll take care of that she can let me know when shes out. One of my friends suggested me a Dr Netkars in Thane and the same night Lolo had passed away, Jojo got a fever in the morning, this time i knew i needed a good vet and on my friends word I took Jojo to Dr Netkars in thane and admitted him at this small clinic. Two days later the doc told me to run his PCR as well and the reports two days later said he was positive for the same tick fever.For next 6 days Jojo was there he came in with just a fever and left lifeless in my arms… The night jojo was serious( heavy breathing) dr netkar was not even there to look at him, he left jojo with his two non medical assistants .. when at 3am i asked him if i should come there he said no need things are under control and at 5:30 i received at call of assistant saying jojos dead. I came to take my boys dead body which was handed over to me in the morning by the assistants and the doctor didn’t even think he could give condolences let alone explanation Overall, THE WETNOSE FOUNDATION OR THE FELINE FOUNDATION never accepted that my cats lost their lives due to lack of hygiene and practice of mingling stranger cats during the surgery. NONE of the vets took ANY ACCOUNTABILITY, afterall its just an animal. After countless sleepless nights and huge dent on my bank account, I came out of this with both my babies gone, forever.My life has been hell ever since jojo and lolo left me.. I am not sure how and when will i come to terms with this. TL;DR: my pets jojo and lolo lost their lives because of negligence by NGO camp and clinic (THE WETNOSE FOUNDATION AND THE FELINE FOUNDATION). Horrible vet scene in Mumbai, no sympathy and your pets are just an animal for them at the end of the day.
