Story of Gold-D
DOB: 22 Feb 2000
DOA: 16 Mar 2014
RIP: 12 Mar 2017
Gold-D was a senior FIV+ cat abandoned in a Singapore car park.
His innocent, trusting and sweet nature made him a natural target for cat abusers. He was very lucky to be rescued by a Singapore shelter Mettacats on 4 Feb 2014.
Mettacats Shelter
A few months after Gold-D arrived at Mettacats, we discussed with them about having another cat. We had adopted Ken Ken and wanted a companion for him.
Considering that Gold-D was a very easy-going cat, Mettacats felt he will click with Ken Ken so on 16 March 2014, Gold-D arrived
Ken Ken meets Gold-D
Gold-D saw Ken Ken for the first time and was very friendly but Ken Ken was a little reserved. A few days later, when Ken Ken was napping, Gold-D went forward to cuddle Ken Ken. They groomed each other and began to bond.
Ken Ken and Gold-D became very affectionate with each other and would groom or cuddle as they sleep, play, eat and rest together.
Both Ken Ken and Gold-D were FIV+ and caring for them lead to the start of Gold-D brand.
As we adopt and rescued more cats, Gold-D became an affectionate big brother caring for the little ones and even very sick ones like Francis.
Kidney failure
In early 2017, Gold-D was diagnosed with kidney failure and despite daily sub cut, subsequent rounds of intravenous treatment and hormone injection, his condition did not improve.
Gold-D passed away peacefully on the morning of 12 March 2017.
In loving memory of Gold-D
Despite such a short time together, Gold-D left such a big impression on us. We are very lucky to be able to care for and to love him.
Ken Ken and Gold-D inspired our documentary “We are not a nuisance!” They also appeared in "The Animal Protection Documentary".
We hope their story can inspire people to adopt instead of buying their pets.
