In early August, a tiny two-month-old kitten was struck by a car near Wang Phong, Hua Hin.

Alone, frightened and badly injured, the little male kitten was found lying in the middle of the road. A kind lady wanted to help but simply couldn't afford the emergency veterinary care. She posted an appeal online, hoping someone would step forward.

Sopha saw the post and knew that severe jaw injuries are among the most expensive and challenging rescue cases. Many rescuers are unable to take these cases because of the high veterinary costs.

But Sopha couldn't walk away; she knew she had to help this little one. Through all pain and suffering this little guy had to go through, she named him, the little Fighter.

The First Battle

Veterinary examination revealed that Fighter had suffered a broken jaw and serious injuries to his lower lip. He urgently needed surgery to give him a chance of surviving.

With the generous support of compassionate animal lovers, Fighter underwent his first jaw surgery at Kasetsart Veterinary Hospital in Hua Hin.

Everyone hoped the worst was over. Unfortunately, after only three days, complications developed.

The damaged jaw became badly infected, and despite everyone's hopes, the first surgery was not successful.
