In a testament to the boundless love between humans and their animal companions, a Malaysian woman has made an agonizing decision to part with her cherished Coldplay concert ticket to cover her beloved cat's mounting medical bills. Oyen, a feline companion diagnosed with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD), has been hospitalized at the UPM veterinary clinic, while his devoted owner faces the heart-wrenching reality that his condition is rapidly deteriorating. With a heavy heart, Siti Maizura Binti Shahri initiated a crowdfunding campaign on Kitafund to rally support from the community, desperately needing funds that could save her furry friend's life.
Oyen, a playful and affectionate companion, has been a source of joy and comfort to Siti since he was first adopted. However, the sudden onset of FLUTD has turned their world upside down. Recognizing the severity of the situation, Siti sought immediate veterinary care, only to discover the exorbitant cost of his treatment. Unable to afford the expenses on her own, she found herself facing an impossible choice: attend the concert she had eagerly anticipated or prioritize her beloved cat's wellbeing.
Driven by her deep love and unwavering commitment to Oyen, she made the heartbreaking decision to sell her Coldplay ticket. The concert, which held great significance to her, paled in comparison to the life of her feline friend. With a heavy heart, she turned to Twitter, sharing her story and desperately seeking a buyer who could alleviate her financial burden while ensuring Oyen's continued care.

However, even with the Coldplay ticket sold, the financial burden of Oyen's medical bills remains significant. Determined to exhaust every avenue for her cat's recovery, Siti established the KitaFund, an online crowdfunding campaign designed to raise funds for Oyen's treatment. With every update she shares on social media, she highlights Oyen's worsening condition, the emotional toll it takes on her, and the dire need for financial support.
