Cat Saved After Python Attack
BCS received a desperate call from a longtime cat carer in the Klong Toei slum. Som, a beloved community cat, had been ambushed by a python—wrapped tightly in the snake’s grip.
Witnesses rushed in, risking their own safety to pry the snake off the cat’s body. By the time they freed him, the cat was unconscious, gasping for air, and completely unresponsive.
The scene was chaotic, emotional, and terrifying—and that’s when BCS got the call.
BCS immediately coordinated with the carer and instructed her to rush the cat to one of our 24-hour veterinary partners, ensuring the cat received emergency stabilization.
The situation was critical—Som was placed in an oxygen tent to combat possible brain damage from oxygen deprivation, and we feared he might suffer permanent liver or organ failure from the pressure of the python’s coils. Hours passed as we waited, uncertain whether the cat would survive the night.
Incredibly, the cat began to show signs of life within 36 hours. He stood up, began to walk again, and even let out a few faint meows—proof that he was still himself.
After a full evaluation, the vet confirmed good news: no brain damage, no organ failure, and no lasting injuries. T
he entire community that rallied to save him is deeply grateful to BCS for stepping in when no one else could, and the cat is now safely at home with his rescuer.
This is why BCS exists—to be the lifeline in moments when there is no time to waste and no second chances.
