“ This is an unusual request » Michy Batshuayi formulated Thursday evening on his social networks. The 32-year-old Belgian striker launched an appeal to find a blood donor cat to save his feline's life. The latter was hit by a car in Frankfurt, where the former Marseillais has lived and played since last winter, and required emergency surgery.
“Urgent: feline blood donor needed to save a life”wrote the Red Devil to introduce his message broadcast in two languages, in English and German. “
Hello everyone, I send you a heartfelt cry. I live in Frankfurt and my cat was hit by a car. He is currently in critical condition and requires emergency surgery.”he explained, accompanying these words with a photo of his animal.
And to add: “ Unfortunately, it is too weak. He urgently needs a blood transfusion from another cat to survive the operation. Vets are looking for a healthy cat as a donor to try to save her life. This would simply be a small blood sample, completely healthy for the donor cat and gently performed by a professional veterinarian. »
“Your help could literally save a life”
“I know it's an unusual request but it's his only chance at life, Batshuayi insisted. If you are in Frankfurt or nearby and have a healthy cat, your help could literally save a life. The operation is scheduled very soon, so every minute counts. Thank you very much to everyone who relays or gets in touch. Please contact me directly. » Hoping that the magic of social networks works.
As a reminder, Michy Batshuayi worked for Olympique de Marseille between 2014 and 2016. He then joined Chelsea for the tidy sum of 39 million euros. Which represents the biggest sale in the history of the Marseille club.
