Rabies Alert: Very Informative Articles
19th Sep 2015, by AnimalCare
These articles may be informative:
Dear Mr Lim Guan Eng, please stop the killing:http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/ opinion/2015/09/18/dear-mr-lim-guan-eng-please-sto p-the-killing/

Aqua Pets Day 2
19th Sep 2015, by AnimalCare
There were slightly more visitors today, being a Saturday.
For us, it was more for education and letting know rescuers what we offer, ie. our neutering aid. Many were unaware of our aid, being a new crowd, so the exposure is good.
Jelissa was our teenage ambassador and volunteer for today.
Mary was with me from the start till we finished and that’s a big help.
Thank you, all.
Tomorrow is the last day…

Aqua Pets Day 1
19th Sep 2015, by AnimalCare
Grateful thanks to Agnes Cheong and Sumitra Siew for helping out, especially on a Friday!
Agnes and Sumitra’s friends dropped by to offer support. Here’s one of them, Faridah. She absolutely loves cats!
This is Dewi.
She came over to meet me at the booth. She’s been a silent reader of the blog for 4 years (!!) and has since been inspired to become a rescuer and later, a vegetarian, and now, Dewi is a vegan! I’m so impressed and touched.

Neutering Aid For 2 Cats In Subang Jaya (Then Lai Fatt’s)
17th Sep 2015, by AnimalCare
We have sponsored RM200 for the spaying of the female cat and the castration of the male cat.
Both cats look very much alike and were found at the market. According to Ah Fatt, the female was extremely fierce so he was only able to take the following photos of her (when she was anaesthesized). Both cats have now been released, but the male appears to have been taken by someone (we hope he gets to a good home!). The female still lives in the colony.
Ah Fatt sent these photos:

Good afternoon, Dr Chan. I found a black cat (male) at the school a few weeks ago. Most likely he was abandoned, as he doesn’t exactly seem feral to me. I’ve already released him and he’s now back at the school. But I’ll try to get him adopted. Hope the pics are good enough. Thank you.

If It Fits…
15th Sep 2015, by AnimalCare
Families with cats surely have lots and lots of “If it fits” photos.
Of course, because that’s one of any cat’s favourite pastime.
Today, we bring you Heidi’s version of “If it fits”…
Isn’t that a bit too small, Heidi?
The smaller, the better?
We should never anthropomorphise, so…
She seems very comfortable.
Some cats prefer a spacious dining table.
All spread out.
We’re just interested in asking for some food,
