7th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
If you remember, Koo was looking for fosterers for a cat-family who were living on the five-foot way in Shah Alam. I enlisted Maslinda’s help and she agreed.
The family was then brought by Koo to the vet’s for a check-up and subsequently to Maslinda’s place. We have pledged to supply food and take care of the medical bills of this family (full sponsorship). Koo has also pledged that he would be more than willing to reimburse us for the expenses, get the kittens adopted and retu...

Updates On Daisy, Dewey And Thor
6th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
From their fosterer:
Quick update on the 3 little ones. All 3 started drinking water this morning. They have monstrous appetite. The sofa in the living-room is theirs now. I took some funny photos of them sleeping. Thought would share them with you.All 3 are fine except they have a bit of fungal infection on their noses. They like to dip their faces into the food when they eat so I must keep them cleaned every-time after their meal. I think I must have missed a spot or 2. The infectio...

VERY URGENT – Help Needed For 12 Cats (Amira Sabri’s)
6th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
Calling all cat rescuers, your help is needed.
We have no time to scold or pass judgment as the lives of these 12 cats are at stake. If you can help, please help. We will subsidise the treatment for the sake of these cats and kittens. Let’s just pool our resources together and save their lives first. AnimalCare will subsidise the treatment, but we cannot take over the cats/kittens.
If you can help, please contact Amira, and take the poor cats/kittens to the vet for treatment.

Up Close With A Hoarder, And More On Hoarding
6th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
In April 2011, we received an appeal from a rescuer (at one of our events) to help a lady who was described as an “angel” to animals. Apparently, this lady keeps many animals and takes very good care of them. At least that was what we were told. We offered our medical subsidy for spay-neuter and medical treatment, but the rescuer said we should visit this lady and ask her what help she needed.
We did.
But what we saw was not anywhere near what was described to us.
This lady was a hoa...

Before We Say Goodnight…
5th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
In the midst of all this hullabaloo about hoarders, rescuers, responsible actions and what have you, allow me to bid you goodnight with this photo…
And so we have the hoarders, the rescuers, the fosterers, the caregivers, etc., but ultimately, what matters is love.
Simple, unconditional love, given in the present moment.
Goodnight, folks.
Sleep well.

It is about an animal hoarder who had 21 pets (I think our hoarders here are worse in terms of the number of animals). She underwent treatment and now only has 7 pets (4 cats and 3 dogs).
Excerpts:
It was sometime after she said on camera that her animals were more important to her than her husband that the woman identified only as “Rob...

The Rescuers, The Hoarders And The Rehoming Process
5th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
Thank you very much to all who have participated in the poll I set up last night: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/03/04/the-res cuers-and-hoarders-defend-themselves/
Your views have been most enlightening.
In just last week alone, I’ve had THREE bigtime rescuers applying for food subsidy, and all from out of Selangor.
1. One intends to breed and supports an illegal breeder, so she did not qualify at all. She understands, and withdrew her application.
2. The other is a confirmed hoarder by al...

4th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
Read all about it!
Source: http://www.care2.com/causes/woman-won t-let-pig-be-barbecued.html
Written by Laura Guttridge of Florida
I received an early morning call from an animal welfare group that needed someone to rescue a 4H pig named Dragon, who was about to be auctioned off for slaughter. Apparently, this pig was a 4H project for a group of mentally challenged students, that had no idea of the impending fate of their beloved pig.
Well, this sounded like a job for me! The group wired me e...
