Adorable But Oh-So-Naughty Little Diva
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
I just spent the last 1 hour trying to “extricate” Diva from her hiding place…
I came home from work and saw Diva had made those precious “rocks” (glorious poo!) we had been waiting for – well-formed and good looking ones, too. So, that’s a relief…at least we now know she can pee and poo on her own. There was pee in the litter box as well. More than that, she had also kicked sand out of her box onto the floor and overturned her water bowl.
She see...

Good Morning, Diva!
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
I was awaken this morning by loud mewing from downstairs.
It was Diva, of course.
Last night, she had already learnt how to squeeze out from the edge of the cage door (many kittens soon discover this), so I tied a yellow ribbon to secure the door to the bars of the cage and that took care of that.
Diva was quite unhappy about being caged. She wanted to walk about the dining and living room. So, I let her walk around until almost 1.30am.
This morning, she ate on her own, from only from my hand ag...

Busa, Puspa And Billie (be Inspired!!)
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
My friend, Lydia, called me up about two weeks ago. She was clearly very excited to share a most wonderful story. Dr Susanna had referred a first-time rescuer, by the name of Billie Eez, to Lydia because Billie had picked up an injured cat from his alley, and sought Dr Susanna’s help. Dr S is now treating the cat, name Busa, but at the same time, advised Billie to consult Lydia on the possibility of physiotherapy help.
Billie is a Chinese man who runs a very small and modest pizza joint so...

More News From Across The Ocean (HSUS’ On The Oscars)
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
From the Humane Society of the U.S.:
If you watched the Oscars last night, you might have seen it: A phony “consumer alert” ad attacking The Humane Society of the United States.
Your HSUS is under attack by a shadowy front group called HumaneWatch, which placed that ad. Led by a notorious D.C. lobbyist nicknamed “Dr. Evil,” the group is funded by the restaurant and food industries, among others. Their goal? To stop you and me from fighting against animal cruelty in all it...

News From Across The Ocean (PETA’s On Caboodle Ranch)
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
From PETA:
Imagine that your family has packed you up and shipped you across the country to a total stranger. You are surrounded by others who are also stressed, terrified, and confused. The stench is overwhelming, and disease is rampant. You cannot get away from the insects—they swarm around you, cover your eyes, and fly into your nose. There are maggots and roaches in the food. When you fall ill, a stranger forcefully grabs you and scrubs your face with a Clorox wipe, burning your eyes. You ...

A Precious Rock?
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
Yes, even diamonds come from rocks and before they are harvested and polished, it isn’t much to look at. Why, we might even pass it off as another stone by the roadside!
Take a look at this…
What IS that?
Well, for tonight, it is something more precious than diamonds…
It’s Diva’s pee clump!!
YES, Diva pee-ed on her own in the litter-box! And a mighty big one at that, too.
She is out for a walkabout now….mewing loudly.
The next “precious rock” will...

How Did Diva Get Onto The Road Divider In OKR?
27th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
Mary and I were wondering all evening…
Not that it is of any use to speculate, but here are some possibilities:
1. Diva broke away from her litter, walked across three lanes at midnight (without getting knocked down – a bit far-fetched, I know) and landed at the divider but could not climb up. That stopped her and hence, she clung onto it until spotted by Mary.
2. Someone drove her there and she fell out of the car window?
3. Someone drove her there to be dumped (I know, that’s...

I’m Playing Host To A DIVA
27th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
Who???
Mariah Carey? J-Lo? Sarah Brightman?
Er…no, not that kind of a DIVA.
Here….this one. Read on, please….
Mary Yap texted me this morning about a most unusual and almost miraculous rescue. She was driving along the Old Klang Road (and it’s three-laned) and was caught in the traffic jam. Traffic was crawling, as usual.
Luckily it was, because Mary noticed “something” clinging onto the road divider.
Initially, Mary thought, “Oh no, another dead cat, ...

Please Do NOT Do This
26th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
So far, I’ve had two receipts (with form) placed in my postbox, asking for subsidy claims but I do not even know who the requestors are. They had not contacted me prior to making the claim.
Our subsidy claims are given according to procedures listed here: http://myanimalcare.org/subsidy/

Once approved, get the treatment done and pay the vet.
2. Send the original receipt and duly filled form to me by post.

Female Street-Cat Spayed (Mary Yap’s)
26th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
Mary Yap sent this female cat who frequents the vicinity of her office area for spaying a few days ago, and we have sponsored RM100 for it.
She sure looks a lot like Indy (she even has the same Harry Potter lightning marking on the forehead, just like Indy)!
Done!
I know this is a long shot, but if you’d like to adopt this cat, please contact Mary on 012-3282260. Mary says the cat is very friendly and “manja”. She comes easily to people and that was how Mary managed to catc...

Our Ex-Sporo Cat, Puteri, Having A Time Of Her Life Now
26th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
Puteri was a street cat, picked up by Mary Yap from Taman Tun.
Puteri was initially diagnosed as having bad flu but later, it was found that the spot on her nose was a sporotrichosis infection. Puteri was treated for many months (we subsidised the treatment while Mary sponsored the boarding), and subsequently Puteri was adopted by Nor, Mary’s colleague.
Puteri is now best of pals with Chombi, Nor’s other cat (who is FIV-positive).
Here are some photos:

As beautiful as ev...

Lilian Tong’s Kitty, “Girl”, Is Doing Well!
26th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
From Lilian:
Good morning Dr. Chan!
Sorry for the late reply. It was a longggg day yesterday! After kitty’s checkup I went around town searching for a cage, hot water bottle, litter box.
After getting the cage, the litter-box and all her stuff, before I could set everything up, I needed to clean the apartment with clorox just in case the kitty left any fleas (because she was playing around on my floor mat/carpet/old clothes), upon the vet’s advise. I made sure I mopped o...
