And A Hero Comes Along...
6th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Today was Hero's scheduled surgery for the hernia and his neutering.These are the photos taken last week when Hero was first brought in by Azie. Hero came to Azie's house on his own and Azie noticed a big bulge (lump) on his underside.This bulge is actually due to a hernia where there is a tear inside, and the organs have "fallen" through, thus causing this bulge that hangs down when Hero stands up. We could push the organs back while at the clinic, but the bulge would appear again the mome...

This One Could Be Their Own Cat (Cruelty At Boarding House)
6th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Someone sent me this link: https://www.facebook.com/?sk=ru#!/photo .php?fbid=1178093028786&set=a.1082886168674.10 386.1721944222&type=1&theater It shows a photograph of the operators' own cats. I think one of the cats currently boarded at the vet's could be the cream-coloured cat in the photograph. If it is, then it is their own cat. This one. Maslinda and I are trying to determine if it could be one of their cats. It looks very similar in colour, but we cannot compare the...

The 3 Cats At The Vet (Cruelty At Boarding House)
6th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
I went to visit the three cats this afternoon and met Maslinda there. I have already spoken to the person-in-charge in KTAJ, Mira Ahmad, and she says I am to liaise with Maslinda over these 3 cats. Our concern is to get these 3 cats back to health and discharge them from the clinic. There are already ready fosterers waiting to help. If these were former pets, they would definitely do better in a home with love and care. Currently, they are in a big room all by themselves, so th...

Updates On Imm's Shelter In Ipoh (and Thank You!)
6th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Imm's Shelter is an animal sanctuary run by 60+ year-old lady, Oei Phaik Imm, who was in dire straits some six months back. At that time, she was depressed, in very poor health and finances were running low, and was hence, on the verge of giving up on her sanctuary. Ref: http://www.myanimalcare.org/2011/0 3/very-urgent-help-needed-for-59-cats-and.htmlWe raised funds for her and we're glad everything is looking really well now, for Imm and for the dogs and cats.

The Press Conference (Cruelty At The Boarding House)
5th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
I've often avoided these publicity functions unless I can contribute in some useful ways, so when Wani and KTAJ invited me to be present for the press conference this evening, I asked in what way my presence would be useful. Wani said it was to show support and solidarity of the many animal welfare NGOs. Alright, for that purpose, I'll go.The reporters were there. It was a full hall.Many of the pet-owners whose pets had been victims of this scam were present. Others were concerne...

Alarie wrote to me a few days ago, requesting help for a female cat and her new kittens (3 months old). The cat is in the box. SO obedient? Oh wow...that's nice.Alarie has been looking after her for more than 3 months now. She came to Alarie's house when she was pregnant and has since delivered and finished breastfeeding her babies. Where are the kittens, I asked? I had thought we would get the kittens dewormed. Well, what do you know? Alarie said our other panel vet offered to ...

Back To Spaying-Neutering Work
5th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Today we had two cats in for spaying.One was Mama-X from Jessy Lian. Mama-X is estimated to be at least 11 years old and was still "actively" giving birth. Mama was spayed today, with no mishaps (thank heavens!). She was put on drips throughout the surgery and during recuperation. The vets said she appeared to be a strong and healthy cat. Here's Mama-X after surgery, still on drips to be on the safe side.Jessy Lian stayed throughout the surgery to wait for Mama-X. Julie Pek dropped in and s...

Cruelty At Boarding House - Photo Update Of The "Dying" Cat
5th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
Maslinda sent this photo, taken when she visited the three cats boarded at the vet in PJ today.The cat is at least sitting up and that is a good sign.You'd see that the body has been shaven - three cats were brought in in this condition yesterday. I checked with a vet and she suggested that perhaps the cats were so hungry (or maybe even traumatised), they bit off their own fur, or each other's fur. This seems plausible as only the hair on the torso appears to have been bitten off. It ...

Cruelty At Its Worst (more Updates At 9.30pm)
4th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
The KTAJ rescuers arrived with the cat. I was already there waiting for our vet, who was coming all the way from Kajang. It so happened our vet also had to attend to some dogs at the clinic, so we were lucky. This cat did not look so bad, but according to the rescuers, he looked really sick while at the boarding house. Yes, it is always best not to take chances with animals. His bottom half is filthy - he must have been sitting in pee and poo for a week, and had been without food...

Cruelty At Its Worst (the Pet Boarding Case)
4th Sep 2011, by AnimalCare
I contacted Wani over this case and Wani got the rescuers to send the sickly cats to the vet in PJ. So I drove down there to wait for them in case any downpayment was needed for these cats. The important thing is to get them treated first to save their lives. The next step would be to locate their owners to take them back.The cats soon arrived. There were six of them. These are the worst of the lot, I was told. This poor, poor cat was in very, very bad shape. She is all skin and bones...
