Helping Pak Din
8th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Now, let's do more useful things and think of ways to help Pak Din and his puppies, shall we?Chew told me yesterday when I met up with him that Pak Din's 2 adult dogs have died at the vet's. The cause of death is poisoning. This piece of news changes things now. I don't think it is wise to let the puppies grow up in such a place, especially when they would certainly roam freely (Pak Din doesn't have any proper place, he lives in a shack) and be subject to being poisoned. So, yesterday even...

While We Spay-Neuter, Some People Prefer The "Natural" Way
8th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
I went over just now to speak with the distant neighbour whose kitten was run down on the road a few days ago. I offered him to help spay-neuter all his pet cats. I'll pay, I said. The mother of all cats, Cash, was there, and he said she is probably pregnant again. It has only been two months after Cash's last delivery. I had been liaising with the girl who co-owns Cash, reminding her to bring Cash for spaying, but looks like we've missed the boat again. The girl also said she didn't ...

A Strange Case Of A Dumped Golden Retriever
8th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Someone called me yesterday, quite frantically too. Apparently, a Golden Retriever had been dumped in her house compound. This someone explained that perhaps another neighbour had taken some other neighbour's Golden and dumped it on her.I did not want to hear the complicated details of her neighbours' brawl. Can we just talk about the dog? She kept saying she could not keep this dog as she already has her own dog. So, okay, let's concentrate on what we can do to help this allegedly d...

A Street Kitten....now, Safe And Sound
7th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Prem has been looking after a street kitten and she was worried the kitten isn't street-smart enough to fend for herself. So, she called yesterday asking if we could help find a fosterer and later, an adopter.What great timing, because Aimy is coming all the way from Gombak today and Aimy is a cat-fosterer. So it was arranged.Prem had already got the kitten spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and is certified in very good health.Here she is. Want to adopt her, please contact Aimy on 019...

4 Kittens Vaccinated
7th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Aimy was asking me about vaccination for kittens. Since she does fostering, it pays to have her cats and kittens vaccinated.So, today, Aimy brought 6 kittens to be vaccinated under our subsidised rate. Two were not vaccinated because one was Gwen (former Popsy Tortoiseshell) who had already been vaccinated and another had diarrhoea. So, only four were vaccinated.This one was vaccinated.Is this Princess (from Jessy Lian)? And another three from here. The three white ones were vacc...

More "Stormy" And Heroic Ones!
7th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
I went to our panel vet two days ago, and was told another interesting tale by the vet's assistant when I enquired over Citta and mum.Remember I wrote a few days ago that Citta had made a great escape from her cage and freed her mum as well and both were caught playing in the ward?Well, Citta made another great escape...AGAIN! She suspects the only way Citta could have got out of this enclosure would be to have kangaroo-jumped out from the top. Can you imagine such a feat?Look at how high i...

The Dog Who Cornered Osama
7th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
This is from a forwarded email; the article is written by Alan Parker. I've blogged about this before when Osama was first captured, but not with so many details.When U.S. President Barack Obama went to Fort Campbell, Kentucky, last week for a highly publicized, but very private meeting with the commando team that killed Osama bin Laden, only one of the 81 members of the super-secret SEAL DevGru unit was identified by name: Cairo, the war dog.Cairo, like most canine members of the elite U.S. Nav...

Persian Mix Found...has Mange
7th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Punitha found a Persian mix cat at her office area yesterday. The cat has mange.From Punitha: I've attached pictures of the female cat with mange that I found today. She's not a pretty sight (yet) but Dr.Edmund says she will look stunning after completing her (one a week) jabs. She's a persian-mix, long-haired and is very sweet and gentle.She's probably an abandoned pet, don't you think? We've never had long-haired cats around office before. Owner probably didn't know h...

A Haven For TNR-Ed Cats At Washington Heights
7th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Never say "Oh, that's in the US so it can be done, but over here, no way!" - never say that, because if we do, it will really not be done here. It's just a convenient excuse for us NOT to do anything. We have to do it, and to keep pushing for it, and one day, it will be done.When I first started AnimalCare, I was also told it will never succeed and I will not be able to get the support. When I first wanted to raise funds through the tshirts, I was also told nobody would buy our tshirts....S...

Puppy Food For Din's Puppies (sent Today)
6th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Ever since Chew contacted me over Din's need of help to buy puppy food for the 8 orphaned puppies that he was willing to foster, I have been working at getting funds to help him. This morning, we raised enough, through friends, to purchase two big packs of puppy food for the 8 puppies, which we trust will last them for a few weeks. However, two of the puppies are sick and have been sent to the vet while 6 are still with Din. Chew came over to collect the food from Subang Jaya and he sent the foo...
