Urgently Required - Fosterer For Two Baby Kittens 16th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
I blogged this two days ago, but we have not been able to find any fosterer or adopter for these baby kittens. The rescuer, Wei Kien, only has until today after which he plans to surrender the kittens to the shelter where there is a strong possibility they would be put down because they are still too young. These kittens were rescued by Wei Kien from a monsoon drain three days ago and a neighbour is helping to foster, but only up to today. If you can help, please contact...

This morning, Roselin was so happy, she texted me to say Koo and his wife had successfully helped her (and friend, Masumi) to catch the last of the puppy from the Section 17 colony. "Koo and his wife are an amazing team", texted Roselin.Yes, don't we know? Koo has volunteered to help catch so many dogs now. The puppy, Jazz, was sent to our vet this morning, and has already been spayed under our sponsorship. Jazz is back with Roselin now. Here's an account from...

From Julie Pek:This is Malu @ Lu Lu. She was the 9th cat that was caught and spayed/neutered.One person was supposed to come and collect and put in safe sanctuary (after beingpaid the fees) but did not turn up.Lulu was left at the clinic for 2 weeks in the cage.

Mrs Lim's Male Cat Neutered 15th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Amy Tham was supposed to help Mrs Lim catch a female cat for spaying, but they landed up with a male cat instead because the female got away!So, anyway, they brought the male to be neutered this morning. Apparently, some of the stray cats had been poisoned in their apartment area, and this is really sad. All the more urgent to control the population. Neutered, brought home, and already eating!One male cat neutered, and SO many (hundreds!) unwanted births and untold suffering ha...

Kindness To Animal In Religions 15th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
When you have time this weekend, take some time and browse through this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boNjag7NP7oI found it so inspiring that across the major religions in the world, one thing is common - cherish all life and be kind to animals. And most religions teach that we ought be kinder to animals because they are helpless and innocent. They need us to protect them. And even if one day all religions disappear from the face of the earth and only KINDNESS remains, I think...

Fosterer/Adopter Needed Very Urgently For Two Baby Kittens 15th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Wei Kien and his family found these kittens:(Yes, they are completely adorable - a bluepoint and a Calico)Wei Kien writes: I found 2 very small kittens stranded in a monsoon drain nearby my housing area. I supposed the kittens were thrown there by some "ruthless & cruel people" as we did not notice any mother cat around the area. My mom, brother and I just could not bare the feeling to leave those kittens there screaming, shivering and waiting to die.To cut the story short, we saved the 2 li...

On Warding Off Unwanted Visitors To Our Garden, Etc. 15th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Here's more on how to ward off unwanted animal visitors for those who find them a bother. By the way, yes, this is AnimalCare (we encourage people to care for animals), but we fully accept that not every human will love animals or treat them compassionately, or be willing to accept them as they are. We also fully acknowledge that some people try very hard, like the person who wrote a comment in Tangy's posting, asking for help as her neighbour's numerous cats keep coming into her gar...

Anyone Wants To Spay A Cat On 27th July? (at Klinik Kembiri) 15th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Ever since Dina Shahab (bless her kind heart!) offered to share her SNIP rates at Klinik Kembiri with other rescuers, we have had a few takers, especially those who have many cats and don't mind travelling to Klinik Kembiri in Setapak. And these rescuers even pay the cost of spay-neuter by themselves since it's so affordable - RM25 for males and RM35 for females. You can't get it any cheaper than this. Right now, we have one rescuer, Nabilah, who wants to send two cats on...

The 2 Penang Dogs Are Gone 15th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Huey sent me a link, but it's in Chinese writing, so I couldn't read it. Apparently, according to it, the 2 Penang dogs were already put down yesterday. Huey also told me that a friend met the lady-owner of the dogs earlier and she was crying most bitterly. The couple had fought a long hard battle to save their dogs. They lost. I can't even begin to imagine their sadness and feelings of helplessness. I do not know what makes some humans do such evil things and...

I have just received the sad news from my friend that the 2 Penang dogs will be euthanised tomorrow. Apparently, the decision is final. I hope this news is not true, or maybe there is chance of a reprieve, but whatever it is, we have to do the needful.

In Loving Memory Of Dodo, Mayo Clinic's Beloved Resident Cat 14th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
I went to Mayo Clinic today to settle our bills, and was told the sad news that Dodo, their clinic's resident cat, had just passed away. Alex, the vet's assistant, was so sad. So was the doctor. Apparently, Dodo only started showing signs of kidney problems yesterday, and Dr Khor had put him on drips. This morning Dodo did not want to be in the cage, and made a lot of noise, indicating he wanted to come out. So, Alex took out the drip and Rani let him out. Dodo he walked ...

Taking Karuna For A Walk 14th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
I decided to take Karuna for a walk this morning, with the permission of the vets. The vet's assistant told me Karuna would get all excited, but only for two reasons - walk and food. Since she had already been fed, I decided I would take her for a walk. Okay, girl. Enough of showing that sad face. You're going for a walk. Here we go. She's so happy and she's not even limping. The wounds are healing very well. She has got these lumps all over her ...

Peggy Tiong looks after the stray cats in around her house. Some of the strays even bring their families to her house to seek shelter. Today, she brought two blue kittens for a check-up and vaccination. One of the kittens was having some limping problem yesterday. This is the limping one, but he seems better today. Still walks with a bit of a hunch, though. Being vaccinated. Peggy says she'd rather not look....They are brother and sister, and are up for ad...

If You Have A Problem With Cats.... 14th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Someone left a comment asking how to deal with a neighbour's cats who are causing a lot of trouble for her. She has spoken to the neighbour but to no avail. She doesn't want to report to the authorities knowing that the authorities would just capture and kill.I truly empathise with her. Here's a leaflet from the Cat Welfare Society, Singapore. They have given me permission to use it freely.On the left side is what to use if you DON'T like cats. On the right is how to attract cats int...
