Two Ginger Popsicles Are Adopted!!
12th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Our vet had so kindly allowed Nandhini to put the Popsicles up for adoption at his clinic, so Nandhini sent two gingers and two tortoiseshells on Saturday. Today, Nandhini was informed that the two gingers have been adopted!!So, there are now two more tortoiseshells. One more ginger popsy (Lilo) is still with Nandhini as Lilo still had a bit of diarrhoea on Saturday, but is okay now. I hope we can get all the Popsicles adopted soon.P.S. The Popsicles are the 5 kittens dum...

A friend from Ipoh, Chew Keang, alerted me to Kelly Tan and Jacinta Emmanuel's dog shelter in Ipoh a few weeks ago.

This morning, Kelly Tan called me and explained that they are in dire straits right now. They need funds very urgently to help sustain and maintain their 100 dogs located at various small shelters which th...

Rescued Puppies For Adoption (urgent)
11th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
This is a request from YF:An aunty jogger rescued these puppies from the edge of a forest. She is fostering the puppies and she hopes they can be adopted ASAP as her health is not very good. She said she has seen authorities in yellow vest (no, not Bersih people, just security people) catching puppies. Please advertise them in AnimalCare and Petfinder. Spaying will be sponsored by AnimalCare or Metta Karuna. I will donate back to the organisations. As she cannot speak English...

Updates On Karuna (doing Well!)
11th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Here's Karuna, folks...According to the vets, she is doing as well as can be expected of such an old dog and one who was brought in in this state. The daily cleaning of the bite wounds continues. Karuna is still weak, but she is able to walk to a corner to poo, and the best news is that she has a great appetite!She looks pretty sad...poor thing. I suppose that's how an old dog feels when she has no proper home or people to love her. The bullying and attack by the pack of ...

Congratulations To All Pikachus And Tweety Birds!
11th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
I continue to be awed and inspired by all our brave and heroic yellow-coloured friends and even though this is a blog about animals, I'll make an exception and pay tribute to them all. The reason you see fewer postings here is because I'm still reading all the touching and inspiring Bersih stories on the Net! Perhaps the animals would also benefit when we have more caring and righteous leaders. Perhaps we can then push for no-kill at the pounds and CNRM on the streets and we wo...

Peek-A-Boo!
10th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Eh...who's this?Why, it's Cow the Mau!Cow has been extremely "cooperative" with our medicine-feeding endeavours in the last two days. Today has been extremely smooth-sailing. He actually came to us asking to be caught so that he could take his medicine....would you believe that?He allows us to plonk him into the carrier, and takes his medicines (two pills) without any fuss whatsoever. Then, we heap praises on him and he gets a generous serving of Fussie Cat.But now, I thi...

Updates On Karuna, The Old Dog
10th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
In the midst of having so much to do and what with the historic Bersih Rally on Saturday (been reading all the inspiring and touching stories of true unity), I forgot to post updates on Karuna, the old dog rescued after being bitten by a pack of wild dogs at the playground near the temple. I visited Karuna on Friday after work and she seemed much better. I took photos too, but they turned out too dark as the lights had fused in the boarding area. The vet said they will proceed ...

Koda And Winter, Two White Cats For Adoption
10th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Koda and Winter go back a long way with rescuer, Punitha. They are both adorable and....white (we know certain colours go more easily - that's reality).Koda is 4 months old and will be neutered soon. Winter is 7 months and already neutered. Both are males. Both are also toilet-trained (litter - sand). They know how to use the scratch-post and are therefore "furniture safe"! Koda and Winter are sociable (not timid around strangers) and friendly around other cat...

10th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
From Mrs Wong:Thanks to spay and neuter programs and public education campaigns the hard work of animal rescue groups across the country is paying off by saving millions of lives. Experts reported that fewer animals will die this year because sterilization is becoming part of responsible pet ownership.According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the Humane Society International less than 4 million cats and dogs will be euthanized in the U.S. this year. The numbe...

Cow Mau, The Pussy-Cat...sometimes!
10th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Thank you, everyone, for writing in to offer tips on how to give the COW a pill. We only lost one round on Day 4, but regained our "seat" of success in the afternoon that. The carrier trick still works. He's such a pussy-cat when we put him into the carrier, and he takes his pills, after a few efforts! Yesterday, he was almost in a most sorry state when he did not come in for breakfast with the rest, but sat in the living room, looking really forlorn. Poor Cow....14...

And Kimba Is Adopted Too!
10th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Nandhini's phone had been ringing almost non-stop ever since I put up the posting on Kimba. A total of NINE people have offered to either foster or adopt the cute little blue-point kitten who was rescued from the middle of the road. The first to call in was Sharon, minutes after my posting was up. After vetting through all the potential offers, Nandhini decided to let Sharon adopt Kimba since she has children who love pets and can play with Kimba, and Sharon also has a poodle, ...

A Reflection On Queenie's Case
9th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
There is a comment on our posting on Queenie's unfortunate passing after being spayed. The commentor suggested that the animals be boarded at the vet's instead of being discharged. When we first started, I did ask for boarding, but our vets advised against this due to the following reasons:1. There is no 24-hour monitoring at their clinics. Most clinics close at 7pm and the animals are left on their own through the night. The clinics only open at about 10am the next...

From Koo:As per our appointment, I arrived at 7.30pm sharp yesterday (Thursday,7 July) to the guard entrance of Sis Nui's apartment block inKerinchi. Along the way, I noticed there were many food stalls (noshortage of food supply for the cats) along the road, heavy (foot andcar) traffic (constant danger to the strays) everywhere which islikely the result of a concentration of high-rise living quarters.I was waiting at the guardhouse for Sis Nui to fetch me when Iobserved a curious scene. &...

Queenie, Spayed....and Lost
9th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Yesterday, Joanne sent one of the factory dogs, Queenie, to be spayed at the vet in Klang. Joanne wrote to me last night:Queenie was taken her weight, 14kg and given her vaccination. She was a little afraid but still calm as she is used to people and luckily my foreign worker colleague who always feed Queenie followed me to the clinic. The vet said Queenie can be picked up after 2pm. We picked Queenie up ard 5.30pm today and she was wagging her tail when she saw us. I took a...

Fosterer/Adopter Needed Urgently For A Bluepoint Kitten (just Rescued)
8th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
Nandhini rescued this white kitten from the middle of the road somewhere in Cyberjaya. The kitten was crawling on the road and Nandhini thought he was injured. The kitten, a bluepoint, has been sent to our panel vet for a check-up and he has been given a clean bill of health. There is nothing wrong with him. He was just...well, in the middle of the road and was in danger. Our vet has dewormed and frontlined him. Nandhini is urgently looking for a fosterer or a...

Day 4, Round 1....goes To Cow....sobs
8th Jul 2011, by AnimalCare
As of 5.10am until now, I have failed to catch Cow to put him into the carrier. He's elusive and ferocious at the same time....Here he is, so near and yet so far.There's no way I could catch him this morning. I tried, and he went totally ballistic, claws and jaws. Looks like Plans B, C and D won't even work because they all require me to put Cow into the carrier. Now, I cannot even get him into the carrier. Well, so much for contingency plans....Looks like the Cow h...
