Willy Must Have Gone “on Leave” Again
26th Jan 2014, by AnimalCare
Yesterday morning, Willy did not turn up for breakfast.
I sort of “knew” that he won’t be coming.
Somehow, you just “know”.
Willy has this habit of disappearing during festive seasons. He disappeared for 10 days during Hari Raya, but reappeared after that long break. I was worried sick that time until I realised perhaps he had a home and his owner had sent him for Hari Raya boarding.
But then, he disappeared for another holiday as well after that, and now, he has di...

A Quilt Cover And A Blankie For A Birthday Boy
26th Jan 2014, by AnimalCare
Not too long ago, a friend asked if my mum could help make a quilt cover for her and in return, she would give a generous donation to AnimalCare. She drew the design for us too. The quilt cover was meant for Chinese New Year.
Here it is:
Thank you very much for your generous donation for the animals!
And another friend asked if we could make a blankie for a birthday boy whose Japanese name is “dragon”.
So, I sewed this blanket, making it as boyish as possible. Stripes give it a mascu...

FOOD FOR 1,305 RESCUED DOGS & CATS IN UKRAINE
26th Jan 2014, by The Great Animal Rescue Chase
Sharing this Post Helps So Much!!!
The Harmony Fund is helping sponsor the feeding of 1,305 cats and dogs at the Shelter Kiev SOS in Ukraine - an extraordinary refuge with an incredible back-story.
In the early 90s, the shelter's founder Tamara Tarnawska gathered fellow journalists and, with the use of hidden cameras, they revealed a long-time practice rounding up stray dogs and cats to be killed for their fur at a local factory. After Tamara brought down a massive worldwide protest against ...

OWL FOUND IN VACANT BUILDING SOARS FREE!
Last week, a snowy owl was rescued after it became trapped inside a vacant building on India Street in Portland, Maine. Tom Gagne, an experienced falconer, rescued the owl from the third floor of the Grand Trunk Railroad building. After spending a few days convalescing at Avian Haven, this one was ready to fly free again and released over a nearby marsh. So thankful to all who cared for this beautiful creature.

Click, Click, Click!
25th Jan 2014, by AnimalCare
I was motivated by the two articles on photographing animals, so I took some pictures of my ever-ready model, Ginger, yesterday.
It’s not the angle, Ginger really has significantly big paws. It’s really cute, and we call them his “puppy paws”.
Peek-a-boo!
Take the photos at eye level, right?
Oh, I took many more, but these are the more “presentable” ones! So yes, I have a long way to go…
And yes, that’s a Minion blanket! Wait for it…after ...

The Patio8 In The Morning
25th Jan 2014, by AnimalCare
This was yesterday’s early morning breakfast.
Willy comes to the patio nowadays.
After months of confining Timmy in the cage during meals, he still has not learnt that he cannot snatch other cats’ food.
Luckily Mr Zurik does not snatch food. However, he has this habit of butting my hand. For example, when he sees me scooping food into his bowl, he would butt my hand off so that he can get to the food immediately. And his head-butt is VERY strong.
Now, why is Vincent also in the ...

Misa Minnie The Smart Puppy
24th Jan 2014, by PetFinder.my
Wondering how smart a doggy can be?
Check out Misa Minnie, a Yorkie puppy who loves treats, training, and California sunshine.
At a tender age of 7 months, she's already mastered tons of tricks such as be sad, sit pretty, roll over, bang (playdead), be sad, pray, sit, knock it down, wave & more!
With the right training (and of course, incentives!), your beloved furry can be as smart too!
Have a great weekend ahead!

JANUARY 2014 - Our MissionHELP project to neuter community cats with Mr Lee in Kajang has come to a happy end!
Since Nov 2013, Mr Lee managed to trap 3 cats with the cat trap we loaned him. All 3 cats were spayed at our clinic, and released back into the neighbourhood. Mr Lee is very pleased, as they will not be producing anymore kittens in the back alley anymore!
Many thanks to the donors who help us continue our MissionHELP work :)
