R = Rehome Or Return To Colony
7th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
Two people have written to me to discuss the disadvantages of returning spayed-neutered animals to the colony.
And today, with the post about foreigners eating dogs and cats, returning animals to the colony takes a backseat even more. A reader even said in view of the street animals being eaten, perhaps they may be better off with a hoarder.
To be killed and eaten OR to live under the hands of a hoarder – it all depends on what kind of hoarder we’re talking about here. It ranges fro...

Is It So Hard To Follow Rules?
7th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
Most of my days start off very nicely even with the barrage of emails (piled up from the night) that I have to respond to or the subsidy claim forms that had come in the day before whose reports I have to publish here (for our many donors) and claims I have to reimburse. I keep petty cash in four banks just so that I can transfer funds to the various rescuers (to give them the privilege of using their own bank account) and also so that AnimalCare does not have to pay the intergiro bank transfer ...

An After-Dinner Guest…
7th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
This morning, as I was about to leave for work, I suddenly noticed a fairly large animal (not sure if it was a dog or a cat) walking past my Bunny-Grille. I quickly took a peek and guess who it was?
Yay! It was Mr G!
He must have come in from the front windows (or from upstairs, I’m not sure) and he seemed a bit loss. Actually, I think he was a little embarrassed that he had come into my house without a proper invitation because he was actually trying very hard to get out.
I didn’...

Oh Gosh…is This Why Stray Dogs And Cats Are Disappearing?
7th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
From one of our readers:
Had a rather disturbing or interesting conversation with a businessman friend from Port Klang.
He brought up that his friend who own businesses at the port lost his 2 German Shepard and later discovered after much persuasions that his workers from a foreign country had consumed his dogs after making friends with his dogs after several months.
The more disturbing fact is that one my friend’s relative is a recruiter of foreign workers from the dog/cat eating country....

Updates On The Super Family (Maslinda’s)
7th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
If you remember, Koo was looking for fosterers for a cat-family who were living on the five-foot way in Shah Alam. I enlisted Maslinda’s help and she agreed.
The family was then brought by Koo to the vet’s for a check-up and subsequently to Maslinda’s place. We have pledged to supply food and take care of the medical bills of this family (full sponsorship). Koo has also pledged that he would be more than willing to reimburse us for the expenses, get the kittens adopted and retu...

Updates On Daisy, Dewey And Thor
6th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
From their fosterer:
Quick update on the 3 little ones. All 3 started drinking water this morning. They have monstrous appetite. The sofa in the living-room is theirs now. I took some funny photos of them sleeping. Thought would share them with you.All 3 are fine except they have a bit of fungal infection on their noses. They like to dip their faces into the food when they eat so I must keep them cleaned every-time after their meal. I think I must have missed a spot or 2. The infectio...

VERY URGENT – Help Needed For 12 Cats (Amira Sabri’s)
6th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
Calling all cat rescuers, your help is needed.
We have no time to scold or pass judgment as the lives of these 12 cats are at stake. If you can help, please help. We will subsidise the treatment for the sake of these cats and kittens. Let’s just pool our resources together and save their lives first. AnimalCare will subsidise the treatment, but we cannot take over the cats/kittens.
If you can help, please contact Amira, and take the poor cats/kittens to the vet for treatment.

Up Close With A Hoarder, And More On Hoarding
6th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
In April 2011, we received an appeal from a rescuer (at one of our events) to help a lady who was described as an “angel” to animals. Apparently, this lady keeps many animals and takes very good care of them. At least that was what we were told. We offered our medical subsidy for spay-neuter and medical treatment, but the rescuer said we should visit this lady and ask her what help she needed.
We did.
But what we saw was not anywhere near what was described to us.
This lady was a hoa...

Before We Say Goodnight…
5th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
In the midst of all this hullabaloo about hoarders, rescuers, responsible actions and what have you, allow me to bid you goodnight with this photo…
And so we have the hoarders, the rescuers, the fosterers, the caregivers, etc., but ultimately, what matters is love.
Simple, unconditional love, given in the present moment.
Goodnight, folks.
Sleep well.

When The Love For Pets Crosses The Line (a Youtube)

A reader shared this:

It is about an animal hoarder who had 21 pets (I think our hoarders here are worse in terms of the number of animals). She underwent treatment and now only has 7 pets (4 cats and 3 dogs).
Excerpts:
It was sometime after she said on camera that her animals were more important to her than her husband that the woman identified only as “Rob...

The Rescuers, The Hoarders And The Rehoming Process
5th Mar 2012, by AnimalCare
Thank you very much to all who have participated in the poll I set up last night: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/03/04/the-res cuers-and-hoarders-defend-themselves/
Your views have been most enlightening.
In just last week alone, I’ve had THREE bigtime rescuers applying for food subsidy, and all from out of Selangor.
1. One intends to breed and supports an illegal breeder, so she did not qualify at all. She understands, and withdrew her application.
2. The other is a confirmed hoarder by al...
