MIMI CHITTA NEEDS A TEMPORARY HOME
25th Aug 2011, by Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better
Our noseless dog MIMI CHITTA is well and ready to be discharged from the vet. We now have to look for a place for her as we are unsure if we want to send her back to where she was so brutally maimed.
Her owner says she is willing to take MIMI CHITTA back but told us that we should give her away if someone else wants her.
However, they want MIMI CHITTA's mother MA BARKER back.
MIMI CHITTA has learnt to cope with her disability and eats well.
MIMI CHITTA - cannot be confined so she's seen her...

Are You Wearing Dog Leather?
25th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
This is from PETA:Where does the leather for purses, shoes, and belts come from? Many of us may think that we know the answer but don't know what animal the skin was taken from — or how that animal suffered. The truth is quite disturbing. Undercover investigators have provided PETA with horrifying photographs of dogs in Thailand as they were being slaughtered so that their skins could be tanned for leather. The photographs show terrified dogs sitting in crowded cages, awaiting their own ...

Atrocious Delicacies In China
25th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Whenever there is atrocious news about food, it always seems to come from China.A friend sent me photos (which I shall not reproduce here, because it took me two days before I dared look at the photos - you can probably google for them if you do a word search on "waxed dogs and cats in China").Yes, apparently, the Chinese in China capture dogs and cats, wax them and sell them as "delicacies" and the Chinese consumers eat them.The photos are....very heart-wrenching, more so, to dog- and cat- love...

The All-Elusive Herbie Was At The Neighbour's!
25th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Aimy texted a few days ago to say she has finally spotted Herbie again - it looks like Herbie has chosen to live with her neighbour now. Herbie is this extremely spunky little kitten (estimated to be about 5 months old) whose rescuer/feeder had to give up for fostering/adoption because Herbie had made her place of work her "home". The boss wasn't too happy about a cat making herself at home at the office, so the feeder asked if I could find a fosterer/rehomer for Herbie. Aimy offered...

A Little Cat And His Caregiver's Perseverance
25th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Mas Ayu shared this:Very recently, I had this experience concerning a one year-old male stray cat which I have been caring for since he was dumped as a very tiny kitten alongside with his brother early last year. They had both looked similar, both white and orange, so having run out of nice boy names temporarily, I had named the brother O/W No.1 and him O/W No.2.Early last week, I had noticed No.2 sleeping on a cardboard box in a corner, not his usual active self and he had not come rushing for ...

Dog With Two Crushed Legs
24th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
I was at our vet's this evening and overheard an emergency case they handled yesterday evening. Apparently, an owner had brought in her pet dog (not sure whether it's a Golden Retriever or Labrador, but it's one of those) with two crushed legs. The story goes (thus have I heard) that the owner came back and the automatic gate opened. The dog ran out. The owner gave chase but the dog was faster. By the time the owner came back to the house, the dog had returned on its own, but was blee...

From Mrs Wong:http://theage.domain.com.au/real-estate-news/ for-all-dwellers-great-and-small-20110819-1j0ox.ht mlAs backyards shrink and people work more hours, pets' needs are being factored into housing design.Some architects would think they were barking. But when Madge Alexandra's clients asked her to consider the needs of their dog and two cats when designing their new Northcote house, she was pleased.''Most people want a cat or dog flap in an outside door. But otherwise, it's not common to...

Dog Thefts On The Increase
24th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Kar Ven shared this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-cana da-14637989What is the world coming to? And what would humans resort to next, all for the sake of raking in more money by victimising the weak and defenseless?You know how it is that we are usually about 30 years behind the West in "catching up" with what they do (which isn't necessary, really, but that's the way of the world due to colonisation).I can only hope that pet thefts will not develop into a crime here.

Rabbits In Need Of Rescue/help
24th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Mun Ee (t_munee868@hotmail.com) has brought this to our attention: Just now i walked pass this pet store at Pandan Indah. I saw this man looking beside a trash bin. I looked at what he was looking at, to my horror, there were 3 rabbits in a cage. They have very very very bad skin disease and their legs were so weak that they couldn't move. The skin disease was so bad that they don't even look like rabbits. Attached are some pictures of the rabbits. We do not know if the petshop has thrown...

Thirsty Kitty Cat
24th Aug 2011, by Dr Rayya's Online Veterinary Journal
This week I have been blessed with what I call a good cat run. I have had heaps of my geriatric cats come in for checkups or follow-up examinations. While I am usually psyched about seeing my feline friends, they do not share the same sentiment.
They arrive feeling flustered, humiliated and worst of all mortified at being in my consultation room.
I had two main coons today that live in the same household that were brought in at separate times. They both hid under the lid of their dismantled...

A Cat Family And Their New Owners (hopefully!)
24th Aug 2011, by AnimalCare
Christine has been writing to me to ask about this stray mother-cat and her kittens who lives around her house. This is Christine's first time learning to care for cats and so I thought a trip to the vet's would be good. At the same time, the cats can go for a check-up, too, since one of the kittens have diarrhoea. So, Christine came to borrow my carrier yesterday, and she managed to catch all three (mother and the kittens) today. That's Christine in yellow and her daughter, Zoey. Zoey says...
