Sunsuper-Food For PAWS, With Our Heartfelt Gratitude

PAWS has helped us a lot ever since we started, right from the days of our Klang rescue until now. Their management has offered us boarding for our Klang and Selayang rescues, subsidised vaccinations for the needy rescuers who come through us, reduced surrender rates (sometimes, totally waived) for financially-deprived rescuers, free spay-neuter for Meiji and Kwai Chee at Teluk Chamang, offered to provide free spay-neuter for several other bigtime rescuers (but the rescuers themselves could not source for a sheltered area with electricity and water, so it could not be done), transport for emergency rescue work (Old Klang dogs and Sunshine Courage) and most of all, sound advice when we most needed it and help, very sincerely given, with no strings attached at all, asking nothing in return. �How often I could not thank PAWS openly because they did not want the publicity.

My personal thanks to PAWS go back to the days when I first fostered Cow, Bunny and Pole. I had never touched a cat all my life and here I was, with 3 newborn kittens, picked up from the roadside. I rang PAWS and the officer who took the call taught me what to do, step by step. Cow, Bunny and Pole survived, and I have since passed his step-by-step infant-animal caregiving procedures to many, many first-time rescuers.

I became a caregiver because of my success in nursing Cow, Bunny and Pole and almost exactly 3 years later, I started AnimalCare to extend help to other rescuers-caregivers. So, a�good deed, even in a phonecall, goes around and around, many times over. Sometimes a good deed proliferates into great deeds.

PAWS was also one of the very first organisations to publicise our Sunsuper participation on their Facebook page to help us garner votes. And no, I did not ask. PAWS did it by themselves. For this, we are so grateful.

Our Sunsuper-food sharing is miniscule and almost negligible compared to the amount of help PAWS has given us thus far, so we humbly hope they will take it as a small token of goodwill, friendship and gratitude from us, all in the spirit of sharing and rejoicing.

A message from PAWS:

Dear Kah Yein,

It has always been an honour to be of help to you and your organisation. We are afterall doing what we are doing for those poor unwanted souls. If only all of us can work together with less politics, I am sure we can and will achieve much much more.

Deep inside me, I would very much like you to give the allocation meant for us to some other group that are more in need but I can’t refuse your kind thoughts and gift as I don’t have the authority to say no.

With heartfelt gratitude and thanks, we gracefully accept your generosity.

Thank you and God bless.

Rgds,

While we endeavour to practise no-kill with the animals that come through us and we know that PAWS has a euthanasia policy in place, we understand that their numbers is huge while ours is very small in comparison. So while we can afford to give palliative care to sick and dying animals and we have the resources to nurse infant animals; PAWS does not because they do not have the resources or the manpower to do so. But all said, PAWS does a great job in providing food and shelter to hundreds of street animals and their monthly adoption rate is impressive too. That is something we cannot do. So, to each its own, and let’s look at all the good each organisation does, and rejoice in that.
