A friend of mine found this single mother and 3 kittens dumped in a box by the road. Someone had abandoned the mum. My friend didn't have the space to foster them. She asked for my help to foster them for 2 weeks but so far she has been unsuccessful in finding another foster or person to adopt. I agreed on 2 wks, because I know that in 2 weeks I will be outstation. I myself already have 2 adult cats who know my routine; I work long hours with no one else at home to help. My friend is running out of options and if we give the mother and kittens up now, these kittens will most probably be put to sleep. They are only 1.5 mths old, but they are already potty trained and in their playful development stage. After playtime, they still need mama's milk to sleep. Mama is very easy to hold, handle and very gentle, patient n quiet. They deserve to have a chance to live life in a safe place with plenty of love and company. If any fosterer can take over, or if anyone can take them in till they are adopted, please let me know soon because the 2 weeks are almost up and I have to go outstation on 23 April 2010.
It is my intention to offer them for adoption when the kitten is at the right age. Since WorkingLady urgently required for a fosterer, I just offer my assistance before I take another batch of abandoned kitten elsewhere but if she has other fosterer in mind, I don't mind to withdraw.
WorkingLady.. Dont mention tht.. i am just ordinary human being who is doing my part whenever/wherever i can. I cant give 5 star accomodation or service to them but I try to give the best which I am capable of.
I sincerely appreciate all who have expressed interest in adopting the kittens. I think it would be better if the kittens are fostered together as a family, with the mum, until they are a little older at 2.5 - 3.0 months, since the first 3 months is when they still need mother's milk to strengthen their immunity. Without a good start they would easily fall sick. It wouldn't be a good idea to separate them now. If anyone is still interested in adopting, please do communicate with Pak Lubis once they are 3 mths old, maybe within 5-6 weeks from now (end of May).
workinglady : thanx for replying... i'm looking for a pair of kittens since my housemate didnt allow me to have any pets at home only 2pets allowed...thats why i cant adopt the whole family..
Fatihah,klu housemate you tak suka kucing,lbh baik u jgn pelihara kucing.byk kes telah berlaku dimana housemate yg tak suka kucing membiarkan kucing keluar sesuka ati dan tak tutup pintu atau tingkap dan akhirnya kucing mati jatuh atau kena langgar kereta. dah byk berlaku.saya minta tolong sesangat awak jgn adopt kucing klu your housemate tak suka.hati org klu tak suka,dia bukan peduli. depan kita mmg baik,belakang kita tak tau. yg kucing mati pasal housemate punya kerja berlaku dgn kwn2 dlm Petfinder juga.
macgyverjune, my housemate bkn xske kucing die cuma xnk bela... so i adopt ni,kucing akn sntiase bwh jgaan i... dm cage dkt luar rumah... btw my housemate jarang ade rumah...i hope she is not mean to let my kittens/cats keluar cage..
Dear Fatihah, If you gonna keep those kittens in a cage outside your house, I urge you pls to reconsider of adopting. Kesian mereka, takda freedom and also expose to danger and cuaca.
Lagi, you nak sepasang male dan female. WHY??? Bukan untuk breeding ya?! i hope NOT! Coz dah banyak kuching dibuang orang. So pls pls neutered/spayed whatever animal you plan to adopt k.
I fikir its better after you have a proper place of your own (without a housemate yang tak suka haiwan), then only you consider of rescuing any animal la. Lebih baik this way. Pls take my suggestion...
hmmm kenapa kucing cage kat luar rumah pulak? cuaca dahlah x elok Sekarang. kejap panas kejap hujan. Agree completely with kak June and angel soo. bela kucing ni besar responsibility...mcm jaga anak manusia juga...
Maaf ya June, Angelsoo dan Fareen. Saya pun sebenarnya bela ibu dan anak kucing yg saya jumpa diluar rumah. Ya memang pada hakikatnya ia terkeluar dari rumah dan bukan dalam rumah saya sebenar. Tetapi walau pun ia terkeluar dari rumah, mereka ada sebuah rumah/pondok tersendiri, beratapkan abestos berdinding plywood serta ada playgroundnya sendiri malahan berpagar seadanya. Mereka bebas bermain dikawasan berpagar dan memanjat pokok2 yg ada disitu spt pokok betik, nangka dan pokok kelapa ditanah seluas 600 metre persegi (6450 kaki persegi). Didalam pondok tersebut saya letakan 3 tier cage dan pintunya tidak pernah tutup dimana saya letakan makanan dan minuman. Tetapi litter tray letak diluar.. Masa saya membela bnyk anak kucing yg saya jumpa, kebanyakan mereka suka tidor dalam cage kerana ada tilam begitu juga ibu kucing , cuma kalau siang mereka tak suka duduk dlm cage mungkin panas agaknya .. Mereka Suka lepak bwh pokok terutama dalam rimbunan pokok pandan atau bekejar2 sambil memanjat pokok Cage tsbt hnya ditutup pintu yang sebelah atas bila terdapat kucing baru datang untuk tempoh penyesuaian. Cage tersebut boleh diubah jadi 2 tkt dan stiap tingkat ada 2 tier. Kucing yg saya bela sebegini kena selalu ada stock ubat cacing, ubat kutu dan ubat sakit mata kerana mereka lebih terdedah kepada penyakit ini.
Pak Lubis,keadaan rmh kita berbeza.rmh saya apartment so I cannot afford to let them loose outside. Mcm rmh mak saya kat KK,rmh landed property.kucing mak saya suma dah neuter.mak saya cat proofting rmh dia supaya kucing dia tak kuar. nampak gaya kuicng mak saya pun tak pernah jalan jauh2 coz penakut & juga mgkn sebab dah dikembiri.kawasan lapang rmh mak saya byk pokok2,rumput2,ada bekas reban ayam skrg dah jd tempat kucing melepak.so I think mcm tu ok.tp dlm kes si Fatihah ni lain sikit.dia kurang pengalaman handle kucing & utk dia cage & biar kucing kat luar menunjukkan yg dia tidak tau what to expect bila memelihara kucing.cage kucing all day and nite serupa mcm kena penjara.lbh baik tak payah pelihara kuicng.
angelsoo,fareen,macgyverjune thanks for ur comments sorry for saying this but all of u r makin it hard for me yes mmg i nk ltak kucing tu luar rumah,mcm mane pak labis tu ckp... sbb kucing i sume dok luar rumah...n there isnt any prob with it i know how to take care of them(pls take a look at my profile)
Hehe Pak Lubis, mintak maaf kalau terasa. Fareen memang sedia maklum dengan pengalaman Pak Lubis, walaupun tak pernah pergi umah Pak Lubis, Fareen tak musykil langsung dengan cara2 Pak Lubis jaga kucing :) Cuma kita comment2 kat Fatihah ni, to make sure she knows what she's doing. Normally orang yang experience tak post ke semua profile kucing untuk adopt kucing and tak mintak kucing yang kecik2 saja. Lebih2 lagi kalau kucing tu sedang menyusu. That's why kita musykil dengan pengalaman dia. Tambah lagi dengan keadaan housemate tak mau jaga kucing lah, pastu nak taruk kucing kat luar lah etc....itu saja...
Fatihah, we have no intentions to make life difficult for you. I'm fully aware of your pet experience based on what is stated in your profile. But from the way you're approaching this, I'm doubtful of your knowledge. We at PF are all pet lovers (most) and we help/advise eachother. But if you feel we are against you, well...too bad. I've said my peace, good luck in your pet endeavours. Peace.
It's ok my only intention to join this website is because i am looking for kittens but its ok i'm going to look it elsewhere since evrybody is looking bad to me.. bubbye!
Fatihah, please do not take the comments badly. They are not meant to make things difficult for you. Yes, your profile says you have 5 years of experience with caring for cats, but none of us knows everything. I learn new things from Petfinder members all the time, and I expect I'll be learning new things about cats for the rest of my life. Please try to accept their comments as helpful advice! :-)
