  • What a pleasant surprise!

    I gave a talk at the Kinrara Metta Buddhist Society this evening and as I was about to leave, the MC suddenly announced that I was not “allowed” to leave yet. Then, the devotees came forward and started giving me their personal donations for our Ketam Fund. I was very deeply touched by their kindness.…

  • A terrier rehomed!

    Here’s the terrier I was talking about yesterday. Found abandoned by Ms Lee in Gombak, and had an injured foot. I had arranged for the terrier to be brought to our panel vet in Section 17 for treatment this weekend, but guess what, he has already been rehomed by his rescuer, Ms Lee. Hooray!! Here’s…

  • Another kitten rescued

    You probably have read that my college students recently started an animal welfare society of which I am their adviser. As I was coming back from visiting Brownie in Puchong today, my students called saying they had just rescued a little kitten. Here’s little Celine, named after Celine (the one who is driving the car)!…

  • Brownie, the one-eyed dog

    This is Brownie, a one-eyed dog. Someone called me yesterday, asking me to please rehome him. It seems he had been abused, was rescued and brought to the shelter. His left eye had been completely bashed up, and was hanging outside the socket. The shelter wanted to euthanise him, but he resisted by clutching on…

  • The dogs’ new home

    Here’s a photo of Bro Sui and one of his helpers cementing the area where the dogs would be housed tomorrow. Our volunteer, Chinkah, was up there today, to deliver 10 packs of food, and he also helped Bro Sui buy the cement from Bentong town. The cement is sponsored by AnimalCare. I called Bro…

  • LLLF updates (from Bentong)

    Right now, as I am writing this, our volunteer, Chinkah has just sent the first 10 packs of vege food to Bentong. Take a look at the photo – the LLLF dogs (who have been on rice and eggs) seem to be enjoying the food very much. Over at SPCA, Shahrul tells me the Ketam…

  • Vegetarian dogs?

    Hi everyone,Many have written to me asking why the Bentong-bound dogs have to be vegetarian. Some have expressed concern saying that dogs are supposed to be carnivorous and meat protein is needed in their diet. Let me clarify here that it is NOT my choice at all. We asked Hai Tao Foundation for a favour…

    It’s been a very busy day again. But first of all, let me thank our donors for today – Boon Peng and Lee Fah Mei. Thank you very much for your generosity. And thank you too, to Chinkah for having arranged for the purchase of 20 packs of vege dog food at a big savings…

Nikoli is still at the vet’s. Since both are adults and are under the care of their feeder, both will be returned. Their feeder will continue looking after…

  • It “pours”…but in a good way!

    Hi folks, have I got my hands full today. Like they say, it doesn’t rain but it pours. It’s “pouring” from Cat-Heaven today, but in a good way. Before I could even pass Angel to Dr Veeranoot, Angel is now already adopted by a kind lady from USJ 11. This was done through Angel’s rescuer.…

    Today, the stars on shining on cats! Vics, our dear Cat-Angel who helped get Felix and Oscar rehomed, text me to ask if the two tabbies (my posting on 19th July) are still available. One of her friends would like to adopt them.I rang the clinic and Rani said they are already adopted, but Rani…

  • Angel is adopted!!!

    This is too good to be true, folks! Angel (our beautiful one-eyed cat) will be adopted by Dr Veeranoot Nissapatorn (aka Sis Nui). I just tried my luck and asked her, by email, “Would you like to adopt Angel, our one-eyed cat?” (I sent her photo, of course). And her reply came, “I would not…
