  • The No Plastic Bag Bazaar

    Hi everyone! What a long, long day, but it was great fun and the atmosphere was a happy and joyful one. First, AnimalCare wants to thank TP Lim, CK Chang and the Recyclists for inviting us to participate in this programme. Thank you, too, for giving us the 15 min slot to speak. Second, many…

  • Of cat bites

    Good morning, everyone. I did not know a cat bite (or more correctly, a cat “puncture”) can be quite nasty. My finger swelled up pretty bad and I actually could not even move much of my hand all day. Was too busy yesterday to attend to it because I was busy preparing things for the…

  • Remember Maxis?

    Maxis is going in for surgery on Tuesday. His rescuer has managed to raise some funds from her friends. AnimalCare will sponsor the balance of the cost of the surgery. We hope this first surgery will be successful and can address the problem of Maxis’ leg. The fosterer says Maxis is in great pain. Let…

  • Two more adopted today

    That’s Ida and family with the two kittens they adopted today. These two kittens belong to the stray mother-cat from Maria (in the second photo) whom we got spayed a few days ago. The mother-cat did not recognise her kittens anymore, so I don’t feel so bad giving up her kittens for adoption today. This…

  • Joanie search and the alley cats

    I went Joanie searching again today, and as usual ended up feeding the strays in my neighbourhood. The food I had left for Joanie was eaten up, but only in two places, so I will concentrate on these two spots now. I did not see Joanie anywhere. But I saw the three Joanie look-alikes.

  • Suki meets Cleo up close

    Cleo (the tri-coloured princess in the family) has been one of the last to accept Suki. Well, you know what happens when two ladies are seen to be wearing the same clothes, right? That explains it all… Today, I decided to put them up close together. With mackerel as “bait”, of course. And it worked!…

  • Of ping pong balls and tudung periuks

    Happiness is a brightly-coloured ball. That’s Suki playing with the orange ping pong ball which has been Little Chief and Indy’s childhood toy. And we got her the pink ball with a bell, too. Somehow, she still prefers the orange-coloured ball, which incidentally, is already nipped (thanks to the ever boisterous Indy Jones!). Then, after…

  • Thank you to today’s donor

    Many thanks to Lim Xin Ying for her generous donation to AnimalCare. We would once again like to convey our thanks to the many donors and supporters of AnimalCare. Many animals have benefited from your kindness – thank you!

  • Updates on Patches, from Ervina

    Remember Patches? The cat who was diagnosed with glaucoma and was supposedly going blind? Ervina (his rescuer, a UiTM student) adopted him, and guess what? Miracles do happen…when we believe (and we make some effort).Here’s an update from Ervina:Patches’ eye has definitely looked better than ever! The blood clot I told u before is almost…

  • Lone kitten up for adoption

    I just text Iskandar, and both he and the little kitty (he had just adopted) have arrived safely in Ipoh. Iskandar text back to say the little one is so “manja”. We hope Iskandar and his wife will be very happy with the latest addition to their cat family at home. Meanwhile, the kitty’s sibling…

  • Adopted, all the way to Ipoh, too!

    This is Iskandar. He is from Ipoh and he text me today asking if I had kittens for adoption. Of course I have! So, to cut a long story short, here’s Iskandar with the kitten of his choice. It’s one of Rani’s. Iskandar is taking the little one back to Ipoh today. He and his…

  • Me and Bobby

    XL and XS?

  • Don’t you just love this?

    They don’t bitch behind your back. Even if they do, it’s in a language you can’t possibly understand. So that’s ok. If they are not happy, they “tell” you straight in the face and make sure you know it. AND repent for it!Most importantly, animals are so sincere. What you see is what you get.…

  • No Joanie sightings again

    I went Joanie searching again this morning and came across three grey tabbies that looked like her from afar. But it’s not her. These were not afraid of me, and came close enough to eat the food I had placed on the ground. The food I had left at the three spots yesterday evening had…

  • This is sheer BLISS

    Every cat will eventually find his or her space.   Looks like little Suki has found (claimed?) hers.
