  • Kittens from Brickfields, for adoption

    These are three of the four kittens from Brickfields. I’ve just taken their mother for spaying. The kittens are two months old and already on solid food. One is white and blue-eyed. The other is white with a few black patches and green-eyed. Both are now being fostered. We could not catch one more –…

  • A mother-cat from Brickfields spayed

    I went down to Brickfields today, to collect a mother-cat who had just delivered four babies two months ago, to be spayed. The feeder is Maria Lye. Rescuer Agnes, was there, to lend a hand. They managed to catch two of her kittens, and we would like to put them up for adoption. The photo…

  • A treat of sardines

    I went again, this evening, with a can of sardines, to the exact spot where Joanie had come out from this morning. I looked inside the drain on both sides, and she was not there.     I brought a little bowl, and left some sardines there with the hope that she might come out…

  • BimBim Updates from Raihan

    Here are some photos of BimBim, the orange kitten adopted by Raihan. Raihan is very happy with BimBim. She even bought a kitty-bed online for BimBim and it just arrived today. It is always so nice to hear happy stories like this. I am so glad BimBim and Raihan are one happy family now!

  • We FED Joanie today!!

    Yesterday, Hong Yee (the lady who introduced me to Aunty Kiew) emailed to ask if it would help if she brought Aunty Kiew over to my house to try and look for Joanie. I guess it is worth a try, so Hong Yee and Aunty Kiew came this morning, at about 11am. We patrolled the…

  • Searching for Joanie with my cats

    That’s the drain I first spotted Joanie in, it is right under the pavement leading to my house. I crawled through it (it’s much smaller than it looks), and was this close to her, but she dashed off.That’s Pole, Cow and Bunny helping me search this evening. The last photo shows the drain into the…

  • Kwanjai and Kwanta

    Here are the photos of our “gifts of the heart and of the eye”, Kwanta and Kwanjai, adopted by Dr Veeranoot sometime ago. I had forgotten to insert my memory card into my camera during the adoption, so I did not get to take a photo. Dr Veeranoot was initially unsure if she could look…

  • About neutering

    My friend from Spore Community Cats sent a very good Q&A; on neutering from the religious point of view. If you are interested, please click on CNRM in the labels and read the comments. One of the points raised which I think I should highlight is this: Some people are still fearful of the moral…

  • The vet says…(about Joanie)

    I told Joanie’s vet today, that Joanie has left my house. I had waited until today, just in case she might come back. Also, I’m more composed now. Yesterday, I was fluctuating between breaking down and putting up a brave front, and the slightest word would swing me to the former. Of course the vet…

  • Thank you for your prayers

    I would like to thank all of you who have written to me personally to offer comfort ever since Joanie left home. I guess being a feral cat, it was bound to happen sooner or later. I was unprepared for it to have happened so soon. It is ironical that I noticed a change of…

  • Three more cats spayed

    The three cats above were spayed a few days ago and returned to their owner yesterday, sponsored by AnimalCare. We thank volunteer, Agnes Cheong, for taking charge of this case. The first two photos show the daughters, and the mom is in the third photo. The fourth photo shows the whole family when they reached…

  • It’s night time now

    At dinner time, the TV was playing Disney’s Peter Pan and when it came to the part where Wendy was singing to the Lost Boys about a mother’s love, all my defenses broke down and I went into the kitchen to have a “good cry” (I wonder now, why they call it a “good” cry).…

  • I spotted Joanie again this evening

    This time it was Cleo who alerted me that Joanie was under the pavement inside the drain. I quickly jumped into the drain, and I saw a cat running away, straight down and turned right into another drain leading into the corner house down my road. She behaved in the same way this afternoon as…

  • Come back soon, Joanie…
