  • A Norwegian Forest cat needs a good home

    This is Cucu.  She is probably a Norwegian Forest cat, and was picked up from the street seven years ago.  Cucu has been looked after by a Filipino domestic helper all these years and have formed a good bond with the helper.  But she has gone back to the Philippines now, after completing her work contract and…

  • Osim’s wound is actually healing

    Today, I brought my Aunty and Osim for a second opinion at one of our regular vets.  According to this vet, Osim’s wound is actually healing and the surrounding skin which is hairless is all scar (and not skin).  This means, his wound had actually been a much bigger patch previously and has healed until…

  • No surgery for Super

    There will be no surgery for Super.  His condition took a turn for the worse this morning and the rescuer has made the decision not to proceed as the chances of Super surviving the surgery are extremely slim. I visited Super today at the clinic.  He responds to people and tries very hard to get…

  • The different lullabyes in Ragtime

    AnimalCare wishes to thank a group of “Angels without wings”, Jamie Khoo Pei Fen and her friends, for their very generous donation towards our Super Fund.  Besides this, I have also received phonecalls and emails from people who have pledged to help Super.  On behalf of Super, we thank you most gratefully. 

  • Help for Osim, all the way from Singapore!

    Hi everyone.  My friend, Dr Tan, from Singapore, has offered to help Osim with some recommendations on the dressing material used for his wound.  Dr Tan is a human doctor with an interest in Geriatrics so he deals a lot with wounds.  Wounds in animals and in humans may not differ that much.  Dr Tan’s…

  • Super’s updates

    Dear all, last night I had a discussion with Super’s rescuer.  So far, we have collectively raised RM700 for Super’s treatment and surgery, and there is another RM800 to go. If you’d like to chip in, please contact me.   The surgery is scheduled on Tuesday.   Let’s give Super a chance to live out his natural…

  • A kitty-angel responds

    If you remember, a 15 year-old child wrote about her neighbour who was about to throw some kittens out to the street. http://animalcare.my/2009/09/sos-from-young-heart.html I had been looking for a fosterer since then.  Well, I just received the good news that someone has stepped in and taken the kittens away to be fostered.  That’s a relief! 

  • Super’s prognosis is “very bad”

    Dear all, I just spoke to the vet regarding Super.  The vets spent the whole day on Super, and he had 12 x-rays taken.  Blood work was also performed.  To cut a long story short, a lesion was observed in his abdomen, and the next “correct” step to take is to perform exploratory surgery to…

  • Age is no barrier to kindness

    Today, I visited my Uncle and Aunty, both of whom are in their eighties.  I know my Uncle and Aunty love animals and have been taking care of many stray animals that they have picked up from the street.  Their two daughters (my cousins) do the same too. Both their daughters are very good at photography,…

  • Thank you (on behalf of Super)

    On behalf of Super, we’d like to thank Mary Yap and Teo Hong Yee for donating to our Super Fund.  Super is an abandoned Cocker Spaniel mix.  He was rescued but is in very bad physical health – he is literally skin and bones, and has severe pathological problems.  We are helping the rescuer raise…
