  • Down memory lane with Bobby and his feline friends

    This post is intended for new readers who have not listened to any of my public talks and have not read any of my books.  (Also, I’m thrilled I can FINALLY post photos anywhere I like in a posting, and not just at the top!  But I still cannot put the spacebars where I’d like…

  • The things Suki does

    I’ve just discovered (forgive this ignoramus) that there’s a new editor for this template, so I’m trying it out now.  It seems I can drag photos anywhere I want now.  And hopefully, add spacebars in between the paragraphs!  I couldn’t do it with the old template earlier.    Here’s some updates and photos of the…

    Hi everyone. We seem to be getting many cases of purebreds being rejected by their owners after several years. This is usually because of the following reasons: 1. The pet has an ailment which is too expensive to treat (but wasn’t it equally expensive to buy the purebred from the breeder many years ago?) 2.…

  • Brownie is still up for adoption

    Remember Brownie, the one-eyed dog who resisted euthanasia at the shelter? He is still up for adoption. I received this very heart-warming email from Diane Levinson, all the way from the U.S. I stumbled upon your blog by accident and I am touched by an animal angel like you. I live in the US and…

    These ten puppies were captured by the authorities and due to be euthanised when a kind person intervened and brought them to the vet’s clinic with the hope of getting them adopted.

  • Poor Shih Tzu needs to be saved

    This poor Shih Tzu is a 7- year old female. She has been a home pet all her life, and now her owner wants her euthanised. Same old story, folks. She has a skin ailment suspected to be “allergic dermatitis with secondary bacteria and yeast infection” which may be chronic. Her ears are also infected,…

  • Two kittens re-adopted

    These are the two kittens returned by Ida. The lady in the photo is Lisan and she was only interested in the white one with blue eyes (the sister-kitten). But Lisan came with her boyfriend, Whei Meng, (who happened, coincidentally, to be one of my former students from way back when!). And Whei Meng took…

  • Kwanta and Kwanjai’s updates

    Hi everyone. Remember Dr Veeranoot who adopted Kwanta and Kwanjai (gifts of the heart and of the eye)? Dr Veeranoot initially was not too confident about looking after the two kittens, but she felt sorry for strays, so she decided to try. When I delivered the two kittens, Dr Veeranoot even told me that she…
