  • The adventure began even BEFORE we got onto the Karak Highway…

    Terry and Ainey met at my house this morning, and we departed Subang Jaya at 7am.  We met up with Jamie Khoo and Ruby Khong of Kechara House in PJ.  The journey was pleasant and uneventful until we were on the Kepong highway heading towards the Karak highway. Right at the side of the road (which…

  • Photos of Panthera from Ridhuan and family!

    Good morning, everyone.  I’m sneaking in a posting before we leave for Bentong to see the Ketam dogs this morning.  Here’s some photo-updates from Ridhuan and his family.  They adopted Panthera a few days ago. Meow… I’ve always noticed this beautiful feature in Panthera right from the time I first laid eyes one her –…

  • News, news, and more news…

    Good morning everyone.  Here’s some news of what’s been happening and will be happening: 1.  Teresa brought Jenn and Cass (the two little girls) over to Terry’s place to help look for Nana, the runaway mother-cat.  It seems they spent hours looking for her, but Nana could not be found anywhere.  We hope Nana is…

  • The tale of the cockroach

    Ahh…I owe you a little story.  This is a lovely little story about how thoughts of loving-kindness can transform a person, especially from an animal-hating person to an animal-tolerant (or even loving) person. Or, to be more accurate, a cockroach-loving person… I give weekly talks on living a more spiritual life, and in one of…

  • Yen Ling visits Suki!

    Hello everyone.  If you remember, Yen Ling was the one who rescued little Suki from the drain…three times too!  And that was in August.  Suki had just opened her eyes then.    Suki’s baby photo when first rescued THE photo that captured many-a-hearts! To cut a long story short, Suki was brought to me, and the rest…

  • Two puppies adopted!!

    I met Jeanne’s family on Kathina Day at our booth when she came to enquire if we had any puppies for adoption.  Do we have any puppies?  Of course, of course.  Even if we don’t have, we will find some for you!  And as it so happened, the night before, Lillian Yang had written to…

  • Can animals be expected to use the public toilet?

    I was helping out at the temple with a two ladies on Monday when an unfriendly-looking lady came to join our group and started talking.  Just as when she joined us, one of the ladies asked me how many cats I have now, so I answered.  The unfriendly one sensed I must be an animal-lover, so she…

  • The peaceful passing of Yorky

    Dear everyone.  If you had been following our blog in July, you would remember Yorky.  Yorky was a purebred Yorkshire terrier who was sent by his breeder to the vet to be euthanised because “there was something wrong with him” (read: he was not perfect, so he could not be sold).  When I first met…

  • Updates on Dino!

    Hi everyone.  Remember Dino?  Now, which Dino, you must be wondering…. The Dino who was rescued by student Amelia (who called him Nana), then taken over by us (I called him Milo because Amelia did not tell me his name), then fostered by Terry (where Teresa said he should be called Dino, so that he…

  • As time goes by

    It’s been 10 days since Vixey passed on.  Life in my house has more or less returned to normal, but Vixey’s ashes are still right here with me, beside her favourite router.  Little flowers decorate the little basket where her ashes lie.  Vixey had always had flowers in all her baskets.  If not flowers, then…

    This is a stray cat brought in by Ms Kwan Bee to be neutered at our panel vet.  She heard about our programme at our Kathina booth, and told us about this cat that she has been feeding behind her house. So, we lent her a cage yesterday and the cat was brought to our…

  • Updates from Mr Madehi about Whitey and Brownie

    I’ve been enquiring about Whitey and Brownie from Mr Madehi, and it’s good news all the way.  Their fungal infection has cleared and healed.  Mr Madehi’s entire family simply adores them.  The cats are adjusting very well now.  Mr Madehi has even bought a bigger cage for them, and bought them toys to play.  And,…
