  • Abby goes home…finally!!

    Dear everyone, For those of you who have been following Abby’s news – this is the day we’ve all been waiting for! For those who do not know who Abby is or what she had gone through, here’s a quick summary: 1.  Abby is a 13 year-old mixed Cocker who was dumped by her owner…

  • Little Brumby, and two mother-cats

    Gosh, I am way behind time in reporting the cases we’ve helped.  Here’s little Brumby… So cute, isn’t he? Look at that clearly-defined letter “M” on his forehead.  That defines a Tabby. Brumby was found and rescued by Mary Yap, an animal-lover, who has two rescued cats of her own.  Mary was worried because little…

  • The OKR factory dogs

    I have not received a detailed report yet or any photographs from Teresa Chian, our OKR representative, but I have been told by Teresa that she got 6 female dogs spayed and 1 male dog neutered.  These dogs are from a factory nearby, and the factory owner also contributed partially to the surgery.  AnimalCare sponsored the balance…

  • The tshirt works!

    I was having a meal at a coffee shop yesterday when a lady passed by, saw the (big) design and remarked, “Oh, you do charity for animals?”, and I said, “Yes, we do” and we got talking and she too is interested in doing something for the animals.  In fact, she is forming a group for…

  • AnimalCare supports stroke patients

    Good morning everyone. It looks like AnimalCare has been given an opportunity to support our fellow-beings on Earth – human stroke patients! The National Stroke Association of Malaysia (NASAM), Ipoh branch, has written to me, through one of its members, and has placed orders for 100 of our tshirts to be sold at their fund-raising…

  • Tshirts!!!

    Hi everyone, It’s almost midnight now, and I have just finished labelling FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONE tshirts, and packing more than half of what I’m supposed to pack.  The reason I have not finished is simply because the bookshop closed at 7pm and I could only bring home half the stock to continue packing at…

  • Bits of news

    Good morning everyone.  First, thank you to everyone who has written me comforting emails over the loss of Vixey.  Thanks for all your sharing.  My tears flow freely when I read your emails, but the heart is comforted after that.  I am very grateful for all the empathy. Here’s some updates on what we will…

  • A beautiful letter from a beautiful heart

    I received this beautiful letter from a fellow pet-lover. Thank you, my friend. Dearest Kahyein, Your relation of darling Vixie and the yellow butterfly reminds me of the time my late father passed away, and a butterfly also appeared, hovering around me and my sisters one day. Later, we heard from my mother that a…

  • Fresh flowers for Vixey

    The yellow chrysanthemums that James Kho had put into the basket with Vixey’s ashes were beginning to wither.  A clear reminder of impermanence and how all of Nature, which includes us, will also wither away and die.  I almost never buy cut flowers because I prefer flowers to grow naturally…and die naturally, not prematurely by…

  • “Humanising” animals

    My vet always tells me NOT to humanise animals.  He says they do not feel as we do, so it would be really unwise for us to humanise them. Some of the things I’ve been chided for are: 1.  Won’t my pets be bored of the same food day and night?  Shouldn’t I give them…

  • Black is beautiful…and lucky, too!

    I dont know if you remember because it’s been some time ago when I posted Rani’s jetblack cat for adoption.  We all know black cats are a bit hard to go.  Normally, people would go for white or the “prettier” colours.  Or long-haired ones.  But guess what, Rani told me this afternoon that the black…

  • Are we being taken advantage of?

    Today, one of our panel vets told me, with all good intentions, that there may be people who would take advantage of our funds.  I appreciate his concern very much, and I am well aware of this. In fact, when I first started AnimalCare with a group of volunteers, I had NOT intended to start…
