Month: November 2009

  • Updates on Tinsel!

    Flashback:  Tinsel was rescued by Teresa when he was on the verge of being run over by a car one night.  He was barely one month old then.  Terry fostered him, he was adopted by a couple, who had to return him to us when the wife was discovered to have an allergy to cat…

  • All three musketeers adopted!

    He-who-can-be-named informed me last night that all three musketeers have been adopted by a family who absolutely LOVES cats! Here are some photos, taken while the musketeers were with me for a day. He-who-can-be-named is one lucky guy, yah?And the kittens too! Hermione Harry Ginny Have a happy life, musketeers!

  • Updates on Mimi

    I’m happy to inform you that Mimi (the highly-emaciated kitten rescued by Sue and brought to our vet, who was in a dying condition) is doing much better now under the tender loving care of Sue and her husband.   Here’s Sue’s text msg received yesterday: Mimi’s diarrhoea has stopped.  I still feed her boiled chicken every two hours. …

  • First lesson with Mike Tan today

    It was raining this morning, but we had the lesson, nonetheless, and we faced some “teething” problems.  Some people were late (Could I please request everyone to be punctual next time?  No “Malaysian time”, please, unless, of course, there is a valid reason – car break down, pet is sick, earthquake, tidal wave, etc.).  This…

  • Thank you

    We’d like to thank Dr Veeranoot for her monthly contribution of our fund.  May she be blessed with all things nice. 

  • Go veggie today?

    The following picture may be disturbing to your eyes and heart, but it is reality. Many, many animals are going to be slaughtered today. Go veggie?

  • The musketeers are all up for adoption

    He-who-cannot-be-named has decided to put the three musketeers up for adoption because he feels he does not have time to attend to their needs as work takes up a lot of his time. Harry (male) Hermione (female) – has an interesting panda-face. Ginny (female) – the kitten, not the poodle! If you are interested in…

  • Tiger’s 3rd acupuncture session

    Dr Susanna came for Tiger’s 3rd session today. This time, the “bribe” was a cocktail sausage soup.  Tiger wasn’t too interested, though, since he doesn’t eat any meat except fish. Dr Susanna says Tiger’s pulse has improved very much. Sweet-talking Tiger while the needles were being inserted. One needle into the top of the head…

  • Musketeers come a-visiting and a-boarding

    I was in sms contact with he-who-cannot-be-named (hwcbn) all morning, to offer help for the Three Musketeers as one was down with diarrhoea and hwcbn would be away for 12 hours at work.  I was worried for the sick one, whom I had called Porthos (hwcbn absolutely hates the names I had given them, after the Three Musketeers,…

  • Gold is returned to her colony

    Flashback: Gold was rescued by Teresa from Jalan Gasing some six weeks ago.  Gold had just given birth and two of her kittens had died.  She was rescued with her remaining kitten, Goldie (who subsequently passed away too).  Both were fostered by Terry, and we sent them for treatment.  Unfortunately, Goldie did not make it. …

  • Mary’s Tigger

    Terry and I, while on our way to pick up Seenu from Brickfields, stopped by to visit Tigger, Mary’s 10 year-old cat who underwent surgery to remove the crystals from his bladder. Mary is away on an overseas trip, so I told her we would visit Tigger. Tigger appears to be in the pink of…

  • Cat with gum disease

    This is Seenu, Devi’s cat who had been suffering from gum disease for many years.  We brought Seenu to our panel vet today, for an evaluation and found that his disease is probably due to a compromised immune system. Devi herself had also brought Seenu for treatment at the vet (since 2008) and this includes dental…

  • Updates on the three musketeers

    The two healthy ones are doing fine.  After the deworming last night, they defecated LOTS of worms this morning.  The sick one, Porthos, is hanging on.  Appetite not good – she did not eat at all.   The rescuer-adopter is new at handling kittens and unfortunately, he will be away for 12 hours today at work.  I have offered help should…

  • A “break” for me

    A “break” for me, is not really a break (as in rest).  It is just a break from AnimalCare work, but I’d be doing my “other work” which is giving public talks on living a spiritual life.  (My other-other work is teaching calculus to engineering and actuarial science students.) For two days, I have been…

  • Updates on HeiHei and MayMay

    We sponsored the spaying of an 8 year-old mother-dog, HeiHei and her 6 month-old daughter, MayMay some two weeks back. Although already 8 years old, HeiHei was still constantly getting pregnant and giving birth.  Poor thing.  After the spaying, the rescuer was very worried at first because HeiHei did not eat after getting back from…
