Time: 10am to 5pm.  http://mycatshow.wordpress.com/ We will be selling our tshirts, distributing free books and promoting the CNRM to the public.  Please do come and support us, if you are…

  • The price to pay when you help others

    I thought I would not want to write about this, but it looks like I have to now.  In the course of discussing the Chow Chow situation today, I was blamed by this staff from the shelter that the rehoming of the Ketam dogs in Bentong has not turned out the way they had expected…

  • Goldie is on Rainbow Bridge

    Gold is a female cat who was being fed in the Old Klang Road area, but not spayed.  She recently gave birth to a litter of five but four died and only one survived, ie. Goldie.  Teresa took Gold and Goldie from their feeder some time last week so that Gold could be spayed and Goldie, who…

  • New interface

    I’ve decided to test out a new interface for the website.  I think this one is better.  Also, our “corporate colour” (not that it matters!) has changed from green to brown/ochre/orange as this is more closely related to the colour of dogs and cats.   That’s the colour used in the pawprints on our tshirt. Suki’s colours was the…

  • Visiting the Chow Chow

    I put up this posting on Oct 27th:  http://animalcare.my/2009/10/sos-for-chow-chow.html Just to recap, a staff at the local animal shelter had called me asking me to help this Chow Chow with an ear infection or else he would be euthanised.  I assured her I would help raise funds and asked for an estimate for the cost of the treatment…

  • Thank you very much!

    We’d like to thank the following donors for their very kind and generous contributions to our fund: Noreen Zainil Yasmin Ismail City Lim (from Ipoh) An anonymous donor from Kinrara Many thanks also to: 1.  City Lim, for coming down all the way from Ipoh, on motorbike (!) to collect the tshirts for the NASAM…

  • Mac’s news

    Mac is now eating AD, but in very small doses.  He is a really resilient and tough little fellow.  His eye has not deteriorated, so that’s really good. Now, every morning when I come downstairs, and it’s palliative care for Mac and Tiger first.   That’s what you do when you have sick pets.  For better…

  • Tiger’s news

    Ever since Tiger was found to be limping, I’ve been going out to the road to “call” him back every day.  It usually takes about 20 minutes of calling, and he would appear from nowhere and walk towards me.  Even my neighbour doesn’t know where Tiger is.  Somehow, he would just appear when I call.…

  • Bobby and Suki go to the vet’s

    I brought Bobby and Suki to the vet’s today, Bobby – for a check-up since he is also 13 years old (like Mac), and Suki – for her 2nd vaccination.  The vet had earlier expected Bobby to also have bad teeth and tartar (like Mac), but surprisingly, when checked, the vet said he had very…

  • No discrimination against FIV+ cats

    My friend, Chinky, sent me this link, which is really comforting, along with other links (please see the comments in the previous posting). http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8237390812&ref;=search&sid;=1267377338.2481707829..1 It looks like sometimes we get paranoid simply because we do not know enough, or we liken FIV to HIV.  Over here, the vets often offer two options for FIV+ cats:1.…

  • Why Tiger’s limping does not heal

    I brought Tiger again to the vet this morning.  It’s been almost a week since his limping started.  Initially, it appeared to be the Calicivirus, the bug that causes “shifting lameness”.  Then, the lameness shifted to the front left paw and seemed to have stayed there.  The vet told me five days ago that it should…

  • Gold is spayed

    This is Gold.  She is one of the many cats being fed by a feeder on Old Klang Road.  We have undertaken the social responsibility of getting her spayed at our panel vet.  Along with her, we also took Goldie, her daughter, and have been getting her treated for mange. After recovery, Gold and Goldie…

  • The silly uncalled-for “problem” that I had to deal with

    So what’s this “problem” that took up my entire day today? Well, it’s that newspaper report which I am not happy about at all.  A woman who runs another organisation was quoted to have used AnimalCare’s name  – without our consent.  Apparently she had also claimed credit to CNRM, which is a term I coined for AnimalCare.  Whatever that…

  • Mac’s condition

    After coming home from his tooth extraction (five rotting teeth got pulled out), Mac actually ate his wet food, and I was so happy!  The vet had said that if he still does not eat, the next to go would be his infected eye, and this means Mac has to go under general anaesthesia.  But the…

  • El Nino will be adopted next week

    As I was saying, we met a couple who was interested in adopting a female puppy, so I told them about the football pups.  When the Flea Mart ended, I took this couple to Yi Lin’s house to view the puppies.  Sorry the photo is blur, folks – it was my hp camera.  This is…
