  • Ebru has been released…

    I know it’s past midnight, but in this kind of work, it just never ends.  I received a very sad email from Ebru’s (the sporo cat) rescuer.  She said she was very sorry but she had to release Ebru because her housemates demanded that she did so.  Oh dear….this is really so unexpected.  I wish…

  • Musketeer emergency

    It is past midnight now, and I’ve just had my dinner half an hour ago, after returning from another kitten SOS. Remember the Three Musketeers?  Flashback:  Mum-musketeer got accidentally run over by the caregiver himself (He-who-cannot-be-named).  Caregiver brought the three kittens to my friend, Cathy, and we helped foster for two days, and subsequently, caregiver…

  • Rescued little kitten from Klang

    Sue, from Klang, called me today on an SOS.  One of her students had just rescued a little month-old kitten who has blood in her diarrhoea stools. So, I told Sue she could bring the kitten to our panel vet in Subang Jaya. This is the poor little kitten.  When we opened the carrier door, she…

  • Bobby’s new look!

    I had been far too busy to groom Bobby for the last two weeks and decided that I should let my friend, Cathy Thong, who has taken grooming classes, to do Bobby up instead.  So, for the first time in his 13 years, Bobby went for his first professional grooming this morning (we’ve always trimmed…

  • Boboy from Taman Tun (updates)

    I visited the accident victim from Taman Tun today, at the clinic.  The vets have called him Boboy.  The vet showed me the xrays and explained his condition to me.  Apparently, the xrays do not show any pelvic injury, but when pressed, there is definitely a clicking sound at the pelvis, which strongly suggests some…

  • Updates on the Taman Tun dog

    Here’s more updates on the Taman Tun rescued dog who survived an accident and is now due to be discharged. Upon further investigation by the rescuer (interviewing the residents in Taman Tun area), this dog may have been abandoned.  He has been loitering around the mosque at Taman Tun for some time already, and is often…

  • Puppykins has gone back to the factory

    I don’t know if you all remember Puppykins, the little factory puppy who was knocked down by a vehicle and finally had to have its leg amputated.  While at the vet’s, Puppykins stole everybody’s hearts because he was oh-so-adorable and completely lovable.   We were initially trying to find an adopter for Puppykins, but the factory…

  • Miracles DO happen…

    We can surely do with some good news today. Yesterday, a rescuer called me on an SOS.  Apparently a dog (someone’s pet) had been knocked down by a vehicle and was rescued by a good samaritan who had brought her to a shelter.  The shelter wanted to put the poor dog down, judging from the…

  • It’s always the humans who give us pain

    In this kind of volunteer work that we do, the animals bring us so much joy, but some humans bring us so much pain… It is sometimes very tiring dealing with humans who do not understand that we have our limitations and there are some things that we just cannot provide. We started with just…

  • Thank you

    We’d like to thank Mandy and Arno Schlosser for their very kind donation to AnimalCare.  May you both be blessed for your very noble deed.

  • Please say your prayers for the sacrificial animals

    Dear all, This link refers: http://animalcare.my/2009/11/stand-up-and-be-counted-please.html Last night, until after midnight, I was still communicating with some friends on how we could do something constructive to stop (of course this seemed impossible) the Gandhimai Jatra festival which begins today, in Nepal, where thousands of animals would be rounded up and hacked to death, all in…
