  • Understanding your dog (an invitation)

    A dog trainer, Mike Tan, visited our booth yesterday, and after checking us out (!), he offered to help us with his skills and expertise.   Here’s his proposal (below).  Please read it through.  We would like to invite all of you who are interested in learning a bit more about canine behaviour so that you…

  • Stand up, and be counted, please!

    I posted news about the impending Gandhimai Jatra bloodbath where thousands of animals are due to be sacrificed tomorrow.  Please vote against this action:https://secure.humanesociety.org/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&page;=UserAction&id;=4287&autologin;=true&JServSessionIdr003;=xawkxcl4j3.app304a   Stand up and be counted.   An excerpt from the link: We urgently need your help to stop the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of animals next week during the…

  • Our tshirt mascot

    Our tshirt sales was pretty good in these two days at the fair.  But stock-checking took me a few hours last night!  But I’m done for today.  We’re glad many people like our simple design.  I was asked how we came up with the design and colours. Well, here’s our inspiration (she is helping me stock-check):…

  • Day Two at the Cutie Pet Fair

    Another great day, and again, we had no photographer.  So, here’s just a few pictures for the day. We had a visit from…..a sugarglider! A young visitor promoting our tshirt! Socks getting a new collar and leash from one of the promoters. This is the mascot from Jia-Jia Shelter, from JB.  A local petfood manufacturer…

  • Tigger’s surgery went well

    Tigger’s (Mary Yap’s 10 year-old cat) surgery went well yesterday.  The surgeon found a lot of blood in his bladder, caused by the crystals.  This explains the blood in his urine.    Let us all send healing energy to Tigger so that he may have a smooth and quick recovery now, and be the “tiger”…

  • Thank you (Cutie Pet visitors)

    We’ll like to thank everyone who has supported us today, at Day One of the Cutie Pet Fair: 1.  H.H. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche 2.  Kechara House 3.  All well-wishers, donors and friends of AnimalCare Hope to see you all again tomorrow!

  • Cutie Pet Fair – Day One (what a blast!)

    We had a blast on Day One at the Cutie Pet Fair today!  (Unfortunately, we did not have a photographer today, and I was so busy, I did not get to take many of the photos that I had wanted to….so, my apologies to many people whom I shall thank in words and not photos).…

  • Early morning photography and pretty Suki

    Our FIV+ cat, Tiger, feeling on top of the world. Muscle-man, Bunny.  Also, FIV+, about to pounce on Cleo.   Cleo ran off, so Bunny looks for another “victim”. Oh wow…who is this pretty gal? See you at Central Park today! Cheerio!

  • Tigger (not Tiger) is going in for surgery tomorrow

    Remember Mary Yap’s 10 year-old Tigger?  There is blood in his urine and the surgeon suspects it is crystals in his bladder. The surgeon gave Mary two options – change of diet and monitoring OR surgery.  Mary has decided on the latter. So, Tigger is going in for surgery tomorrow.  We wish him a safe…

  • WHY do humans do such things?

    An extremely barbaric festival is about to be carried out in Nepal:http://www.guardianweekly.co.uk/?page=editorial&id;=1352&catID;=9 We know such horrendous events happen not only in other lands, but nearer home as well.  WHY do humans do such things to living beings that are weaker than them?

  • Imagine…(Tiger’s updates)

    Two weeks ago when I was told Tiger would limp for life and suffer from all sorts of complications due to his FIV+ status, it was like being given a near-death sentence.  But that’s the thing with some vets (and this is not the first time I’ve experienced this – Bunny is also FIV+ and…

  • Thank you

    Many thanks to Leonie Hong, Loh Wan Yeng and Vicky Soh (aka Vics, the animal-angel) for their generous contributions to our fund.  May they be blessed with all things nice.

  • Four of Devi’s cats spayed and returned

    Yesterday, I returned three of Devi’s cats (Meenu Kutty, Ponni and Angel) whose spaying we had sponsored.  This morning, I returned the fourth one, Whiskers, with two cans of AD for the foursome.  Meenu Kutty Angel and Ponni Whiskers So far, we have already helped spay-neuter nine of Devi’s cats.  There are four more to go. …

  • Make that change! Reduce meat-consumption…

    As Michael Jackson would say, in “Man in the Mirror”, “make that change!” If you’d like to reduce your meat-intake, purely out of compassion for the animals so that the butchers don’t have to slaughter so many animals each day, and the factory farmers don’t have to breed so many animals for slaughter, here’s how…
