A lovely story for a Sunday morning

We had just sponsored the spaying of two mother-cats from Brickfields, and rescuers Agnes and Yuen Foon went to pick them up yesterday, and…

Here’s what Agnes wrote:

Today when Yuen Foon and I went to Mayo to collect the cats, Rani asked if the mother-cat (one of the 2 cats I sent there for spaying) still has milk. Why? Someone picked up a newly-born kitten from a drain and brought to the clinic, still with the umbilical cord. We pressed the mother’s nipples and found there’s still some milk. Baby is less than 3 days old. Rani had placed the baby with the mother-cat who straightaway assumed the role of a nursing mum, grooming and licking the baby’s bottom.


Just then Dr Khor walked past and Rani asked him if mum-cat can stayed on to nurse the baby. He readily said yes and asked to borrow mum till Monday or Tuesday. Why not? Mum-cat doesn’t need to rush home. Mum-cat has the chance to offer milk-dana (donation of milk!). I’ll check with Dr Khor on Tuesday morning.
