Julie Pek has requested that I put up her recent experience to emphasise the importance of the spaying-neutering of stray animals.
On 18th Tue – I reached home at 10.45pm . There was a bad bad jam in KL due to heavy downpour.
Upon reaching home, I heard meowing of little kittens very loud. I took the torchlight and went to look for them.
What I found was very emotionally stressing. Two tiny kittens were found in different locations outside somewhere near my house and the umblical cord stuck to the grass. I had to use a scissors to cut. Both were drenched to their skin.
The incident tonight had silenced me. Though I have rescued and touched many, the small ordeal of these 2 tiny ones silenced me. It tells me there is still much much work to be done by all of us for the animals.
I really had no words to say. One thought that came to my mind was : Where was the mother cat?
I put them in warm cosy box with lots of cloth. I hoped the mother cat will come back to feed them.
One died the next morning ie on Wed morning. I buried in my garden.
I syringe fed the other one with cat milk. It looked good as in the picture, left one tiny kitten.
This morning Thu 20th, the kitten had died. I buried it at 630am .in my garden.
May these pictures tell us that we must quickly spay and neuter the adults.
We must educate our community/neighbours so that their mind sets are changed. There is an urgency that we must work fast together and raise more funds for the animals.
It is sad to see such suffering on the kittens and the mother cat.
Funds and publicity are easily raised when comes to human charity. This is good. However, many of us wish that the animals also get the same attention. Unfortunately this is not so.
We who have affinity for the animals must raise the awareness to the society and community to give charity to the animals too.
Thanks to you for you have done so much for the animals and may all of us achieve together for the wellness and betterment of the “lesser pets”.
Thank you.
Julie Pek.
Julie’s story is not new, and I am sure it happens every day, in many places, many go unnoticed, too. I echo Julie’s concern about the need to get the stray animals spayed-neutered, and this is actually one of our main missions.
Let us spread this message, and let us work together on this.
Please help the strays by getting their population under control.
Spay-neuter the strays.

What is that red thing near the kittens and leaves? Placenta and umbilical cord? Looks like the kittens were roughly and cruelly dumped at Julie house, and the mother cat scared and escaped for her dear life, or the mother cat had been very young or sick and had been dumped while very heavily pregnant and gave birth soon after in the wilderness of the place or she had a difficult delivery herself and is bleeding internally and fighting for her own dear life.
Hmmmph!!! Human beings are so cruel!
Hi Julie
Thank you for sharing this with us. I concur with you the urgency for us to pass the message on the importance of spay and neuter program. I shared your grief as I have had been through this in the past. It was in the same scenario and two newborn kittens were found by me at my office. They were both drenched after the heavy downpour. One was picked up from a drain tho’ still breathing at that time couldn’t make it for the next few hours.
Keeping them warm and using syringe to feed them milk did not help them to pull through. Guess what’s missing then is their mother. The newborns can sensed and feel secure if their mother is around them. Like any new born babies they need the tender touch of their mothers. The kittens are innocent.
The incident silent me for a long time and I was questioning the purpose of bringing them to this world and taking them away within hours of them being born. On the other hand it comfort me knowing that they will not be succumbed to any abuse (if any) and at least they are running happily chasing after butterflies at the rainbow bridge.
You are right. We have a lot more of unfinished task to do. We need to educate our communities and neighbours to see the urgency of the sterilization program. This is our purpose driven life for the lesser pets.
God would have its way to punish this people.
