  • Poor cat….

    This afternoon, the vet assistant at one of our panel vets called me.  Apparently, a few students had brought in an injured cat.  They had found the cat beside a drain and it was covered in oil.   At the time of the phonecall, the vet assistant had washed off the oil and was hair-drying the cat.   These…

  • Another dog shelter (in JB) needing help

    Amelia has just written to me about the Mutiara Rini Dog Shelter in JB.  I’ve highlighted their appeal sometime last year.  Apparently, there is a new owner now and they need help as well.  http://www.facebook.com/MRDS.my?id=101654283219266&sk;=info If you would like to help, please check out the relevant details first.  Disclaimer: We often post messages of appeals for…

  • Baby seals need our help

    And, this is from Humane International: It hurts to say these words: Hundreds of thousands of harp seal pups are in danger of slaughter here on the ice floes of Eastern Canada in just days. It’s the largest slaughter of marine mammals on the planet, and the Canadian government — undeterred by seal pups drowning…

  • Some news from across the ocean

    This is from PETA: I wrote to you recently about the University of Utah — and how the school’s laboratories purchased stray and homeless cats and dogs (including Rufus, pictured here) from animal shelters for use in deadly experiments. Because of the support of friends like you, the University of Utah has announced that it…

  • Mui Mui, rescued kitten up for adoption

    This is yet another kitten rescued by Julie Pek: One little kitten had been meowing in front of my gate for few days. There was no mother cat sited. She had been attacked by other tom cats and is very timid. After few days of feeding she walked into the cage. Now she is comfortable…

  • Wii’s double-adoption story

    Some of you may be wondering why I have not been talking about Wii, Vixey’s brother.  Well, if you remember, after Vixey passed away, Wii exiled himself out to the back alley.  It did not help that Cow and Bunny (the two alphas) started bullying him till no end because he was so, so timid. …

  • Acid Rain Alert?

    I think most of you would have received the same forwarded sms alert about possible acid rain occurring in the region as a result of this morning’s nuclear blast in Japan.  The fwded sms said not to get caught in the rain today and in the next few days as it may be acidic and…

  • Poor, poor Rascal

    Rascal got adopted yesterday.  We were all so happy.  Unfortunately, it is just short-lived joy…. Punitha informed me today that the adopter has returned Rascal to her because apparently, Rascal could not get along with her (the adopter’s) cat on the first day. But it’s only been ONE day….  Sometimes my own cats fight for a…

  • Rascal and Minnie, spayed-neutered and up for adoption

    I received this email from Punitha, a pet rescuer.  We’ve helped Punitha before in the past with the cost of the medical treatment for two puppies and also with the adoption of Little Ginger and Blue Eyes.  Read her email below.  It really breaks my heart to know how some people can give up (more…

  • Photo updates on Twinkle and Jingle

    Twinkle and Jingle are twin sisters adopted through our posting.  Their mother, Moonie, was rescued by Julie Pek on a moonlit night when one of the twins were just born.  The next day, the other twin appeared. Twinkle and Jingle were finally adopted by Beverly and her family. Last week, Twinkle and Jingle were sent…

  • Tsunami – what the animals know which we humans don’t

    I think the whole world is quite shaken by the magnitude of yesterday’s 10m high tsunami in Japan causing destruction and death.  It is said in the reports that Japan’s high-tech alert system prevented further devastation, which means, it could have been worse than it is now.  While we empathise with the suffering and loss,…

  • Friday updates on Imm’ Shelter

    It’s been a week now, ever since I first publicised the plight of Phaik Imm, a 64 year-old lady who is managing a shelter which houses 29 cats and 30 dogs.  Imm was in extremely poor health when her plight was brought to my attention.  I would like to thank everyone who has helped in…

    Today, Rani sent two more rescued male cats to be neutered under our sponsorship. Here they are, just waking up right after the procedure: Groggy…just waking up. Still out.  Minutes after the procedure. Rani will put them up for adoption.  These two are brothers, and their sister is the black cat whose spaying we sponsored…
