  • A touching tale

    YG posted a comment on the blind Shih Tzu.  I thought all of you might like to read it:Poor the Shih Tzu, how on earth has such a cruel person. When he was healthy and cute, the owner wanted him but when he turned old and blind, the owner simply get rid of him. Poor…

  • The animals at Mayo Clinic, USJ Taipan

    Rani holding Amber.  The tumour is hardly visible from this photo. Amber is eating very well, too. This is the blind shih tzu, abandoned by his owner. We’re helping him look for a home. If interested, please view and adopt from Mayo Clinic. Rani’s rescued kittens for adoption. We would like to live in a happy home……

  • Chuit and Bobo, spayed dogs for adoption

    This is a request from Ms Tang: My family and I have been trying our best to spay, neuter and rehome dogs nearby our house. We feed and bath them regularly. However, we all understood that the chances for adult dogs to be adopted are lesser since most of them think that it would be…

  • Rawang rescue – rescuers needed urgently

    Updates from Koo: Only a day has passed and I’ve been receiving calls and SMSes from Theresa and Azimah.  It seemed that dog-haters there are hell-bent in sabotaging our efforts to get the dogs out.  It’s obvious that they want the worst outcome for the dogs which is for the MPS dog catchers to capture and kill them even…

  • No one is left out…..here’s a size 58! (Thank you, Zeito Plastics)

    I went to collect our latest stock of tshirts just now, and Zeito Plastics’ tshirts have also arrived.  Zeito Plastics has so generously sponsored 220 of our tshirts for their entire staff for their gotong royong project in June.  Thank you, PC Leong! Zeito’s 220 tshirts also have their company name and message printed on the…

  • TNRM in Singapore

    Dr Tan Chek Wee is the person who taught me all about TNRM, which is now very widely practised in Singapore.  I was emailing him this morning and I asked how things are over there on the island.  Apparently, he says it has caught on very well and he sees tipped ears everywhere.  Also, residents…

  • One-eyed kitten adopted!

    When Lilac was first admitted to the clinic for surgery, there was a little white kitten (rescued) boarding in the cage above Lilac’s.  I could not take a clear picture of this little white kitten as she was extremely friendly and was moving all the time.  Mary and I both felt sorry for her as…

  • Lilac is bright and alert

    As of last night, Lilac is reported to be “bright and alert” and seems to be “well enough”.  However, there is still the leakage of the urine.  The clinic was jam-packed yesterday so I have not been able to get more details from the vet if Lilac needs another corrective surgery for this “leakage” problem.

  • The popular sizes have arrived!

    There was a big demand for our CUTE tshirts Sizes Sports 32, 36 and Ladies 36 and 38.  We had to turn away many, many people at our booth on Wesak because these sizes were completely “sold out” very quickly. But the new stocks have arrived now and I’ll be collecting them this morning.  So…

  • Photos updates on Amber, the TVT-patient

    Simon and Crystal went to visit Amber today, and took some pictures: I’m well enough, I want to get out!! The happy-as-a-lark Amber has shown marked improvement.  The bleeding from the tumour has now stopped and the tumour itself has shrunk.  Amber is also eating well now.  Get well soon, Amber! Many thanks to the…

  • Presenting…..Ginger, the ex-mangy street cat!

    Alex wrote to update me on Ginger and also to send Ginger’s latest photos…. Updates on Ginger! She is doing fine and well, her diarrhea had not totally gone away yet, but it had been improving gradually. It did went away last week for a couple of days, then it returned mysteriously, although in smaller…

  • The risks in self-prescribing medicine to animals

    I was recently asked if a popular dewormer for humans can be used on animals.  Apparently someone had written in a public blog that it can be used. Of course being not a vet, I did not know the answer, so I asked our vet. This evening, he showed me the book of drugs for animals…

  • Rawang rescue updates – dogs and kittens!

    Updates from Koo: I was there at 9am sharp and came across a Indian lady named Theresa who was sitting outside the RA office and wearing a reflective vest. It turns out that she’s working as a guard and sets up a table at the RA office itself. I went to look under the container…

  • Clarification: Why we withdrew our support

    I have just been informed that there is a hot debate over in some public forum about spca’s online petition and why some NGOs have withdrawn their support. Perhaps it is necessary to clarify here why I withdrew AnimalCare’s support early yesterday morning. 16th May: I was sent a draft by an officer from the…

  • Spreading the message in Singapore

    At the Singapore Buddhist Mission, on Wesak Day.
