  • Surgery on Lilac, cat injured in a car accident

    This is an extremely long story which had kept me busy practically all day yesterday, but I shall spare you the agony of having to read a long and potentially confusing story and just stick to the important facts. Lilac, a female cat, was someone’s pet-cat.  Apparently, a car had run over Lilac (I heard it was the owner’s car)…

  • Baby, female dog, spayed

    Baby is one of the many dogs fed by Joanne Lim (the one who rescued Horsey).  Joanne managed to catch Baby and she was sent for spaying under our sponsorship two days ago.

  • Blogger was down for the whole day!! (Friday the 13th)

    If you’re wondering why some of my recent postings have been removed or why there were no postings yesterday, it’s because Blogger was down for the whole day.  You could view but I could not blog!  Also, for some reason, to rectify the problem, they had to remove all postings written after 7am on 11th May. …

  • Amber will be starting treatment this evening

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/05/updates-on-amber.html I know many of you are very concerned about Amber so this update is necessary.  Krystal and her husband, Simon, collected the cage yesterday evening and will send Amber to the vet’s this evening, if they can make it after work.  With the unpredictable after-work traffic jams, this could prove to be a…

  • Male kitten neutered (in Melaka!) (Catherina Tay’s)

    Qiang Qiang is one of the stray kittens fed by Catherina Tay who hails from Melaka.  Yes, the same Catherina who also looks after Jackie, the little kitten who had wandered into an abandoned shoplot last month, remember?  We all sure learnt a lot from this case – who we could write to, who has the…

  • Aini’s two cats spayed

    Today, we sponsored the spaying of two more of Aini’s female cats.  Aini feeds many stray cats around her house.  The photos are blurry.  Aini doesn’t have a camera-phone and has to depend on a friend.  I was running around all day and had no time to visit the clinic. But the cats have been…

  • Working together for Amber

    Krystal was waiting for the loan of a cage before she could bring Amber for boarding and subsequent treatment at our panel clinic.  I had told her a 2ft X 3 ft cage should be able to fit right into any MyVi, but not her bigger cage (that’s why she needed the two boys to…

  • The Feline Art of War

    My family alerted me to this late last night as I was still busy doing the tshirt accounting in my room, in between typing lecture notes for a new semester AND replying emails!  Apparently, there was an impending feline war outside in the living room. Come quickly, come and watch, they said. Tiger had just…

  • A total picture of peace….Boy Boy

    Steffie and Mrs Chong sent Boy Boy, a rescued stray whom they have adopted, to be neutered under our sponsorship yesterday.  Boy Boy was quite fierce and growling all the time while at the clinic until he had to be muzzled and quickly sedated to undergo immediate surgery.Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/05/boy-boy-neutered.htmlWell, Boy Boy recovered quickly and Steffie…

  • What Mary did….for Amber

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/05/amber-emciated-dog-has-tvt.html As a follow-up to Amber’s case (she has severe TVT and requires the chemotherapy injections), Krystal had requested for a fosterer and transport for Amber.  Currently, Krystal cannot foster or confine Amber (a dog) in her house compound because Amber’s presence scares her cats. However, Amber has TVT and should not be allowed…

  • The long-awaited BLACK AnimalCare tshirt!!

    The stocks have finally arrived!! Been waiting all day for this.  Drove to the supplier, loaded my little Kelisa with 7 boxes of tshirts and brought them home.  Then, I found that the “Ladies” labels had fallen off, so I had to open up each pack and check which are the Ladies’, buy masking tape…
