    Ginger is an elderly cat, rescued by Alex from the street in her neighbourhood.  Currently, Ginger is being treated for mange (which looked real bad three weeks ago).  Ginger was also skin-and-bones when first brought in, which suggests more underlying problems, but Alex would like to do everything reasonably possible to give Ginger a comfortable…

  • Clarification: Helping needy rescuers

    Helping needy rescuers with money or food donation is not actually within the mission of AnimalCare as our resources are very limited and we can only focus on providing medical help (spay-neuter and medical treatment) for stray animals, especially to needy smalltime rescuers who face a financial burden in settling vet bills for their rescues. …

  • Updates on Buzz

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/04/buzz-cat-with-diaphragmatic-hernia.html Buzz was found to have diaphragmatic hernia about two weeks ago.  Since she was only rescued about two weeks prior to the check-up, there was a chance she might be pregnant.  If so, surgery would have been absolutely necessary as delivery of her babies would cause more organs to be pushed into the chest cavity, resulting in…
