  • Please pray for Bushytail

    This morning, Bushytail will be going in for surgery to remove her two infected mammary glands (mastitis) and the infected uterus (pyometra).  Initially, the surgery for the mastitis was supposed to be delayed until next week when she is (hopefully) stronger after a course of antibiotics and IV-drips, but upon discovery of the pyometra yesterday evening,…

  • The Sunny Kittens’ hair-styling experience

    Uncle Bobby’s been long overdue for a haircut.  So, my husband finally got down to doing it this afternoon.  Rex was extremely fascinated and stood totally transfixed by the whole thing.  It sure looks like a lot of fun, he thinks…  I guess he was hoping he’d get a haircut too….  He didn’t get one,…

  • What is a “Cat Castle”?

    Jessy Lian sent me these pictures: It’s a Cat Castle, and you can make it out of any cardbox carton! Thanks, Jessy!

  • Emergency surgery tomorrow for Bushytail (pyometra & mastitis)

    The vet has just called me.  They have found a more serious and life-threatening condition in Bushytail – she has pyometra (infection of the uterus).  The mammary gland infection is already life-threatening.  Now, coupled with the pyometra, surgery cannot be postponed.  Bushytail’s chances of survival is 50%.  The vet, in her professional opinion, has given…

  • Mother-cat with infected mammary glands (mastitis)

    Two days ago, Sudhamma Chua had texted me about a mother-cat who had disappeared leaving her five newborns behind.  I told Sudhamma what to do for the newborns, based on whatever I knew – syringe-feed Pets Own Milk, keep them warm and stimulate the privates to make them pee and poop.  Yesterday, Sudhamma said the…

  • Bobby, neutered today

  • The money is yours but the resources belong to the society

    I received this forwarded email and although it is not about animals per se, I feel it’s useful to share it with all of you. THE MONEY IS YOURS BUT THE RESOURCES BELONG TO THE SOCIETY A good lesson to remember . . Germany is a highly industrialized country. It produces top brands like Benz,…

  • “We’re eating kibble now…”

    Photo updates: We’re getting tired of milk, can we have some of Uncle Bobby’s food?  Bunny normally cleans up left-overs, but he walks away and lets Fox and Rex sniff at the food.  No, don’t worry, they did not eat any of the chicken.  I took it away.   Fox looks at the ball, but doesn’t…

  • Klinik Kembiri

    There has been an increase in the number of rescuers asking for spay-neuter help ever since the Star Two article was published and we see this as a good thing as it shows that the awareness and the willingness to do something for the animals is there.  Some of you may be located too far from…

  • Amber discharged, and is much, much better

    I went to see Amber and to settle her bill this evening.  As usual, she’s oh-so-happy, active and absolutely excited.  I had to ask her to sit so that I could take her photo, and she obediently sat! Take me out, take me out! I wanna play! We did take her out…to get her vaccinated. …

  • The Sunny Kittens’ upstairs tour

    Yesterday, the Sunny Kittens went for a tour….upstairs! It was afternoon, and nap-time, so after exploring the room, they decided to take a nap…in Tiger’s basket.  An typical afternoon nap for them usually lasts a few hours, but this time, it was interrupted as someone had other plans…  I thought I too could take a…

  • Fosterer needed urgently for Amber

    Amber has been given her last TVT jab, has been spayed and will be vaccinated tomorrow.  The TVT tumour has shrunk considerably and the vet says it ought to heal on its own now.  She would need to be monitored for the next few weeks, just to be sure there is no relapse. As I’ve…

  • The Sunny Kittens’ new bungalow

    Photo updates:  The sunny kittens have migrated from their carrier to this new bungalow.  Honeybear can finally suck from the bottle.  No more syringe-feeding now.  The three play together very happily.  It reminds me of Tumble Tots!  Honeybear is the first to groom himself!  Bungalows aside, they still love Uncle Bobby’s warmth.  Good old Uncle…

  • Hello….who is this??

    While I was at the vet’s last night, Julie Pek happened to be there as well with Moo Moo and…..another two cats…. Hello….and you two are….?  Make a guess… You guessed it? YES, these are Miaw and Super Zhou2!! Remember how badly “manged-up” Super Zhou2 was before?  Julie nursed him back to health, we sponsored the…
