    We helped Steffie Chong neutered a street dog, Boy Boy, recently, whom they had adopted.  Yesterday, Steffie sent an S.O.S.  Apparently, she had found three puppies and they were bleeding.  I texted her the vet’s number (it was after 7pm and I only knew of one vet that had the emergency-call-up service).  One of our volunteers…

  • Francis, the cat-feeder

Urination is clear and nice…
