  • Pretty kitten, found in the middle of the road

    Mary was driving in the Taman Tun area yesterday evening when she saw a sickly-looking little kitten in the middle of the road.  She picked up the kitten and brought it to our panel vet for a check-up.According to the vet, the kitten has flu and some skin fungal problem.  She is a very pretty…

  • Oh my, what a hot day!!

    Yesterday, CP sent me this guaranteed-to-make-you-smile photo of Mimi, her first rescued cat! Smart girl, Mimi! Mimi is CP’s very first experience with CNRM.  After Mimi, came Didi and Manja.  All three are from CP’s neighbourhood.  CP and her family have adopted the three now and they have so much fun together.A walk down memory…

  • Winnie Pup’s adoption!

    From Koo:Dear Dr Chan, Winnie the pup has been adopted after a month of fostering.  After being born into an uncertain future and only knowing life under a container, she and her family were finally rescued after many appeals from Azimah their guardian angel.  When I first contacted you about Winnie for a vet visit, she was very weak…

  • From Gingershells to Popsicles (the 5 kittens)

    Nandhini offered to foster the 5 kittens that were dumped in front of my gate in a styrofoam box 2 weeks ago.  I’ve been in contact with Nandhini daily on their progress after they were discharged from the vet’s.  Initially, they all had diarrhoea (really watery type) and the flu.  After the vet declared them…

  • Wii’s secret is out!!

    Wii was one of my rescued cats.  More than a year ago, my alphas (Cow and Bunny) started chasing poor Wii out into the alley, and Wii’s constant mewing there incurred the wrath of my back neighbour who threatened Wii in very frightening ways.  Long story cut short, I asked Roselin if Wii could live…

  • Shh…goodnight, Chewie…sleep well

    From Lina:We gave Chewbacca more water to drink, but she is still very weak.  Angie, Zax, Doris and Hebi (Christine) have been here since we left.  Now, just “sayang”ing her while she sleeps on the hot-pack. It’s so heart-warming to know that five young people are so keen on looking after one little stray kitten.…

  • Mum-dog and 3 female pups for adoption

    A request from my cousin, Lian:Attached are photos of a mother dog and her three female pups (by now about three months) belonging to my neighbour. The father is a rottweiler/mongrel. Would appreciate it if you could place them for adoption on your website. One pup has a normal tail, another one has a curly…

  • Chewie has a home now

    CP was there at the clinic to send Chewie off to her new home.  CP managed to give some energy healing to Chewie before she went off.  According to her, Chewie is weak, but is definitely a fighter.  She even stood up in the box when Lina drove off.  Like a true-blue Chewbacca!I just texted…

  • Poor mama-cat with boils inside her mouth

    This mama-cat has quite a story to begin with.  Not knowing that she had just delivered, Amy Thum had caught her one night and got her spayed.  Later, the mama-cat brought her litter of two kittens right up to Amy’s doorstep as though asking for shelter.Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/05/what-smart-mother-cat.html Flashback: The smart mama-cat and her kittens in Amy’s…

  • Chewie goes home

    I went to the clinic again later this afternoon.  We had another new case there so I had to discuss the prognosis with the vet.  Also, I was very anxious to check on Chewie.  Christine and her friends (Jax, Doris and adopter, Lina) were all there.  They were taking turns to provide comfort and encouragement…

  • Please pray for Chewie (possible blood parasite infection)

    I reached the clinic after work today and was told Chewie is not doing very well.  She has suddenly become very pale this morning, and the vet suspects that it may be due to a blood parasite which had been in existence in her body, but is now manifesting and causing an infection.   The…

  • A tussle over ownership (a story from Japan)…and Goldie’s story

    An anonymous person thought I should share this story, which is good for all of us to reflect upon: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/return-our-dogs-tepco-demands/story-e6frg6so-1226083034104 I suppose this is a question of ownership: Who owns the animals, actually? My thoughts would be this: None of us own the animals.  We are merely caregivers who have taken the responsibility of looking after…

  • 2 female cats spayed

    Guna sent two female cats to be spayed under our sponsorship.

  • Notched or not notched?

    A friend who is keen to do his part in CNRM managed to capture a cat in Kota Kemuning two nights ago, and he wrote to me saying there appears to be a “hole”in one ear.  He asked if he should send the cat for spaying again.  I said the best is to send the…
