  • The Sunnies’ new home with Rozita and family

    It was time to take the Sunnies to their new home.  Rozita said she would be home by 2.30pm.  I packed their milk, a new pack of RC Baby Cat, their little pink ball and Tiger’s basket.   Say thank you to Uncle Bobby first…  Thank you, Uncle Bobby.  Thank you, Uncle Bobby. Taman Tun…

  • Comel will stay a little longer at the clinic

    Comel will not be discharged today as she still looked a little sluggish this morning.  It’ll be Monday then.  Rani says she will help keep an eye on Comel.  Thanks, Rani!

  • The 5 kittens are doing much better today

    I popped into the clinic for a quick visit and the 5 kittens are doing much better today.  The two sick ones look better too.  I was worried the other three would come down with flu as well, but things look pretty good for now.  Flu spreads within a 10 metre radius, so it’s quite…

  • Jenny’s in fine fettle

    Jenny is as good as she can be.  The vets are incredibly happy with her rate of recovery.   Hey Jenny!  She was so happy to see me (or anyone, for that matter!), she wagged her tail so happily. Lydia came later, to accompany another case at our vet’s, and Jenny was equally happy to…

  • Bunny’s injured….again!

    Two nights ago, I heard sounds of fighting in the drain outside.  I went out and heard Bunny’s war-cry.  A ginger-white cat has appeared in our area a few weeks back and Bunny has been protecting his territory.  I tried to call Bunny out but he wouldn’t come out and there was nothing much I…

  • Request to help a pet cockerel

    This is definitely a first.  I received an email request to help a pet cockerel with an injured leg last night.  I’ve consulted our vets and they said they do not have the medication for chickens, so they’d prefer not to.  The best place would be UPM as there is a specialist for chickens there.…

  • Sunshine for the Sunny Kittens

    The Sunny Kittens just wanted to play all morning, so I brought them out to the garden.I’ve had wanted to do this for the last few days, but there’s just been so much to do every single day. Wow…what’s this?  It looks so interesting…  Fox explores…  This is called “grass”, kitties…  They are absolutely fascinated……

  • Breakfast time!

    This morning’s breakfast:  Uncle Bobby supervises, as always.  And of course, he gets the leftovers, too!  Rex seems to know something’s happening….since last night. He is the “big brother” of the litter, and certainly does the job.  What leftovers, says Uncle Bobby…  I’m eating with you guys today.  The baby of the family still wants…

  • A sharing: A Poem to my Foster Dog

    Lydia sent this to me late last night.  Thank you, Lydia. Hi Kah Yein, I just wanted to say I know how you feel wanting to spend every precious moment with your Sunshine Kits before they go off on their new journey. It echos what we as fosterers feel again and again. And as much…

  • Dr Veeranoot rehomes 4 of Kwanjit’s kittens to a cat sanctuary

    Two days ago (the day the 5 kittens were dumped at my front gate), we had planned a trip to accompany Dr Veeranoot to Segambut’s cat sanctuary to rehome four of Kwanjit’s six kittens.  Dr Veeranoot rescued Kwanjit off the streets in Section 17, PJ, on a rainy day.  At that time, Kwanjit was pregnant.…

  • Amber Horsey had tick fever

    Updates on Amber Horsey:Horsey (her earlier name) was rescued by Joanne Lim, brought to our panel vet and found to have a compound fracture in her back leg which required amputation.  The amputation was done and Lydia has been fostering Horsey (renamed Amber) since then, pending her rehoming.  Recently, Amber Horsey came down with tick…

  • The Sunny Kittens’ last night with me

    Tomorrow, the Sunny Kittens will go to Rozita’s home.  Rozita has been sending me text messages, telling me how excited her two daughters are, at the prospect of having Rex, Fox and Honeybear.As I sit here, reluctant to leave them as this is their last night with me, as though she could read my mind,…

  • A football game for the Sunny Kittens

    Ming-Yi is back and after having been gone for just 3 days, she says the Sunny Kittens are so much bigger now.  I’m beginning to think Rex has some affinity with Calculus….from a previous life, perhaps…  Ming-Yi made some paper footballs for them to play with.    They love it!  Yay!!  It’s definitely more fun…

  • Comel will be returned to the market tomorrow

    Comel is the last of the market cats.  I’ll be taking her back to the market tomorrow.  She has been spayed and has recovered from her flu.  The vet gave her two flu jabs and that did the trick.  

  • The 5 kittens

    I went to check on the 5 kittens this afternoon. They were sleeping when I reached the clinic, but got up later and started to play.   One of them has the flu, another is also coming down with it.  A friend has found me a fosterer, but since they have the flu, I decided…
