  • 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.…

  • 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…

  • Jenny’s drinking and eating….so well!

    I think the photos will speak for themselves!  Hey Jenny!   Jenny is an extremely grateful dog, because when the senior vet went in with me to see her, she sat up, came to the door of the cage and wagged her tail so, so happily.  The vet said seeing how well she is now,…

  • Jenny’s surgery went well….towards the end

    The vet just called minutes ago.  Jenny’s surgery ended well and she is now awake.  However, things did not go well DURING the surgery.  The moment the anaesthesia was administered, she turned very pale, her breathing became erratic, and during the surgery, she bled a lot.  It was also very difficult to do the amputation…

Amber was brought in for a check-up and found…
