  • Peggy’s male cat neutered

    We have FIVE cases of CNRM today itself….more people are doing it and that’s good news to us.  But it also means we need to raise more funds!The first for today is Peggy Tiong’s captured male cat. Photo sent by Peggy the day before. I visited the cat just now and he is fine.  Peggy…

  • The five kittens are active and very much alive (dumped in styrofoam box)

    I had to arrange for boarding for the five kittens that were dumped in front of my gate (in a styrofoam box this morning) because they have diarrhoea and the flu.    Here they are at the first clinic.  Our vet has already dewormed all of them.   Hopefully, the diarrhoea is due to worms…

  • This is what some “humans” do – kittens in an airtight styrofoam box

    This morning, while I was at work, my husband called to tell me someone had dumped a box of five kittens in front of our gate.  The five kittens were placed in the styrofoam box you see in the photo above, with a big rock on the lid.   How can they breathe in a…

  • Reprinting Pawprints on My Heart (my first book)

    Pawprints on My Heart was written in 2008.  It tells the stories of my childhood pets and my rescue and caregiving work.  It is my first non-academic book (there have been five more after that, and no more academic books!!).    Since then, a total of 12,000 copies of Pawprints have been published, all for free distribution, and…

  • Playtime for the Sunny Kittens

    This morning, I tried to teach the Sunny Kittens to lap milk from a dish.  After all, Rex has stopped sucking from the bottle.  And this morning, Honeybear (!) did not want to suck as well.   Come, kitties….it’s milk.  Nah…they weren’t interested.  Honeybear tried later, and splashed the milk all over the floor, and then…

  • Bushytail is doing well (and so is Sudhamma!)

    Updates on Bushytail by Sudhamma: She ate fish and dry food.  She can walk but I don’t let her walk so much.  Still keep in cage.  Already taken antibiotics.  Done warm compression, applied Flavin on her leg and changed her pad.  The stomach wound looks dried up.  She did not make a noise; she is…

  • Help needed urgently for injured puppy

    Lim Mei Leng just called requesting urgent help to catch an injured puppy in Puchong.  She spotted the puppy and it has a badly injured leg, but being a stray, the puppy is very hard to catch.  Mei Leng requested help from two men nearby who were watching, but they did not want to help.…

  • The Sunny Kittens

    Yesterday, I gave the Sunny Kittens a pedicure (had their nails trimmed at the tip). It was very easy with Rex and Fox, but with Honeybear, it was quite a struggle! Honeybear is turning out to be the most mischievous of the three. But he is absolutely adorable, as are Rex and Fox. They are…

  • Lilac, to be discharged

    The vet had been so busy the past few days, he still had not prepared Lilac’s bill during the few times I had gone to the clinic. He finally did today, and we’ve now paid for it.  The bill came up to a whopping figure, and after subtracting the deposit the owner had left there…

  • The return of the first batch of the Market CNRM cats

    I went to check on the other seven cats at our other clinic this evening.  The five females and one male have been spayed-neutered.  The one I’m touching here is the male – the only thorn among the roses in this batch.  He’s so friendly and has totally recovered from the anaethesia.  One of these…
