  • Brownie is in bad shape – please send prayers

    I was at the vet’s in PJ with Citta, and Brownie is boarding there as well. But I was not allowed to see Brownie as that’s the clinic’s policy (they had closed for the day).The vet who attended to Brownie said the prognosis is bad. Brownie’s white blood count is only 0.8. Anything under 1.0…

  • Citta caught – safe and sound!

    Myers called saying Citta had been spotted at the playground behind the clinic. So I drove over quickly. By the time I reached, Myers said Citta had bolted towards the shopping mall. Gosh, she has crossed the mainroad again!This was about 6.30pm and it was peak hour traffic.  I drove over to the shopping mall and…

  • The search for Citta continues

    We drove around the area again to look for Citta. Did not sight her anywhere.However, the food has been eaten…. The vet had put Citta’s favourite canned food in the steel bowl. It’s empty now, but we can’t be sure if Citta ate it. The kibbles have been touched as well.Wani is bringing Citta’s mother…

  • Please pray for Brownie

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/07/winnie-low-sends-her-rescues-for-spay.htmlWinnie contacted me this morning, just before Citta’s emergency. Brownie stopped eating yesterday and does not look well at all. I told Winnie not to delay; Brownie needs a vet’s attention. Our vets are closed today, so I told Winnie to take Brownie to the vet in PJ. We will subsidise the treatment.   This is…

  • The search for Citta

    The vet called me today, from out of town. Citta had run off as another vet was taking her for a walk this morning.I rushed to the clinic, got a friend to put that posting you see before this, and called Koo for help. Koo was at MidValley, but he said he would come.  At…

  • Feeding Bobby…

    Getting Bobby to eat has been a difficult task for many months now. He, as with some old people, has become extremely choosy with food. And we also don’t know if some sort of senility has set in (Bobby will turn 15 this October), or he is just plain strong-willed as he had always been…

  • About Lilac

    Lilac was an injured pet, brought in by her owner to the vet’s. Her leg was broken and the owner wanted her euthanised. Two rescuers intercepted and called me to ask if we could sponsor Lilac’s surgery. An extremely long and complicated story cut short, for the sake of saving Lilac’s life, I agreed to sponsor…

  • Karuna on homeground again

    I was facilitating a course at the temple today, so I went to see Karuna after the talk. She was so happy to see me! She didn’t look so sad anymore now. Let’s go for a walk, Karuna.  This is the playground which used to be her home. She seemed very at home and again,…

  • How about a Meatless Saturday today? Or just a meatless lunch?

    From the Humane Society International:http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/eating/meatfree-guide-2011/ Eating meat-free meals is more popular than ever. Oprah Winfrey recently devoted an entire episode to encouraging people to eat more meat-free meals. And major companies — like food service giant Sodexo and Mexican restaurant chain Moe’s — are encouraging people to participate in Meatless Monday as an easy way to…

  • Dr Veeranoot’s two kittens, for adoption

    If you remember, Dr Veeranoot had to send four of Kwanjit’s six kittens to the cat sanctuary in Segambut because her neighbour complained. Kwanjit is the mother-cat the doctor rescued from Section 17 while the cat was still pregnant.  Dr Veeranoot provided her (Kwanjit) with a safe place (no, a safe haven!) to give birth…

  • Jessy Lian’s rescue story

  • Maslinda’s two cats spayed-neuter

    Maslinda is a cat-rescuer in PJ and we have been subsidising the cost of spay-neuter for her rescues for some time now.   What touches me deeply is that Maslinda is suffering from a serious illness, yet it does not deter her from helping the stray cats. She does not allow the disease to quell…
