  • Peggy Tiong’s blue kittens

    Peggy Tiong looks after the stray cats in around her house.  Some of the strays even bring their families to her house to seek shelter.  Today, she brought two blue kittens for a check-up and vaccination.  One of the kittens was having some limping problem yesterday.  This is the limping one, but he seems better…

  • If you have a problem with cats….

    Someone left a comment asking how to deal with a neighbour’s cats who are causing a lot of trouble for her. She has spoken to the neighbour but to no avail. She doesn’t want to report to the authorities knowing that the authorities would just capture and kill.I truly empathise with her. Here’s a leaflet…

  • How about adopting a Veggie Thursday?

    It’s Thursday!Read this: http://www.goodpaper.sg/veggie-thursday-is-born/29 organisations in Singapore have endorsed a Veggie Thursday project.  It’s so easy to do.1.  Go veggie for one meal – you can still buy chap-fan, but choose only the veggie dishes, minus the meat.2.  Encourage your friends to do it. Why go veggie?  (reasons given in no particular order)a.  To save the animals.b.…

  • Tango, stray puppy, spayed

    Tango is one of the many stray dogs/puppies fed by Roselin at a construction site in Section 17, PJ.  Roselin has gone through great lengths to rescue many of these dogs, and right now, she is still fostering Ms J, Molly and Tyra (it is so hard to find homes for adult street dogs).  John…

  • Another great rescue…by Koo!

    You know, not only does Koo do great rescue work, he also writes fantastically-detailed accounts which needs no editing at all.  Aunty Jenny is a dog-feeder in Ara Damansara, and she called me last week asking for help to spay-neuter some dogs and to rehome some puppies.  There was, apparently, this dog who was so…

  • Cow and Mr Treeshrew

    Mr TreeShrew (the tree shrew) has been frequenting my room these days, and I did wonder why.  In the past two days, he even brought his friend along.  It was quite a relief to me because I had not seen his friend for a long time ever since the renovation work started at the back.…

  • Who would do a thing like this? (Animal Bombs)

    Huey sent this: http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2011/7/13/north/9092295&sec;=NorthI’m quite lost for words.  WHO would have so much time to do a thing like this?  Seems like a case of mischief, but at the expense of using animals, which is exploitation.  Seems like the work of a real pest.  You know, aeons ago, humans lived quite harmoniously (meaning, by the laws…

  • Karuna is going for walks now

    Karuna is doing very well.  The vets have even been taking her for walks!  She just has this sad look, but the vets say she is not sad.   Karuna, you always look the same in all the photos, can we have, perhaps, a different pose today?   Okay…that’s a different pose…thank you. Tried as I…

  • Mama-Cat’s faucitis massively improved!

    Amy Tham also brought the Mama-Cat for a check-up today.  This Mama-Cat had been treated for Faucitis on 20th June.  Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/06/cat-with-faucitis.html  Here’s Mama. “Wow!!  Massive improvement!” We’re really glad Mama-Cat’s condition has improved so much.  Our initial worry was that she could be FIV+ or suffering from leukemia, which would cause her not to heal…

  • Two male cats neutered (Amy Tham’s)

    Amy Tham is a cat-feeder and rescuer at her apartment area.  Today, she brought two male cats to be neutered under our sponsorship at our panel vet.   This a male cat rescued some weeks back, supposedly to be sent for neutering but he had diarrhoea, so it was postponed until now.   He’s active and…

  • MDDB’s successful adoption drive on Sunday

    I’ve always marvelled at the efforts put in by MDDB to organise their adoption drives, monthly, and sometimes fortnightly or even weekly.  Kudos to them for the efforts.Here’s Koo’s account of the previous adoption drive, held on Sunday: Dear Dr Chan,   Just wanted to let you know that the MDDB adoption drive held at…
