  • The beauty of starting early

    Yesterday, I was totally and completely konked out after dinner. With getting all my books back, carrying them from the car to the house (good workout for the arms, free “gym”), and collecting all the new tshirt stocks, plus rushing to finish my final exams marking, etc., it was a totally mad day and right…

  • Updates on Citta

    I know many of you are very concerned about Citta.  Yesterday was a “total-madness” day for me as we have an event today, and our new tshirt stocks just arrived and it was all stock-checking and preparing for today’s event.  I had no time to visit Citta OR Karuna.But the latest updates I’ve got (as…

  • Event at Casa Petfood shop today!

    We’ve been invited to open our booth and I’ll be giving a short talk on Managing the Stray Animals in your Neighbourhood at Casa Petfood shop today in Kota Damansara. Chooi Chooi, the proprietor, has been so kind to invite us to promote our cause at their grand opening.  Hopefully, we can reach out further to…

  • Words of wisdom for the weekend

    Now that Stuart is at least alright, I need to unwind a bit before going back to my final-exams-marking marathon….I thought there is so much wisdom in this: Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to us.   – Leon Trotsky When the first grey hair appears on our head, it is…

  • Happy updates on Stuart!! (he is fine)

    When I received the sms from Punitha just now, I held my breath…..Forwarded sms from the fosterer, Kak Azah:Good morning. No worries. Stuart is doing fine. Already dewormed. He has not vomited since we brought him home. Will try to put him with mummy-cat tonight and see if she will accept him. If not, will…

  • Taiwan does a first…for the sharks

    If there is one personal request I would make to people who want to hold Chinese dinners, it has always been this – Please, please, please do not order sharks’ fins soup. I think most people have seen the horrendous ways sharks are “finned”, ie. have their fins lopped off and thrown back into the…

  • Please pray for Stuart

    There was another frantic search for fosterers for Stuart today as Devi relented this morning when she saw that Stuart was really going down.  To cut a long story short, Stuart is now with Kak Azah, a cat rescuer and fosterer who has had a lot of experience in nursing kittens. Kak Azah says Stuart…

  • AnimalCare’s Black Gold tshirt (New!)

    This Black Gold version of our first Gold tshirt is a special request from my colleagues who will be holding an event in the college as a project for the students. The event is scheduled in September/October this year and the Black Gold will be promoted during this event.   Here’s the mock-up: Since a few…

  • Injured dog needs fosterer as soon as possible

    Myza has just rescued an injured 2-week old puppy. The puppy has a back injury and the vet has stitched her up. How the puppy came to be so is a sad case of tug-of-war between the mother of this puppy and another mother-dog who had just lost her newborn litter. This second mother-dog came to…

  • If you need our spay-neuter help, please send a photograph of the animal

    Spay-neuter is normally not an emergency case. My request to rescuers who ask for our spay-neuter help is to please send me a photograph of the animal, either by email or mms. This is because our accounts are audited and I need the photographs to account for each case done. Sometimes, by the time I finish work…

  • Hazlina’s female cats spayed

    Hazlina is looking after two female cats left behind by their owner when the owners moved. She sent the cat for spaying under our sponsorship today.  I’d like to thank Amy for helping me take these photos today as I’m up to my neck at work.

  • Tommy is recovering!!

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/07/end-stage-kidney-failure-cat.htmlTommy was rescued from the street and adopted by Norsidah and her family when he was very young, perhaps about 4 years ago.Tommy was sent to our vet last Thursday and was diagnosed with very severe kidney failure. His urine was absolutely clear (like water) and the blood results showed complete kidney failure, which is…

  • Karuna has been previously spayed

    Today was Karuna’s scheduled spaying.  Would you believe it? The vets opened her up and found that she had already been previously spayed. That could only mean two things – either a rescue group had got her spayed and released her OR she is an abandoned pet.  But, Karuna, being old, did not take the…

  • The dog without her nose (MDDB’s case)

    I braved myself this afternoon and went to visit the dog whose nose had been lopped off by some evil human in Semenyih. Wani (of MDDB) had called me about the dog  yesterday when the vet suggested that the dog be put down. I said she could always request that the vet treat the dog…

  • How time flies

    I just couldn’t help taking these photo this morning:  It is Cow and Tiger. And now, turning the clock back to five years ago…. That’s Cow looking after Tiger when he was first brought to me (supposedly for fostering, but the rescuers never took him back). Cow was my rescue (along with siblings Bunny and…
