  • Karuna’s old age problems

    Yesterday the vet called me in the evening.  Apparently, one of Karuna’s lesions had ruptured and needed either dressing with antiseptic, or surgery under sedation.  The vet was concerned about putting Karuna under sedation because of her age.This afternoon, there was another swelling on the side of her body.  The vet decided not to use…

  • End-stage kidney failure cat

    This afternoon, Mary and I spent some time accompanying Mary’s colleague at the clinic.  The colleague’s cat is suffering from end-stage kidney failure.  There seems to be little that allopathic medicine can do for a cat at this stage of kidney failure except to put him on drips and to force-feed.There are numerous causes of…

  • A race against time….kittens adopted!

    Punitha, Nandhini and I must have spent a fortune on smses and phonecalls this morning, racing against time to find a fosterer or adopter for the two kittens (the ones I named “Creamie and Crackers”).  A very long story cut short, Devi responded and said she would adopt the kittens.  More phonecalls to make the…

  • Mrs Lim’s male cat neutered (Yap Siew Hwa)

    Amy Tham was supposed to help Mrs Lim catch a female cat for spaying, but they landed up with a male cat instead because the female got away! So, anyway, they brought the male to be neutered this morning.   Apparently, some of the stray cats had been poisoned in their apartment area, and this…

  • Kindness to Animal in Religions

    When you have time this weekend, take some time and browse through this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=boNjag7NP7o I found it so inspiring that across the major religions in the world, one thing is common – cherish all life and be kind to animals.  And most religions teach that we ought be kinder to animals because they are helpless and…

  • Anyone wants to spay a cat on 27th July? (at Klinik Kembiri)

    Ever since Dina Shahab (bless her kind heart!) offered to share her SNIP rates at Klinik Kembiri with other rescuers, we have had a few takers, especially those who have many cats and don’t mind travelling to Klinik Kembiri in Setapak.  And these rescuers even pay the cost of spay-neuter by themselves since it’s so…

  • The 2 Penang dogs are gone

    Huey sent me a link, but it’s in Chinese writing, so I couldn’t read it.  Apparently, according to it, the 2 Penang dogs were already put down yesterday.  Huey also told me that a friend met the lady-owner of the dogs earlier and she was crying most bitterly.  The couple had fought a long hard…

  • Please pray for the 2 Penang dogs

    I have just received the sad news from my friend that the 2 Penang dogs will be euthanised tomorrow.  Apparently, the decision is final.  I hope this news is not true, or maybe there is chance of a reprieve, but whatever it is, we have to do the needful.  Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/06/letter-of-appeal-to-spare-lives-of-4.htmlRef: http://animalcare.my/2011/07/what-blind-humans-doplease-pray-for-2.htmlAll that’s left for us to…
