Ref: http://animalcare.my/2011/08/dr-veeranoots-4-kittens-all-back-now.html
Dr Veeranoot wrote today to say that all the 4 kittens are doing well at the vet’s, after just 3 days’ of boarding for treatment.
Even the weakest one, Thongkon, is doing well, and all can be discharged, one by one, probably by next week.
Dr Veeranoot has also spoken to the sanctuary’s president and he said the lady who adopted them wanted to adopt all four and subsequently, she had not gone back to the sanctuary to ask for advice.
I presume the sanctuary, as with most shelters, also do not have the resources to follow-up on adoption cases as they have too many cases to deal with.
But this is another case of acting fast enough on the part of Dr Veeranoot. If not, it could be bad news by now.
We are relieved all the four kittens are well.
I guess this is also why some rescuers refuse to give up their animals for adoption (presumably after many bad experiences) and instead, adopt the animals themselves. Some know how to draw the line somewhere and say, “no more, this is as many as I can adopt” while some do not draw the line, and end up as “hoarders”. These would be those who keep taking in animals but cannot provide enough for them.

Actually who wants to be hoarders? You have to choose between closing your eyes and be apathetic to the suffering, or "put to sleep", or push yourself to the limit and at least give them a simple home with some degree of love, shelter and food.
Many choose closing their eyes, some "putting to sleep" … and some "hoard", I guess ….
All between the Devil and the deep blue sea …
You did not read my last line. "Hoarders" are only those who keep taking AND CANNOT PROVIDE FOR THE ANIMALS, not those who can provide. For example, I wouldn't call Meiji a hoarder although she is looking after 128 dogs. She provides for them – they are all well-fed and their medical needs attended to promptly albeit the distance from Raub to KL.
On the other hand, there is a hoarder in KL who has more than 50 dogs. His dogs are in dire conditions. They do not even have food. They are practically dying of starvation. My two friends use to go in weekly to bring food and help him until he quarreled with them and barred them from going. That would be a "hoarder".
Call up DVS and file a complaint of animal cruelty.
