  • A street kitten….now, safe and sound

    Prem has been looking after a street kitten and she was worried the kitten isn’t street-smart enough to fend for herself. So, she called yesterday asking if we could help find a fosterer and later, an adopter.What great timing, because Aimy is coming all the way from Gombak today and Aimy is a cat-fosterer.  So it…

  • A haven for TNR-ed cats at Washington Heights

    Never say “Oh, that’s in the US so it can be done, but over here, no way!” – never say that, because if we do, it will really not be done here. It’s just a convenient excuse for us NOT to do anything. We have to do it, and to keep pushing for it, and one…
