Month: September 2011

  • Silver, male cat, neutered (Sumitra’s)

    Sumitra sent her male cat, Silver, to be neutered recently and it was sponsored by her students, Girlie Gan and Natasya Tan and also by her cat, Pai Pai. This is Pai Pai.

  • Another female cat spayed (Eddy Chng’s)

    Eddy Chng also sent another female cat to be spayed under our sponsorship today. I don’t know why Eddy has tied the cat up this way.  Cats should never be tied up as their necks are soft and they cannot sustain a leash like dogs can.

  • A female cat spayed (Yap Siew Hwa’s)

    Mrs Lim sent another female cat to be spayed under our sponsorship today. Flank spaying and ear is notched.

  • Putih’s updates – surgery done,

    Putih’s surgery was finally done tonight, and Putih is okay. The vet hopes the sutures would hold.  Beng Kai will visit tomorrow and update me.

  • Mickey’s updates – Day 4

    Mickey’s owner has finally visited him. She says he looks as fine and sweet as ever. She said the vet will remove the catheter today. If Mickey can pee on his own, it means the rupture has healed and all is well. If not, another surgery may be needed.We’ll pray that all goes well.

  • Putih’s surgery is delayed

    I texted the vet and he said Putih’s surgery has not been done yet as he had to source for the materials. I have advised Beng Kai of his options for Putih, ie. if it is urgent, he could transfer Putih to another vet if Putih is fit enough to be moved. As Putih’s rescuer,…

  • No Kill Advocacy Centre

    The chairman of Selangor’s SPCA shared this with me: http://www.nokilladvocacycenter.org/We’ve always advocated the No-Kill Policy. We do not condone euthanasia but instead, provide palliative care for terminal animals. We do not spay pregnant animals. We do not support capture-and-kill and that is why I pulled our support out of the petition initiated by the SPCA as proposals…

  • The story of difficult (challenging?) humans

    I once gave a talk on “Dealing with Difficult Humans” and was told by a member of the audience that in the first place, perhaps we should never label people as “difficult” because that already gives them a negative connotation. Point taken.So can I call them “challenging” humans instead, or perhaps, humans who have been…

  • Callie’s in hospital again (Pet Boarding cruelty case)

    During the Pet Boarding fiasco, 16 out of the 300+ cats died as a result of not being fed food or water for 9 days or more during the Hari Raya holidays. A total of 12 cat graves were also later uncovered within the premises of the operators of that boarding place. As such, we…

  • Please pray for Putih (surgery this morning)

    This is regarding Putih, the neighbour’s cat that Beng Kai rescued. I have just communicated with the vet and Putih needs a rather complicated surgery which involves the re-wiring of his broken jaw and insertion of a feeding tube.  According to Beng Kai’s conversation with the neighbour last night, the neighbour does not want Putih…

  • A touching story on loyalty

    This is from a comment by Connie. I’m reproducing it here for the benefit of all readers: My belated dad once brought home 2 cute puppies. He said he found those puppies inside a plastic bag which was hanging at the fence. He said to my mum these two pups are god’s creature yet, human (…

  • The Blueys’ whale of a time!

    For happy kittens, everywhere is a playground and practically everything is a toy…. They love the playhouse…  The kitchen rug…  The new basket…  Uncle Bunny watches from his pink box… (He has reclaimed ownership by coming into the room now….)  Helping me check stock.. Quality control….very stringent.

  • Sharing responsibility for Putih, a cat

    Khoo Beng Kai had earlier written to me asking how he could help this white cat, Putih, who lives in his neighbourhood.  We discussed what needed to be done, and I had not heard from Beng Kai until a few days ago… Hi Dr Chan I am not sure you still remember me or not. I…
