  • For a more economical brand of canned food

    I’d just go by what Dr Susanna has recommended when it comes to kibble-diet (Go!) and canned food since she has done extensive research on the ingredients used in most of the brands available on our Klang Valley market. Her choice of quality canned foods: 1. Go!, Natural Balance, Addiction (above RM5) 2. Qiut (only…

  • “Me loves me new cat-sand”, by Tabs

    As you know, NONE of my 6 cats use the litter box. And whose fault is it? Mine, of course. When I started with my first brood of Cow, Bunny and Pole, I had not even touched a cat before all my life…until I brought the three 2-day olds home and desperately learnt how to…

  • Sunshine’s acupuncture

    On Friday, after Dr Susanna did Bunny and Indy’s acupuncture, she went to my friend’s to do Sunshine’s. I did ask Dr Susanna how Sunshine is doing, and she says Sunshine is doing as well as she can be. There is progress every week. We thank Dr Susanna very much for her generous contribution in…

  • Subsidy for two rescued kittens (Rohayu Yunus’)

    This is the request from Rohayu Yunus: Dear Dr Chan, Saya adalah staff Ms Ho. Semalam suami saya telah menyelamatkan dua ekor anak kucing berumur 4 minggu di trafik light Wangsa Maju. Saya rasa mereka telah dibuang dalam plastik beg sebab ada beg dekat mereka. Saya dapati salah seekor dari mereka patah kaki dan tangan.…

  • One male cat neutered (Wong Nyet Poh’s)

    Yesterday, Ms Wong brought two male cats to be neutered at our panel vet under our sponsorship.  This one was neutered.  This one had diarrhoea and could not be neutered.

  • Kitten urgently in need of fosterer (Lim Mei Leng’s)

    Mei Leng is a rescuer in her own right and she also adopted one of our Klang Pound rescues, Perky. Jenny (a street dog from Puchong, with a very bad leg) was also rescued by her and subsequently rehomed at a no-kill sanctuary after recovering from an amputation of the leg, all sponsored by Mei…

  • Photo updates of Fifi (Lee’s)

    We are all keeping our fingers crossed that Fifi will go to a good home of a Husky-lover this weekend. Meanwhile, here are some photo updates from Lee:  Fifi socialising with Lee’s dogs.  Hello?    No hip dysplasia.      Aww…all in a row!  We pray Fifi will be adopted into a good home this…

  • One female cat spayed (Amiratul Fathiyah’s)

    Amiratul Fathiyah wrote to me a few days ago requesting help to spay-neuter two female cats, Capoo and Ren. The appointment was made today, but I received no sms from Amiratul before or after the spaying. I finally contacted our vet and he said only one cat has already been spayed while one was not…

  • New policy from 4th January 2012

    With reference to http://animalcare.my/2011/12/30/at-our-panel-vets/, I have just spoken to one of our panel vets about this problem. He has been helping us A LOT in the past two years with our spay-neuter cases. I explained to him that I had never intentionally intercepted his patients by offering the subsidy, but due to the recommendations of his…

  • At our panel vets

    As you know, ever since one lady created so much trouble for us amongst our panel vet, another vet and myself, we ceased having panel vets for medical treatment with immediate effect. Ever since that incident, rescuers get to go to any vet they like, and they are welcome to claim a subsidy from us…

  • The cats’ new pressure cooker

    This morning at breakfast, the cats were fascinated by this new shiny pot in the kitchen…  What’s that, they ask.  It’s the new pressure cooker I bought for them yesterday! The brand is WMF and I chose the 6.5 litres. In case any of you are interested, it’s on offer now, priced at RM999 (usual…

  • Bunny and Indy’s acupuncture

    Today was Indy’s 4th acupuncture and Bunny’s 3rd. Dr Susanna is very happy with Indy’s progress. His pulse is much, much stronger today, and he is as good as it gets! So, instead of 8 treatments, four already got Indy back to health and he doesn’t need anymore treatments. Bunny’s pulse, unfortunately, is still almost…

  • The Cat House on the Kings

    This is a sharing by Joy E. Saga as a response to my earlier post “Just as I was saying…” (about the Selangor Government’s intention to set up a centralised pound). Please see this: http://www.cathouseonthekings.com/index.php We appeal to our elected authorities to consider the above. Yes, Joy, I’ve decided to join you on your day-dreaming, too!…

  • A centralised pound?

    Just when I had just written the last post about our elected authorities not doing enough for the stray animals or animals in general, Wani sent me this link below: http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/2011/12/27/rm5-million-centralised-state-run-pound-in-the-works/ According to the report, the Selangor State government is going to start a “centralised pound”. As I understand it, a “pound” would still be…
