  • Yianni, the Nile crocodile signals: I’m still alive.

    Here’s a very touching story about how an abandoned and neglected crocodile now leads a happier life because a human understood its message to her: http://www.care2.com/causes/nile-crocodile-signals-rescuer-im-still-alive.html It’s so true that we sometimes judge an animal by its looks. Here’s an excerpt: Humans have a misconception about the psyche of crocs and imbue them with villainous qualities because…

  • A probable “Poleway” to freedom (no escape today)

    I figured this was probably how Pole escaped yesterday. She has “demonstrated” it to me twice so far.  From the wooden shelf, she gets onto the clothes line.  She has no problems at all walking on the clothes line. From the clothes lines, I figured she can hop onto the water pipe and from there,…

  • Black cat, neutered and returned to colony (Dr Veeranoot’s)

    From Dr Veeranoot: If your remembered a stray black cat that I rescued on 23 December, 2011 and sent to the clinic in Puchong. He was back to the colony in Pantai Hillpark on 3rd January, 2012 with a sign of much improvement. However, I need to continue once a week medication for another 4…

  • Indy walks out on his own!

    After not having walked on his own for almost a week, this afternoon, Indy walked out on his own to eat! I had been carrying Indy out a few times a day to pee and poo for the last few days ever since he developed that limp again.  Here’s Indy walking out to eat!  …

  • Subsidy for wounded cat (Mary Yap’s)

    Mary Yap picked up a wounded cat sometime ago just before she left for overseas. The cat had wounds and was sent to be treated at a clinic. We have subsidsed RM102 for the wound cleaning. It took a few days to clean the wound up and ensure that it healed.

  • Cookie collection (Thank you!)

    The CNY cookies are here and ready for collection. For those who have ordered, thank you very much. I’ll be writing to you individually today to advise on the date and time for collection. To all who have supported us, thank you once again! Every little bit helps as we have so many animals lining…

  • Pole escapes again…sigh….(she came back!!!)

    I was very, very tired after giving a talk last night and I had meant to only take a nap, but ended up sleeping until now. When I came back last night, I had let Pole out of the condo. She seemed happy. When I woke up just now, it was already 6am. I realised…

  • Managing Qatar’s Stray Cats – a success story

    Audrey Quah shared this: http://www.wspa-international.org/wspaswork/dogs/strayanimals/qatar_cats.aspx#.Twl7VsI5GmA.facebook It is a report on TNR being implemented on the stray cats in Qatar and it is a success story! If Qatar can do it, why can’t we? Here’s where there is a difference. Over here, we are pushing so hard for TNR (or CNRM) and we are not getting…

  • Pole’s polycarbonate – done!

     This morning, Pole made another attempt to escape through the gutter-gap.  But this time, we had hung clothes on the clothes line so she could not get a good foothold.  I’m learning.    Pole looks at the cat-grille but somehow, she decides not to try. I’m sure this is absolutely chicken-feed for her.  Not trying,…

  • One female cat spayed (Aniza Abdullah’s)

    Recently, Aniza Abdullah brought a stray female cat (named Grey) to her vet in Shah Alam for spaying. We have subsidised RM100 for the procedure.   Join us in CNRM. For every street animal spayed-neutered, we prevent thousands of unwanted births and unnecessary suffering. C = Care N = Neuter R = Rehome/Return to colony…

  • Casa sends dogfood and treats to Meiji in Raub

    As you know, Casa Doggie Store (under managing director Tan Chooi Chooi) initiated a Christmas Gift for Meiji in December: http://animalcare.my/2011/11/25/casas-christmas-gift-for-meiji/ The first installment was given to Meiji on 7th December: http://animalcare.my/2011/12/07/meiji-at-casa-doggie-store/ when Meiji came down personally to collect it. On 2nd January, Chooi Chooi and her husband, Derek, decided they would spare Meiji a trip down in…

  • “This is the way I ask for help” – by Tabs

    My husband said something really cute happened a few days ago while I was at work and before the cat-grille was installed. The cats were in the room and the wooden door was closed. Out of the blue, a yellow envelope (with my name on it) was slid under the door. Like so….(re-enacted to take…

  • The great stand-off with Gorilla-Cat

    Yesterday, while I was at work, my husband texted to say there was a great stand-off at Bunny’s Place with Mr Gorilla-Cat. At least, that’s what my husband decided to call that huge Cheshire-like cat who came to look down at our cats the previous day. Apparently, he came again yesterday morning and at the…
