  • Tomorrow is Amira’s 12 cats/kittens’ appointment

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/03/06/very-urgent-help-needed-for-12-cats-amira-sabris/ I went to speak with our vet today regarding Amira’s 12 cats/kittens which she is bringing in tomorrow for a check-up and treatment. The vet said Amira has called the clinic and spoken to him. Apparently, according to Amira, there appears to be an outbreak of a fast-spreading contagious skin infection in her cats.…

  • A bed of thorns, Part 4

    Updates on “the case”: The Kawan is acting as middle-person to apply for help for the hoarder. Initially, there were 30 dogs, but we found out 18 had died from distemper, so there are now 12 left. Our first offer is to get these 12 vaccinated to protect them from further outbreak of any disease…

  • Sumitra’s two newborns at the fosterer’s

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/03/03/found-fosterer-for-the-two-newborns-sumitras/ One of our readers responded to help out Sumitra with the fostering of the two newborns for 8 days while Sumitra is away. Today, Sumitra and her friends brought the two kittens to the fosterer. The fosterer wishes to remain anonymous, so we shall respect that. These kittens are probably too young to be…

  • Updates on Daisy, Dewey and Oprah (!)

    Who is Oprah?? Well, apparently, The Mighty Thor is a girl, so she has been renamed Oprah now!! Equally mighty, I must say… Daisy and siblings went to the vet’s today: As for 3 musketeers, all 3 been de-wormed. The vet said, they look really healthy except he thinks they still have worms. He did a…

  • Subsidy for Herculis’ hematoma repair case (Meiji’s dog)

    This is one of Meiji’s many dogs. His name is Herculis. Meiji sent him down for aural hematoma repair last week and the bill is RM151. We have subsidised RM75.50 for it.

  • Yes, we have a blacklist

    We have a blacklist, and this is because our funds come from donations from the public and it is our duty to ensure that the money is used wisely and correctly and all for the animals. So, who is on our blacklist? Previously, when we had panel vets and we used to sponsor up to…

  • Subsidy for vaccination for male dog, Zutzai (Carman Hor’s)

    Carman Hor is a university student. Her adopted street dog, Hambao’s, initial treatment was subsidised by us. There was another two medical claims for Hambao’s mange treatment in February recently and when she failed to acknowledge receipt of the funds, she was blacklisted. She also claimed the medical treatment in full despite knowing our 50%…

  • Subsidy for spaying of a female dog (Winnie Mettler’s)

    We have sponsored RM90 for the spaying of a female dog rescued by Winnie Mettler. The procedure was done at Klinik Kembiri, so the charges are even lower than our subsidy rate, hence, we are able to sponsor in full.

  • Subsidy for spaying of female dog, Storm (Myza Nordin’s)

    Storm has come a long, long way ever since the time she was almost torn apart due to a fight between two mother-dogs. Here is her story from rescuer, Myza Nordin: Storm is rescued from Selayang in July, 2011. She had a bad neck injury (head almost torn apart) due to ‘tug of war’ between 2 mother…

  • R = Rehome or Return to Colony

    Two people have written to me to discuss the disadvantages of returning spayed-neutered animals to the colony. And today, with the post about foreigners eating dogs and cats, returning animals to the colony takes a backseat even more. A reader even said in view of the street animals being eaten, perhaps they may be better off…

  • Is it so hard to follow rules?

    Most of my days start off very nicely even with the barrage of emails (piled up from the night) that I have to respond to or the subsidy claim forms that had come in the day before whose reports I have to publish here (for our many donors) and claims I have to reimburse. I…

  • An after-dinner guest…

    This morning, as I was about to leave for work, I suddenly noticed a fairly large animal (not sure if it was a dog or a cat) walking past my Bunny-Grille. I quickly took a peek and guess who it was?  Yay! It was Mr G! He must have come in from the front windows…

  • Oh gosh…is this why stray dogs and cats are disappearing?

    From one of our readers: Had a rather disturbing or interesting conversation with a businessman friend from Port Klang. He brought up that his friend who own businesses at the port lost his 2 German Shepard and later discovered after much persuasions that his workers from a foreign country had consumed his dogs after making…
