Ahh…this is the best present for me today – ACTS of Batu Pahat, under the leadership of Angie Ng Chew Khui, has started a CNRM subsidy programme, modeled after ours.
Their procedures:
This is exactly what I had been hoping for since we started our programme three years ago – that other groups of people will start their own programmes in their respective towns.
ACTS has its own panel vet in Batu Pahat now. That was how we started three years ago too – with 6 panel vets in the Klang Valley. But after a year, requests came in from other places as well, so we changed our system to a subsidy scheme without any panel vets. That way, we could reach out and help caregivers in the whole of Malaysia.
Any project will undergo changes as needs and requirements change with time. The important thing is to start it off and this is what Angie Ng has done. Angie told me that she is using her own funds to start this off and hence, she will only be able to do 4 cases a month.
Meanwhile, we shall continue to help her and her friends, Miow Leng and Wei Tah, with their cases until they can be on their own.
Congratulations, ACTS!! We wish you success all the way!
We would also like to encourage other groups of friends to start off a similar programme. You can always start off small like ACTS, with just one panel vet. Like AnimalCare, you don’t have to expand if you are shorthanded. Keep it small, simple and manageable.
Remember that every animal neutered translates to the prevention of hundreds of unwanted births and the reduction of untold suffering on the street.

Well done ACTS! It is hardwork but in the end is all worth it!
YES. I once read (I think it was a publications from SPCA USA), a female cat that is not spayed would have 33,000, what shall I call it — her children, children-children …
Well done Dr Chan for inspiring others to follow your footsteps.
I am sure many people will follow suit in time to come. Perhaps in a few years time, we shall see chapters of Animalcare in all corners of Malaysia.
Keep up the good work.
This news is really soothing for the heart. Hope more & more to come by.
Many more will be inspired…Have hope.
