    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/10/01/very-urgent-fosterer-required-for-rescued-kittens-ong-poh-suans/ I wish to apologise unreservedly to Loo Poh Suan for getting her surname wrong in all our previous posts on the “OPS kittens”.

  • WHERE do all these cats come from??

    First, it was Mr G. Then, came Rosie, Ginger and Snow White. Next, it was Bosco and tonight, we have another visitor… A small one too. I was out at Bunny’s Clubhouse talking to my friend about fostering a dog when Bunny went to the sidegate and meowed in a strange way. It was definitely…

  • Some measures to reduce fraud

    In view of this: http://animalcare.my/2012/10/09/human-dishonesty-is-also-infinite/, we need to revise some of our procedures as an added caution to reduce the incidence of fraud and dishonesty.

We will never even guess how the human criminal mind works….when it comes to ways and means to cheat. Some months back, I highlighted a case where an…

To my untrained eye and mind, it looks as though Bunny wants to boss everyone else and…
