  • Bosco, Raven and Rosie…come in!

    Last night there was a very, very heavy thunderstorm in Subang Jaya and Bosco and Raven were missing from the porch!  I was so worried about them and we went out to check many times, but both of them were not in the porch. I was so worried, I stayed up until past midnight, after…

    Pak Din (Nordin Hashim) comes under our Food Fund. He is 64 years old, unemployed and has no proper home. Pak Din lives in Gombak in a make-shift shack (which our reader, Connie James, very kindly refurbished for him recently). Although he barely has enough for himself, he looks after the stray dogs and cats…

  • Spaying subsidy for 2 female dogs and medical subsidy for 8 puppies (Magdalene Sim Eng May’s)

    Magdalene Sim called me on the phone sometime back requesting help with subsidies for her rescued dogs. She is not IT-savvy, so she asked if her friend could write on her behalf and email the photos to me. I said that is possible, but as per our policy, the reimbursement will be banked into Magdalene’s…

  • 5 more packs of dogfood for Mr Low’s North Port dogs

  • A heartwarming tale of a cat adopting her human family (Melanie Tong’s)

    Here is something very nice to share. It’s from Melanie Tong, someone who chanced upon our blog: Hi Kah Yein, A 7-month-old, female cat just adopted my family. We are new at caring for cats. I was given your contact so I could ask about shots, deworming, neutering and diet. And where we can go…

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/10/17/very-urgent-doghunt-tomorrow-in-pj-please-protect-your-dogs/ Ah, as the day ends now, I dearly hope all our animals are safe and sound. We would all do well to always keep our animals safe from the possible dangers lurking out there. As my post said (and very clearly too), it was just a tip-off and I was not sure whether it…

  • On a hot day….it’s BATHTIME!!

    Whenever my husband goes off to work, Bosco (and now, even Raven) comes into the house. They know when they can come in…(shh). This afternoon, Bosco was comfortably sitting on the sofa next to me. That’s when I noticed how “grey” his white patches were. It’s supposed to be white, but it’s all grey. Greasy,…

  • Spaying sponsorship for 1 female cat (Noora Bt Rosli & Friends’)

    We have fully sponsored RM100 for this case. Noora and her friends are university students and they have taken up the task (and joy!) of CNRM-ing the cats in their area. Kudos to them!

  • Products that are not tested on animals

    Hi folks, as a follow-up to the post from PETA on refraining from using products that are tested on animals, here’s a sharing from me on what I use at home. As far as I’m told, Amway products are not tested on animals. We use LOC for practically every sort of cleaning purpose and Dish…

  • Are you paying for animal testing? (from PETA)

    This is from PETA: Are you paying for tests on animals? For many compassionate people just like you, the answer could unintentionally be yes. Right now many unsuspecting consumers are purchasing products from companies that continue to conduct cruel—and entirely unnecessary—tests that will cost countless animals their lives. This includes some corporations that have publicly…

    This story is shared by my friend, Bugs Tan. The original source is here: http://buddhistbugs.blogspot.com/2012/10/when-justice-is-tempered-with-mercy.html (reproduced below) Can we hope for the same when an animal case comes up? Can we think creatively to turn things around when it concerns our much down-trodden and defenseless animal friends?  Let’s think out of the box, friends. Read on and…
