  • Tabs’ portraits – “See….no hands!”

    My son took these photos of Tabs: See…no hands! Me is feeling cold today… Wherever Tabs is, you’ll find Tiger nearby.

  • Kathina fundraising for the street animals

    The crowd was unusually thin this Kathina at the SJBA. It’s puzzling…could it have something to do with the budget or the inflation? In any case, though the crowd was thin, fundraising was not bad. It rained heavily on Kathina Eve, but the rains soon stopped, so we were able to set up our booth.…

  • The circle of life and love

    While Marina mourns the unexpected demise of Polkadot at her new home, life begins for 3 new kittens in Marina’s home. Cotton was rescued by Marina sometime last week, and she was suspected to be either pregnant or has a tumour as the vet could not feel the kittens (if any). So the vet advised…

  • Be happy at Rainbow Bridge, Polkadot

    Polkadot had come such a long way, from the day she was rescued by Marina, given medical treatment until she healed, was adopted, re-adopted, and finally, adopted to a good home. But we received sad news this morning. Polkadot is gone now. For every being born, his/her lifespan is determined. We don’t know how long…

  • Tabs’ fun in the garden

    Tabs had been itching to go out for a romp. So being Saturday, I thought I’d give her a supervised treat. She’s been quite mischievous lately, so she has to be watched. Daffodil and Vincent watch her. Brother-and-sister, Ginger and Rosie, watch from higher ground. Mr Zurik was still around and he growled at Tabs.…

Nowadays, Vincent, Heidi and Ginger are inside the house most of the time. Daffodil and Timmy are at the patio while…

  • “Stray-free” vs “Stray-friendly”; Indian street dog and their rights

    Recently, a lot of people forwarded a petition to us urging us to sign it. It was lobbying for a “stray-free” community. Many rescuers and animal caregivers signed it but I did wonder if they knew what they were signing for. A “stray-free” community would mean the continuous capturing of stray animals. Is this what…
