  • Spaying sponsorship for 1 female cat (Liaw Jarn Ling’s)

    We have fully sponsored RM80 for the spaying of this female cat from Bentong. Ms Liaw is not IT-savvy, so the photo was sent to us by the vet from SPCA Selangor as the spaying was done there.  

  • Willy on his longest MIA

    Willy has not turned up for about 2 weeks now. He started disappearing just before Chinese New Year, then came back for awhile, disappeared again, and returned on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year, stayed for a few days, and has not turned up since. This time, I have a gut feeling his family…

  • Heidi, the kitchen-cat

    It’s confirmed, Heidi is our kitchen-cat. Even on the very first day that she came, she had already made a beeline for the kitchen and stayed there. Now, she is firmly established as our kitchen-cat. Here are photos taken over a day: After breakfast. At mid-morning. At lunch time. Shortly after lunch. But she does…

  • So wasn’t it we who called it “FURniture”?

  • Home sweet home for 16 cats

    Yes, miracles do happen sometimes…if we put in the effort! A friend told us about these cats who desperately needed a home. Most of these cats had been recently abandoned by their owners. We discussed the options and a friend (bless her kind soul) offered to take over all these cats. Another friend offered transportation…

  • A gentle reminder of our policies

    My apologies first, to our regular readers, because I have to keep repeating myself every few months regarding this issue. This is because we have new readers and new applicants all the time which necessitates this gentle reminder. We wish to draw your attention to the parts in red below, which are clearly stated in…

  • Dr Jane Goodall and Wounda

    Akmar shared this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2557961/Thanks-The-touching-moment-chimp-nursed-health-hugs-carer.html As the door to Wounda’s box is opened, she scampers around but stays close to her human caregivers. She stands on top of her box and sits down to take in her new surroundings. Then, without thinking, she turns and hugs Dr. Goodall in a moving moment of tenderness between human and…

  • Timmy tips the scales at….(you’ll be surprised!)

    Timmy requested that I write this post, in his defense. Apparently, he checked our Facebook page and found that 250 people (and still counting!) had read the post entitled “Plump, chubby, portly….” and he wants to defend himself. This one: http://animalcare.my/2014/02/12/plump-chubby-portly-round-chunky-paunchy-and-prosperous/ So he requested that I take these photos of him…with him posing at a more…

  • The story of milk

    I’ve shared this fact a few times now: Humans are the only animals who continue drinking milk after infancy. And they also drink the milk of other animals. Here are some facts for us to ponder: http://iwastesomuchtime.com/on/?i=69893 I’ve been milk-free for more than a decade now. Don’t miss a thing, and you can sleep easy knowing…

  • Another difference between humans and animals

    Take a look: http://www.viralnova.com/touching-dog-comic/ Call it whatever you like, but animals have this wonderful ability to accept their destiny and live with it. I’d like to call it “wisdom”. Humans complain, fret, deny, get angry, bargain, get depressed…before they finally (hopefully?) accept their destiny and learn to live with it. Here’s one up for the animals…again.…
