  • 11.10pm: Rosie eats!

    So Rosie was making a racket in the cage for quite sometime and I just had to let her be. It wasn’t Ginger or Daffodil accompanying her, but Timmy. But we did wonder whether Timmy is accompanying Rosie or just staking a claim on his cage… By about 11pm, I went to check on Rosie…

  • Rosie has a fever

    Rosie did not come for dinner today, and I thought she was holed up somewhere due to the rain. I went to look and found her inside the big box in the porch. I thought she was afraid of the rain, so I brought a bowl of food to her but she wasn’t interested. After…

    Recently, we were alerted to a litter of abandoned puppies. We made some calls and a friend volunteered to rescue the puppies.

  • Pro-life and no-kill

    One night not so long ago, a lady called me. She introduced herself as a cat rescuer who has been getting street cats neutered for ages. She called because she had just taken in this heavily pregnant cat (“going to deliver anytime soon”, she said) and asked if it would be alright to spay the…
