  • The 3 products from Bacoff

    From left: Deodoriser, Surface Cleaner, UK-Disinfectant The best deodoriser is the Deodoriser (of course!).  It is the mildest disinfectant among the three. The strongest disinfectant is the UK-Disinfectant. The Surface Cleaner is in between (it can be used undiluted as a spray or diluted with water to mop). So, please choose depending on your needs.…

  • Our new products for fund-raising!

    As you well know, my mum and I sew things to raise funds for AnimalCare. Sewing and handicraft are my mum’s passion and expertise. For me, it’s a hobby I just picked up….because of AnimalCare! Since our blankets and shopping bags have been around “long enough” now, it’s time for a change, so take a look at…

  • Cow opens his eye…a wee bit

    Cow spent the whole of yesterday on his springy bed, clearly quite upset about having to wear the e-collar. With some difficulty, we managed to put his eyedrops as instructed by the vet – the eyedrops every 2 hours and the ointment at night, before we went to bed. The main ingredient in Cow’s eyedrops…

  • A TNR success story

    Koo shares this: http://www.animalsheltering.org/resources/magazine/nov-dec-2013/asm-novdec-2013/the-challenge-of-a-rural-tnr.html In October 2012, six months after Jordan wrapped up the Ashford TNR program, OCAR opened its new brick-and-mortar sanctuary in Ashford, and Jordan was chosen to be its feline director. She’s happy as can be that people aren’t calling OCAR to take their barn cats. “I solved that problem,” she says, “before…

  • The short afternoon movie, Part 2

    Part 1: http://animalcare.my/2015/03/02/a-short-afternoon-movie/ So, yes, Jia-Wen is awfully bored during his days off in Jeddah. Here’s Part 2… But before you watch the movie, I have to give you a bit of background to the cat “world” in his eyes. He is in Team Bunny and he is totally convinced that Ginger is a mastermind of…

  • Is this the culprit?

    So we said it has to be either Cleo or Indy who scratched Cow’s eye. The vet said there was a scratch across the eye (could be new or a scar from the December Indy-fight incident). We forgot another possibility…. This cat…and yes, she scratches from outside the grille. And if she doesn’t get you,…

  • A short discussion

    Cleo to Bunny: Poor Cow, ya?  And mum thinks it’s me or Indy…sobs. It wasn’t me, actually. 

  • Holy Cow! Not that right eye again….

    We were out all morning yesterday and when we came back at noon, I noticed Cow could not open his right eye. Oh no, it’s that same eye again. Yes, the one that went through a month of treatment, got so badly ulcerated and then underwent the third eyelid flap operation, which thankfully, turned out…

  • Turn IKEA beds into…what else? Cat beds, of course!

    Chen Chen shared this: http://www.boredpanda.com/japanese-cat-bed-ikea-duktig/ Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face even if you’ve had a totally lousy day! Dog: Why am I on the lower bunk?

  • Waiter…

    Jasmine (bless her kind heart) sends me lovely pictures of cats every single day, but this just has to be one of the cutest ever!

  • Let the dames show us how to really RELAX!

    This is a very rare sight – Daffodil totally relaxed and throwing caution to the wind. When we see her in this manner, we are very happy that after more than 10 years of living as a community cat, she has now finally accepted our home as hers. AND she feels safe. Daffodil adopting us…
