  • After 12 hours of being missing, Vincent returns!!

    This starts with quite a long story, but I’ll try and make it short. Vincent has been having a hard time at the patio ever since Zurik gained access here. We all know how hard Vincent tried to prevent Zurik from coming in and…failed. And to Vincent, this is a big blow on his confidence…

    Here are three articles, the first written with many references from veterinary research and the second is about a modified technique of spaying while the third is written by “an angry vet”, all of which discusses some disadvantages of the conventional spaying and neutering, particularly if it is done at an early age, before the animal reaches…

  • Oh dear, please do not do this…

    I received a query from a potential applicant to our fund recently. She had contacted me much earlier to ask about our neutering aid and I had already explained our procedures, sent her the policies in writing and the forms, etc. She contacted me again, after having read our policies, to say that she found…

  • A sharing on giving

    Last Sunday, I was invited by the Buddhist Gem Fellowship to do a sharing on “giving”. I was really pleasantly surprised to see Jelissa and Xiang Jun (our two youngest volunteers) in the audience!

  • What’s that on Bunny’s Chin?

    We noticed a sort-of blister/bruise on Bunny’s chin on Wednesday. By this morning, it hadn’t got better, so it’s off to the vet’s. I was worried it could be a sporo spot because it does look similar to Yoke Mei’s Blacktail’s sporo spots (https://animalcare.my/2013/04/03/blacktail-sporo-cat-now-recovering-well-a-sharing-by-wong-yoke-mei/). Sporotrichosis, the fungi, is found in soil, so it could be…
