  • Sam’s second kitten is…calico?

    The second kitten has arrived now, after half an hour!! I cannot tell the colour for sure, but she looks like calico or maybe tortoiseshell. Definitely female then. 99% sure. Wait, not a tortie. I see some white. So, must be a calico. I’m quite sure there will be at least one more. It’s usually…

  • Sam’s first kitten has arrived!!! (looks exactly like Gerald)

    11.00am: The first kitten has arrived!!! I think he is male (but I’m not sure). He’s ginger and his colour is exactly like…Gerald’s!!! Strong lungs! We can even hear him mewing from downstairs. Riley was the midwife! I’ve decided to choose Asian-sounding names (not penjajah names) for Samantha’s kittens and so far, I have on…

  • A single-handed stealth operation (Samantha is back upstairs)

    I woke up at 2am to check on Samantha. And I tell you, cats can read minds, for sure. They can read minds and they will cooperate if they want to. Or, they will also try to tell you what they want (but are we smart enough to discern it – that is the question).…

  • Kinta Dog will be discharged soon (donation of RM715 disbursed)

    Finally, we have good news on Kinta Dog! She has recovered and will be discharged soon, brought back to Persatuan Pencinta Haiwan Kinta’s shelter and looked after there until she is fit enough to be returned to the colony where there is a feeder. The total bill came up to RM1,315.00. On 27th November 2022,…

  • A novel protein for Indy – Monge’s Monoprotein Duck

    Among all our cats now, Indy is the one in dire need of at least one novel protein. He’s the one having the soft stool issue and since being on Metronidazole, it’s only got worse. So the vet agreed that we should stop the Metronidazole and go on the Promax (a probiotic). The vet also…

  • Neutering aid for 1 cat in Skudai (Kimberley Chai Wai Xian’s)

    We have provided an aid of RM100 for the neutering of this cat, Oyen. Ms Kimberley Chai is a new applicant. Welcome on board, Kimberley!!

  • Hmm….maybe it wasn’t Gerald??

    Here’s what I think about Samantha’s pregnancy. I still don’t see the “drop” in her belly so there is actually another possibility. Yes, I saw Gerald mating with her on 6th December 2022, multiple times too and yes, I tried to separate them, but it was of no use. I had assumed this union resulted…

  • Our e-forms are bilingual

    Ever since we changed our aid application forms to e-forms (gone green!), everything has been going very smoothly. Of course there are the aunties and uncles who complain that they cannot fill up the e-forms. For that matter, they also couldn’t fill up the paper forms, so apa bezanya?  If you apply for a loan from…

  • Samantha’s updates

    It’s all quiet on the Western front. Samantha ate the Primal Turkey yesterday. So it was a case of hesitance due to it being a new taste. Now, she gobbles it all up. Why I seemed anxious is that I know cats are so resilient and will not show pain or distress until it’s really…

  • Declared safe to use – Rey leads the way!

    Rey decided for everyone that the new platforms are safe to use and play on. It’s always been Rey since they were kittens, as young as 2-weeks old. Rey was the first to attempt everything, including climbing up to the small platforms that we had built in the cage where they were born in. And…

  • An update on the Kota Bharu neutering project

    I just received a call from Ms Amy, the Kota Bharu rescuer who has stepped forward to help in whatever way she can. Ms Amy has already spoken with Ms Woon and obtained a clearer picture of what financial aid Ms Woon is able to provide for the dogs. As it stands now, the plan…

  • Keeping it simple (just be an example)

    Certain events have motivated me to write this blogspot to share my thoughts. If you are reading this, I know it is because you care for animals. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even come to this blog. Prior to GE15 and right after, we wrote to the politicians, to try, yet again, to request that they do…

  • Avant Pet and Ecopet products for fundraising

    Avant Pet and Ecopet have been supporting our work for many, many years now. Definitely more than a decade! During the MCO, there were challenges with logistics (as there were in other companies too), but now that everywhere is opened up again, we hope you will come back and support our work by purchasing Avant…

  • Extended lookout for the Monsters!!

    We ordered this a month before Chinese New Year, from the same supplier, Golden Triology. It was installed today!! So, from the lookout, they can hop onto this extended long platform, walk along it… …and there are steps down to the wooden shelf. Tengah bermesyuarat… Is it safe or not? Why did she fix this?…
