  • Who has panic mode tendency?

    Some animals can go into panic mode quite easily. It all depends on the animal. And when they do, they get into a frenzy and will “forget” everything except to save themselves. In other words, they go into survival and defense mode. Amongst our cats, Riley goes into panic mode very easily. Hopefully, as she…

  • Bandar Utama folks, is your cat missing?

    Dear Bandar Utama folks, If your cat is missing this morning (26th May 2023), please go to PAWS tomorrow at 9.30am and get back your cat as soon as you can.    

  • Indy rules

    Ever since we started opening Stargate for longer hours now, the Monsters have been coming over to eat grass and Indy has been going over to Ginger’s Catio AND ruling from there. Initially, when Indy was on Stargate2 platforms, nobody dared to go up. Everyone stayed down. Indy, at 15 years old, is still a…

  • Indra wants to try going out again?

    Why are you looking up, Indra? Indra was the one who escaped a few days ago and hubby and Gerald rescued her and brought her back. Now, the platforms have been lowered so that she cannot use the same modus operandi to escape again. But she is still looking… Let’s hope the Blondies grow bigger…

  • The brutality that strays face at the hands of law enforcement

    This article was published in April 2023 during the height of Mr Patrick Khoo’s case. It deserves a second read and all of us must be reminded that the animals rely on us for protection and we who claim to love them, must do our part to protect them: https://www.wikiimpact.com/animal-justice-the-brutality-strays-face-at-the-hands-of-law-enforcement/ ALL of us.  

  • Shameless humans

    It’s been very upsetting learning about the elderly 85 year-old man, Mr Law, who died while protecting his pet dog from the dog catchers in Bentong. The incident happened at 5pm on 24th May 2023 and until now, we still have not seen any statement by the authorities. An elderly man has died, for goodness’…

  • Which country has more cats than humans?

    Here’s the answer! https://www.instagram.com/reel/Crvrs6voeww/?igshid=NzJjY2FjNWJiZg%3D%3D According to the post, one theory as to why there are so many cats is that St Helena shipped hundreds of cats from Egypt to Cyprus to chase out snakes from a monastery in 328 AD. Yikes! That’s not a good reason, but if that’s true, it’s already in the past. What…

  • Get well soon, Bro Mooi Chee Onn

    We take a moment here to send our very best wishes and positive healing thoughts to a very dear friend and supporter of AnimalCare: Bro Mooi Chee Onn.

  • Getting a little “dirty”, for healthier life

    I love Adzhar Ibrahim’s articles. Here’s one: https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/opinion/2023/05/21/let-your-kids-get-dirty-for-a-healthier-life/ It talks about letting children get a little dirty at times, particularly in earthing and being with nature, because it will actually make this healthier. Well, would it be the same with cats and dogs too? I’ve noticed that ever since the Blondies were moved from the bedroom…

  • Jayden visits his friends

    Ginger was Jayden’s best friend where Jayden was growing up and it’s been more than a year now! Ginger used to live inside the house, but he started spraying massively, making detecting his urine spots and cleaning a great challenge, so we had to relocate him to Ginger’s Catio with his wards, the Monsters who…

  • Indy’s platforms are solid now

    We realised that the new Stargate’s material was of a very much more inferior quality compared with our Stargate2 only when the platforms were installed and Indy refused to go all the way up. When he jumped onto the platforms the whole gate shook.  So Indy never went all the way up. Only the kittens…

  • Updates on Fate (from Survivor Shelter)

    Here’s updates from Ms Ong: All is well with Fate. She’s a happy little kitten with an occasional sneeze which could be due to some allergy. Ms Ong will be taking her for the first vaccination soon. For new readers, Ms Ong’s Survivor Shelter is a dog shelter and home to 46 dogs. Fate was…
