  • Vaccination aid for 1 cat in Puchong (Soo Tzan Jian & Teng Yeeng Xuang’s) – Nomi

    We have provided an aid of RM25 for Nomi’s first vaccination. Nomi had undergone a very high-risk surgery for diaphragmatic hernia and she is home now!

  • Nomi’s home!!!

    At last, Nomi is well enough to be discharged. She’s home now!!! Nomi has also been vaccinated. Nomi has antibiotics twice a day, her movement would have to be restricted and her wound checked to ensure it’s clean and dry. She has also been given transdermal Tramadol as a standby painkiller, if needed. She needs…

  • Nomi, Miao and Nomi’s siblings

    Seeing as how Nick and Aline are new in their caregiving work, we have taken the liberty of offering a few suggestions to them. This is especially because it has been really unfortunate (and also very rare) that both Nomi and Miao were afflicted with diaphragmatic hernia. The chances are so, so slim, and yet,…

  • Happy Mother’s Day 2024

    Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers!! My mother used to say: It is a blessing to be able to give. My grandma would always say: Do not waste even a grain of rice. Eat up all your food! Happy Mother’s Day, everyone!

  • More complications for Miao (3rd trimester pregnancy)

    More complications have set in for Ah Miao. The vet informed us and the caregivers today that Miao is pregnant and already in the third trimester. This means she is due to give birth in 2 weeks. It has been 4 months since her last delivery and we know free-roaming unspayed cats can get pregnant…

  • Nomi continues to improve (Day 5)

    The vet sent updates and photos of Nomi! Nomi’s breathing has improved and she is sleeping very well. She is also no longer in the oxygen chamber now. All good! These are photos from caregiver, Nicholas Soo, when he visited today:

  • Neutering aid for 3 cats in Kluang, Johor (Yu Bee Kian’s) & Updates

    We have fully sponsored RM450 for the neutering of these 3 female cats. Ms Yu is assisted by Mr Cheng Pet Sin (he helps to clean the cat house daily). Updates on previously-claimed cats are below. Previously-claimed cats:

  • Homegrown guavas!

    If you would be so kind as to permit me to digress a little today, here’s sharing some photos of our homegrown organic guavas! For two people who absolutely have no green fingers, this is our pride and joy! We planted this tree from a single seed, obtained from an organic guava. It is amazing,…

  • Stripey, a sporo-warrior (a sharing by Vincent Lim)

    It isn’t often that we get someone who so voluntarily and graciously write up their home-caring experience for us to publish and share so it came as such a pleasant surprise to receive this email from Vincent Lim! Thank you so much, Vincent! Here’s Vincent’s inspiring story (below) – and it would be the 19th…

  • Grey’s 2nd acupuncture treatment (from Lee Soo Farng)

    Yesterday was Grey’s second acupuncture treatment. According to Soo Farng, the vet says there is improvement in Grey’s condition. The Methycobal injection into the affected site is effective too. The vet advised that Grey should only be neutered next year, but he can already be vaccinated. This treatment is defrayed by Soo Farng herself. She…

  • The Monsters and their “refurbished” Catio

    Ever since the reptilian encounter, we cleared off all the pandan, thaumatococcus and jasmines from our front lawn. We also thinned out the thaumatococcus from the Catio. Ok, I’ll admit it was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction, but I was traumatised. Well, wouldn’t you have been too, if you were just 1 metre away…

  • Successful raw feeding for two days for the Blondies!

    The stars were aligned! I had two consecutive successful days of raw feeding for the Blondies – yesterday and today! All four ate raw food for breakfast!! That’s a record breaking feat! Our ginger girls – why do I still keep using the pronoun “he” for them until now?? Because 75% of gingers are males!…

  • Feline Gut Soothe for Indra

    I found out that Adored Beast has a very good pre-probiotic specially formulated for diarrhoea and loose stools, so I ordered it from the local seller, Honu Paws, and it was delivered the very next day. It arrived yesterday afternoon and I quickly gave some to Indra. For more info: https://adoredbeast.com/products/feline-gut-soothe It is amazing! This…

  • Miao has diaphragmatic hernia too

    It never rains, it pours. After Miao was placed in the oxygen chamber this morning, X-Rays were done which showed that Miao also has diaphragmatic hernia. The vet gave her Aminophylline to open up her airways. She did not draw blood as that would be stressful and if she struggles, it could be fatal with…

  • Nomi’s updates (Day 4)

    Encouraging news on Nomi from the vet today! Nomi’s breathing is better today. She is still in the oxygen chamber for lung repair. Today’s X-Ray shows she is slightly better. She is eating well and alert. Vet suggests she stays hospitalised until the lungs are clear. Only then it is safe enough to go home.…
