  • Juno’s poop – the magic happened at 11am!

    Still no poop this morning. I do know that animals on raw food will not have much faeces because there isn’t much residue left to be excreted. But still, I was getting a little worried. It’s been two days now and she is a tiny kitten. So I decided to try offering AD for breakfast.…

  • Doggy (aka Lizzie) news

    Doggy came to our gate this morning, several times. She also ate up the chicken but left the rice. Well, not wasted, because crows and other birds came to eat the rice and two birds even picked up a piece of meat. We are going to face some challenges tomorrow because our next-door neighbour will…

  • Gerald’s updates and the new bully on our road

    The vet updated this evening that Gerald’s temperature is 38.3 degrees (normal) without the aid of any anti-inflammatories the whole day. I guess that’s encouraging news. He is still refusing to eat on his own, but when food is placed into his mouth, he willingly swallows. I’ve noticed that every day too. Maybe the clinic…

  • Juno’s new toy and some confusion

    Jayden insisted on bringing a soft toy for Juno, so I found a tiny little puppy toy. She seems to like the toy too! Jayden was overjoyed. Juno has been a bit confused since this morning when I found that she had wet her cardboard bed. Yes, she urinated into her bed instead of the…

  • Jayden, Ginger and the Monsters!

    Jayden loves playing with Ginger, his best friend. Best friends will let you do anything!!

  • Juno’s lunch with Jayden

    Juno ate two helpings for lunch today! Jayden’s highlight of the day after returning from school! The second helping. Still no poop from Juno. Hopefully soon.

  • Gerald’s updates (fluctuating fever, slightly jaundiced, FIV+)

    It isn’t exactly good news. Gerald’s temperature was 39 degrees this morning, but when I arrived at the clinic, the assistants were doing his wound cleaning and his temperature had risen to 39.3 degrees. The wound cleaning was done without sedation, but Gerald is on painkillers. He was very brave. This is the shoulder wound.…

  • Doggy’s morning

    The leftover rice was eaten over the night, but not finished. Just as I went out to the porch to clean the bowls this morning, Doggy was right opposite our house, waiting. I quickly cleaned the bowls and put out a fresh bowl of chicken and rice. But by then, she had gone away. Creamy…

  • Juno’s three helpings of breakfast!

    Juno ate three helpings of breakfast today! The first round. The second round. And the third! She was hungry! Last night, I left some remnants of supper for her but that was untouched. Maybe she wants her food “fresh”. Juno tipped the scales at 420g this morning. That’s an increase of 20g, which is good.…

  • Juno’s supper

    I was going to wait until 9pm to feed Juno but she started mewing at around 8pm, so I went up with food. Hungry! Bonding time and for warmth too. The room is warm enough as I don’t keep the fan on. There is ventilation from the windows. Aww…portrait time! Juno’s weight remained at 400g…

  • Gerald’s temperature is down

    The vet updated this evening. Gerald’s temperature is finally down to 37.5 degrees now. But his glucose has gone up to 12.3. Could this be due to the stress from the wound cleaning? I hope so. A PBF has done this evening and Gerald’s WBC is still elevated. The vet would like to do another…

  • Neutering aid for 1 cat in Bukit Jalil, KL (Ahmad Kamal bin Kamarul Baharin’s)

    We have provided a full sponsorship of RM130 for the neutering of this female cat, Miao Miao. En Kamal is a new applicant. Welcome onboard, Sir. Our initial correspondence: We have just rescued 7 abandoned cats and kittens and we seek assistance in spaying/neutering them.  At the moment, of the 7, there are 3 adults…

  • Doggy’s evening meal

    I thought of naming the dog, but since the distant neighbour has decided to adopt her, I shall not confuse her with names. Doggy for now, perhaps? She was mooching around our house, so we placed the bowl of food right outside our small gate (open). However, she was very suspicious and only approached once…

  • Juno’s early dinner

    Juno’s feeding times today are roughly at 6.30am, 12.30pm, 4pm and 9pm. Yesterday, I fed her five times and she didn’t eat much each time as the meals were too frequent. Always in her cardboard box. So obedient! And she definitely knows how to use the litter box with paper towels too. So clever (compared…

  • Gerald’s wound cleaning

    This is the right shoulder wound. Initially the wound felt hard, but today, it’s fluidy, which means there is pus now which can be drained. The draining of the pus in progress. A sample of this pus will be sent for culture to determine exactly what types of bacteria is present. The vet is also…
