  • AnimalCare is also an educational platform

    I met an dear old friend this afternoon. In fact, she and another friend were the pioneers who started AnimalCare with me. We have remained friends all these years and both of them are also animal rescuers in their own right. She mentioned something very interesting and I thought I should clarify this in a…

  • What is the 3:3:3:1 ratio in helping sick animals?

    I was doing a big overhaul and re-categorising of our blogposts for the past few days. Due to the upgrade of WordPress and an inevitable change of theme for this blog, many past blogposts were somehow wrongly categorised. I’m talking about over 6000 posts! Well, I’m an OCD stickler for order when it comes to…

  • No oatmeal poop from Indy…so far!

    There was no oatmeal poop this morning at Indy’s poo spot!! Yay! But it’s too soon to celebrate as we still have to wait for his poop today and for the next few days or even weeks before we know if the problem is resolved. And even then, it might still come back at a…

  • Indy’s oatmeal poop came back….sigh

    Ever since Indy’s finished his Promax, the consistency of his stools gradually went back to being soft at first, then as of this morning, it was back to the oatmeal poop again. Sigh… Promax worked…initially and from the oatmeal texture, it became formed stools, just soft. But it deteriorated after he finished his Promax, at…

  • Gerald in Jayden’s stroller!

    This is really so cute! Gerald has been sleeping in Jayden’s stroller since this morning and he loves it! Comfy, comfy!!

  • Jayden’s utopia for his toy animals

    Jayden loves animals and toy animals. He particularly loves BIG animals like elephants, hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses, giraffes, lions, tigers and lately, dinosaurs of various kinds. He likes ’em BIG! But we can learn a lot from how he plays with them. Look… Little animals are all riding on the big animals. They are all friends in…

  • Indy and Cleo’s chronic kidney disease supplements and reflections about mortality

    Indy is on daily 225ml subcut, Cleo is on daily 175-200ml subcut and both are on Renal-N and Astro’s Oil’s fish oil and nitrogen-creatinine scrub. I started the Astro’s package on 19th September 2023, the moment I received the stock. So it’s coming to almost a month now. But from the blood test readings, I…

  • The Blondies’ portraits!

    Caught them altogether again! Now let’s see, we have had several feline families living with us. Cow Mau, Bunny, Pole, Cleo – they weren’t physically close. In fact, they imposed a 1 metre-radius physical distancing from each other, or a fight might break out! But Cow looked after his siblings and Cleo too. Actually, Cow…

  • Happy Meatless Tuesday from Jayden!

    The first thing that Jayden does every morning when he arrives at our house is… …to cut his toy fruits and vegetables! Jayden can already say the following words: Apple Strobri (strawberry) Rain (orange) Brinjol (bringjal) Nana (banana) Shroom (mushroom) Corn Chil (chilli) Bitgod (bittergourd) Onion Prape (grapes) And….chee cheong pun (chee cheong fun)!! A…

  • Gerald’s mild gastro issue and the lifesaving food-remedies

    Gerald has been having some mild gastro issues lately. For a few days, he did not feel like eating his usual Coco&Joe raw food. Whenever this happens, I think it must be due to some nausea where the cat might have vomited and is now associating that unpleasant feeling with the smell of the food…

  • The Blondies’ family portrait

    Here’s some rare shots, taken last night! All four of them!! They were all huddled up because of the rain.

  • Jayden and Kai

    Kai has been coming out to the Safehouse to play every day now, watched over by big sister Riley. Today, Kai has another friend…. …it’s Jayden! Can you spot Kai at the back? Jayden is thrilled to play with Kai. But nowadays, Jayden gets too loud and too rough at times, so the moment I…

  • Happy Meatless Monday!

    No, I did not grow young suddenly…haha. This is an old photo taken at our old house many, many years ago. That’s Indy and Cleo eating on the kitchen counter. Now, this, below, is for today’s meals….in the making! A vegetable soup. And lots of leafy greens for calcium! Happy Meatless Monday, folks! Save the…

  • Indy’s nice poop

    The poop texture is getting better (firmer) every day! We finished the Promax today. It was just a half-dose left, anyway. So I am continuing with Bioflor since the faeces is still a bit soft. But this is already a huge improvement from the “oatmeal” poop earlier on. Hopefully, Indy continues to improve, or rather,…

  • Kai, again?

    Yes, it’s a daily activity for Kai. Staring at faeces in the sandpit, staring at the drain hole and waiting… And today, voila! The staring has paid off. Kai found a cockroach and its baby!! But I had to flush them down the drain hole before she attacks them or worse, eats them.
