  • Please keep your animals indoors (animals are the victims)

    I’d like to share this story with all animal caregivers. It happened about a week ago. A caregiver of CNRM-ed dogs said a few of her neutered and ear-notched dogs were captured by the authorities one morning. Her friends SAW the workers capturing the dogs and putting them into their trucks. It was only after…

  • Please keep all your animals indoors

    We all know the earth belongs to all living beings, but some humans disagree.  And these humans enact laws that prohibit animals from living peacefully in the environment. Sadly, animal lovers are grossly outnumbered in this country. Therefore, please keep your animals indoors, as many as you can. We have received many reports that it…

    We tweaked the logo a wee bit…take a look! Can you see the new logo on this page? If you cannot, you might need to refresh the page a few times. In some cases, it may even take a few days. But we have already uploaded it. This new logo augurs well for our new…

  • New policy for claims: Compulsory ear-notching for all CNRM female dogs and cats

    We have said this many times over the years, but had not made it compulsory. Now, we have to. In the past, there had been cases where female dogs/cats were caught and taken to the vet by well-intentioned rescuers to be spayed only to be opened up and discovered that the female dog/cat had already…

  • Dishonest and rude applicants will not be tolerated

    I had LONG wanted to include this….long ago. I remember the time when one lady was SO incredibly and unbelievably rude, I really wanted to include the criteria of “politeness” as a basis for approving applications. Time and again, I’ve had to deal with rude, demanding and ungrateful applicants. Thank goodness it is not often…

  • A note from the AnimalCare Exco (republishing)

    This was published in July 2017 and we would like to republish it in view of our new policies in Dec 2018. It is now almost 10 years that AnimalCare has existed and we are heartened to see that we have helped to build a large community of caregivers of street animals who do neutering…

English version: Those who follow this blog would be aware of the many challenges we have been facing, particularly pertaining to the shortage of funds, scarcity of donations, difficulties in fundraising and the increasing number of applicants, the last of which, is something to rejoice over.…

  • No “agents”, please!

    This is a gentle reminder to all applicants that we cannot accept third party requests. This has always been in our policies. There are also those who act as proxies to other rescuers, taking on the role of an “agent”, offering to help these (normally non-literate) rescuers claim. This practice is not encouraged. There is…

  • Non-compliant applications

    This is the old broken tape-recorder speaking again, but it needs to be said. Recently, we received quite a number of non-compliant applications. (1) Late submissions, as late as 22 days. (2) Receipts issued in other names, not the applicant’s. (3) Applications without the vet’s signature and stamp. It is actually very sad that these…
