  • A puppy rescue on a rainy day (a sharing from JoTong)

    JoTong rescued a puppy in the rain yesterday and the poor thing was lying beside his lifeless sibling. Here is the rescue story: JoTong has since taken the puppy to the vet for treatment. Serious skin problem….there are pus coming out from his back skin. I ask doctor to update me again on other issues…

  • A rescue in the rain (a Maltese)

    This Maltese was wandering in the rain on my road this afternoon, alerted by Lizzie’s owner. He’s a pet, so it was easy enough for me to pick him up. He also looked rather familiar to me. Then, I got a friend to post it in the neighbourhood chatgroup, hoping the owner would come and…

  • Fireworks scare, missing dog rescued!

    Yesterday, we met an owner who was desperately looking for his missing dog, a Saluki (a racing dog). According to the owner, Mr Tan, two of his dogs escaped during the previous night’s fireworks (Deepavali eve), one returned but the other, Layla, was still missing. I asked him for photographs and sent out an alert.…

  • Lizzie escapes…and comes back towards our house

    All was well until Mr P’s daughter called me to tell me that Lizzie had escaped by biting off the netting which covered a hole in their gate. I quickly informed the chief security guard and kind neighbours, and wasted no time in heading out to look for her. I feared that she might be…

  • Ops Lizzie – finally, jadi!!

    After feeding her for more almost two months now (first spotted on 3rd Sept 2024), we finally managed to secure Lizzie this morning. It wasn’t difficult, actually.  Maybe she’s tired of running and being homeless? She was following husband around the park, and then, came to our gate. Husband patted her and I brought out…

  • A magpie rescue at the park

    This morning, husband witnessed a cat pounce on a magpie at the park. I think the cat was most likely Charlie. Then, the magpie hopped as fast as she could while being pursued by the cat. One wing looked injured and had “dropped” down. When I reached the park, the magpie had already gone under…

  • Jayden sees Juno for the first time!

    Jayden came home from school and sees Juno! Jayden is really excited so I had to keep reminding him to be gentle. He was. Juno is also not afraid of Jayden at all. I fed Juno his lunch and Jayden wanted to sit on my other lap too. Jayden wanted to take Juno downstairs to…

  • Good morning, Juno!

    I woke up at 5.45am this morning so that I would have some time with Juno. True enough, it took me 50 minutes to coax her to eat! She must be female then; she’s eating like a Blondie. Definitely not like our Monsters! But the good news is that I was greeted with the litter…

  • Juno eats Cubgrub!

    I offered some AD to Juno just now. She only ate a little bit. Then, I added some water to dilute it and again, she wasn’t keen to eat it. Did not like AD. So I decided to try Cubgrub. I do know from experience that kittens will take to raw food naturally. Juno already…

  • Juno, a little kitten rescued from the middle of the road

    I was driving out to go to the vet’s to see Gerald this afternoon, at about 3pm. Shortly after leaving our house, I saw something flipping in the middle of the road. Oh dear…it was a small calico kitten, and it looked like she had just been in an accident. It looked bad and beyond…
