  • Please pray for Shy, cat suspected of having FIP (Jeannette Leong’s)

    Jeannette wrote to me last week when a cat she rescued was suspected to have FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feline_infectious_peritonitis From Jeannette: Dear Kah Yein, I found a female cat about 3 years old having breathing problems. Sent it to the vet and suspects it to have FIP. X ray was done and confirmed fluid…

  • The rescuers (and hoarders) defend themselves

    There certainly has been an influx of applicants asking for help recently and I’m actually caught in a rather difficult situation of whether “to help or not to help”. So, help me out, please. I’d like your opinion on the following cases. I’m running a poll here, and would appreciate your answers YES/NO to the…

  • Updates on Blackey, sporo-cat in Kedah (Sha’s)

    Updates from Sha: Sad news, the sporo comes back..the wound opens up and begins to bleed soon after I take her back. The vet asked me to bring her back to the clinic in 2 weeks time (interval time without medication). And the treatment and boarding at the clinic will continue like before. I have been fostering many…

  • Woman who won’t let pig be barbecued (happy ending)

    Read all about it! Source: http://www.care2.com/causes/woman-wont-let-pig-be-barbecued.html Written by Laura Guttridge of Florida I received an early morning call from an animal welfare group that needed someone to rescue a 4H pig named Dragon, who was about to be auctioned off for slaughter. Apparently, this pig was a 4H project for a group of mentally challenged students, that had…

  • Baby alligator/crocodile relocated to the zoo (Nandhini’s)

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/01/24/baby-alligator-found-in-small-aquarium-at-restaurant/ If you remember, Nandhini reported this to the Dept of Wildlife, but apparently, nothing could be done. Undeterred, Nandhini went to the press, and as of last week, the baby alligator/crocodile has been taken to a zoo. Perhaps having been taken away or bred in captivity, the baby alligator cannot survive in the wild…

  • Fun in the sun…with Mr Gorilla?

    Ever since we netted our gate to prevent Bobby from accidentally slipping out when he goes for his daily walks in the garden, Mr Gorilla had stopped visiting our garden. It was a little sad, though, ‘coz the old guy is a harmless chap who just wanted to make friends with our cats (and in…

  • Food subsidy for Kelly and Jacinta’s dog sanctuaries in Ipoh and Tanjong Rambutan

    In July 2011, I highlighted the plight of Kelly Tan Juat Jong and Jacinta Victorine Emmanuel’s two dog sanctuaries in Ipoh and Tanjong Rambutan. These two ladies manage more than 100 dogs in their two shelters. Jacinta still works for a living, but Kelly does not. Kelly has also sold her house in order to…

  • A bed of thorns, Part 3

    Ref: http://animalcare.my/2012/02/28/a-bed-of-thorns/ You may wondering if there is any progress on the hoarder’s application to us for food subsidy. Yes, actually, there is. Here’s what has happened in the past week. Since this hoarder is not dwelling in Selangor, I needed some help to find out what she does and what is going on. I found…

  • Academic research on hoarders

    Here’s some very useful information on hoarders, from one of our readers: Dear Dr. Chan, I appreciate that you feel strongly about the Hoarders that you encountered. I feel particularly saddened that they are animal hoarders that exist among our community and sadder still for animals involved. So far, I had not personally encountered animal…

  • Litter matters

    After about two weeks of testing out three brands of cat litter, I’ve decided to use a mixture of Ever Clean and Breeders Celect (paper litter). Cat’s Pride was good for odour control, but it has too much dust and was not cost-effective for me because I’d end up scooping a lot of good un-used…

  • Little Kumquat is now in Rainbow Bridge

    Little Kumquat was a tiny kitten picked up by my schoolmate, Sharon. Sharon had never handled such a tiny animal before, but she learnt. We communicated, she learnt a lot from the internet, Kumquat was brought to the vet for check-ups, and her two sons helped as well. Kumquat was doing really well. See this: http://animalcare.my/2012/02/15/kumquat-the-kitty-from-a-first-time-rescuer-sharon-anne/…
