Click Here For Information On Adopting Nisa 31st Aug 2015, by Soi Dog Foundation
I am a 3-legged cat looking for my forever home. Please email deb@soidog.org to adopt me.
My name is Nisa; I am just over 1 year old and I am lucky to be alive. I was hit by a car and left in agony at the side of the road.
I was so lucky when the Soi Dog people found me. They rushed me back to the shelter to treat my wound. They did their best, but it was in such a bad way that they couldn't save my leg and they had to remove it.
I am no longer in pain and having 3 legs has not stopped ...

SOMEONE LIKE YOU SAVED MY LIFE. CAN YOU PLEASE SPONSOR ME?

Merdeka! Cats Day Out 31st Aug 2015, by AnimalCare
The inside cats get to come out daily (everyone, except Pole and Cleo, both of whom are not interested and are more than happy staying inside).
Normally, they take turns coming out so that the monitoring can be more controlled.
But today, being Merdeka Day, all five got to come out at once…
That’s Cow, Bunny and Indy.
And Tiger.
“Add me, add me!!” says Tabs
Happiness is rubbing on a shoe.
Bunny ALWAYS sneaks out of the gate.
He’ll approach the gate ging...

Day 1: My brother had been out jogging, and found it on the sidewalk. It was actually still attached to part of its shell and some dried membranes.

There is a myth tha...

A BAD START IN LIFE FOR LITTLE WILAIWAN
I never even had a chance. I am just a little girl, born on the streets, having never known a loving touch or a place to call home. I am only 4 months old and my name is Wilaiwan.
I had to learn quickly how to look after myself and I guess I am still learning. I was running around a busy road when I was hit by the car. I never knew something could hurt so badly. I am so tiny and the car was so big that I am lucky to be alive.
A kind person who saw what ...

BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH FOR ME
I have been through horrendous trauma after a speeding car very nearly killed me. My name is Judy Greer and I am 4 years old. Like so many others, I have lived on the streets my whole life.
When that car ploughed into me, I will never forget the terror. My screams echoed down the highway as I was flung to the side of the road. The lower half of my tummy was opened up by the impact. The wound was so deep that my muscles were exposed. I lay there, ...
