From Koo:

Mr G Has Breakfast As Well! 3rd Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
In the past few days, Mr G has been coming for breakfast as well…
He’ll call for me at the kitchen window.
Then, he waits at the Stargate, still calling.
My brood goes out to meet him, of course.
And he gets his food.
But it is not enough, he says.
Well, I cannot feed you too much, Mr G, because you have a home and I don’t really know what diet you are on. I should not overfeed you.
He eats whatever he is given, Go! kibble, Natural Balance and home-cooked. All...

Alternative Dwelling Places To The Washing Machine 2nd Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Bunny was still upset today as we had closed the cover of the washing machine, making it out of bounds for him.
I came back from work and found him here…
At Apartment 2A.
The basket is too small, but he loves it. And he prefers this to all the other baskets. By the way, it is a Daiso basket.
Later in the afternoon, he was here.
This is code-named the “Leopard Pose”.
Criteria to qualify: At least one limb must be dangling out.
And by evening, he had changed to ano...

Introducing A New Cat To The Resident Cat (from Ng Chen Chen) 2nd Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Useful information from Ng Chen Chen:
I stumbled upon a YouTube video that tells the story of how a new kitten and an older cat who is already established in a household learn to become fast friends. I think this video would be able to teach us a lot about cats communication. Many adopters are hesitant or return a cat when their cat react violently towards the newcomer because humans don’t understand cat behaviour. Well, this video does a good job in showing that cats need some time to kn...

Polly, Dog For Adoption (Lisa Lui’s) 2nd Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
From:
Lisa Lui
lisa.py.lui@gmail.com
Message:
Hello Dr Kah Yein,
I have been following your blog but this is the first time I’ve
written anything. I am writing because I have a dog that needs to be
rehomed, but she needs a special home.
Polly was found on the streets mid last year and we took her in.
Unfortunately it seems that she might have been abused or treated
badly as she is very, very shy and timid. She is startled by loud
noises, sudden movements and crowds of people. I would love ...

Tips On Looking After Rescued Birds (from Joey Quah) 2nd Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
Useful tips from Joey Quah (joeyquah@gmail.com) below. She has also offered her help should anyone encounter rescued birds.
If anyone do find a baby bird, dont be afraid to keep it warm. Use as small a container as possible. For quick emergency container, use a 1.5l mineral bottle. Cut the bottle about 3″ from the bottom. Line the bottom with lots of tissue paper or cotton hanky/towel. Cut off the top part of the mineral bottle (3″) and use it as a cover. Poke a few small holes to ac...

Tinsel, Cat For Adoption (Terry Saw’s) 2nd Apr 2012, by AnimalCare
From Terry (terencesaw@gmail.com):
This is Tinsel. He’s about 3 years old, male orange cat with a slight
crook in his tail. He’s neutered but may need to go for vaccination.
Tinsel’s story is unique. He first came to me after a rescuer picked
him off the streets and asked me to foster him. During this time, he
made friends with my dog.
A couple first adopted him, but after a week they returned him
because the wife was allergic to cats.
A couple eventually adopted him and he gre...

Did anyone lose a young golden retriever last weekend? Someone has found one so please call the shelter at 082-618 200 or message Richard Lim for more details. Please do not ask to adopt it if it's not yours because the finder would like to keep it if the owner cannot be located.
