A Burmese Village Trick
16th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
I was e-talking to my spiritual teacher (in Taiping) the other day and the subject of their temple cat came up.He told me that some of their previous cats tend to run away after sometime. There is a residential housing area nearby so perhaps some of the cats went to live there.Then, he said the only cat left at the temple now seems to be very homeloving and is not inclined to run away. Apparently, one of the Burmese workers said back in Bu...

Meeting Alex And Ginger
16th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
Alex came to collect the cat-carrier from me this morning and by afternoon, she had managed to get the cat with mange (whom she now calls "Ginger") into the carrier. Ginger is a stray who lives on Alex's road. I met them at the vet's.The mange is pretty bad. But no worries, it should heal in 3-4 weeks. If you remember, Zhou Zhou's case was much worse off than this.Ginger kept wanting to go into the carrier.The face and ears are quite bad.All caked up in the ears.Ginger is...

Mimi And Manja's Updates
16th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
Last night had been quite hectic and tiring for CP and her family. It's their first time handling the post-op care for two spayed females, Mimi and Manja. Apparently, Mimi is quite an escape artist. Despite reinforcing and fastening the cage with wires, she managed to squeeze out of the cage twice and that really caused a panic in the house. Finally, CP had to put the whole carrier (with Mimi) inside the cage. Mimi licking her wounds.Manja sitting up already.Mi...

A Kitten-S.O.S At Midnight
16th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
Yesterday evening, I was in Klang to give a public talk. I do not have blackberries or internet facilities on my phone, so I have no access to emails whenever I am not in front of a computer. When I reached home at almost 11pm, I found three emails from a young lady named Jess. Jess was desperately in need of a fosterer for a kitten she had just rescued. Here's her first email:Dear Dr.Chan,Just now (around 5.30pm) my car broke down & I had to take taxi to the car shop...

AnimalCare Is NOT A Shelter
16th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
I received an email yesterday, from someone who asked if I could give her advice on setting up a dog shelter. Apparently, she had heard that AnimalCare is a shelter. I'd like to clarify here that AnimalCare has never been and is still not an animal shelter. I also do not foresee us becoming a shelter in the future. I suppose with so many new people coming into the scene of animal welfare work, it might do well for me to clarify this from time to time. I thought our mission s...

Tina's Cat, Spayed
16th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
I received a call yesterday from a Mrs Tan who asked for help to spay one female cat. Apparently, there is a Malay lady by the name of Tina (or Lina, I couldn't quite hear properly on the phone) who is a cat-feeder. Tina has been feeding stray cats for many years and lately, she had been unwell. Mrs Tan wanted to help Tina get this particular female cat spayed, but she herself (Mrs Tan) is also a cat caregiver and has been stretched to the limit with her own cases. Mrs Ta...

CP and her family did not have any prior experience in handling cats until....Mimi came into their lives. Mimi had given birth to a litter of 3 kittens in CP's house compound and thus started CP and her family's wonderful learning experience in looking after and caring for stray cats. Two weeks ago, CP brought the male cat, Didi, to be neutered at our panel vet under our sponsorship. CP's learning experience also included an S.O.S by another rescuer who needed help with two new...

My friend, Mary Yap, has been dropping in regularly these few weeks ever since our latest tshirts arrived. Mary is, by far, our No.1 tshirt-seller!
