Keeping The Mischievous One Out Of Mischief (Diva News)
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
After the afternoon episode where I was more freaked out than she, Diva was frontlined and caged. I needed the break!
She had her evening meal just now (ate most heartily) and jumped down to go explore around the piano this time. Uh-uh, nope, you’re not going under the piano because it takes EIGHT able-bodied men to lift the piano.
So I brought her into the room with me.
Tabs wasn’t friendly at all. She hissed and chased Diva and the poor thing ran and hide behind the waste paper bas...

If you are interested in adopting this cat, kindly contact Fenton Yong at fenton.yong@gmail.com:
Hi Dr Chan,
A friend of mine is actually seeking some help to find a permanent home for a male that that she is looking after now. This cat (no name was given and it is estimated that he is around six months old) was actually found lingering around the place where my friend works and it was believed that someone has dumped him there while he was still a kitten. Initially it was my friend’s col...

Subsidy For Last-Ditch Efforts To Save The Poor Dog (Shirley Wong’s)
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/02/13/dog-in-cr itical-condition-passes-away-shirley-wongs/
When Shirley Wong called me for help on 4th Feb, I had already offered our medical subsidy.
Nothing was done until 12th Feb when the dog was already in a severely critical condition.
She asked if we would still subsidise if she sent the dog for treatment and for the sake of the poor dog, I said yes.
It was too late to save the dog. He died that night itself.
As promised, we will subsidise and have bank...

Adorable But Oh-So-Naughty Little Diva
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
I just spent the last 1 hour trying to “extricate” Diva from her hiding place…
I came home from work and saw Diva had made those precious “rocks” (glorious poo!) we had been waiting for – well-formed and good looking ones, too. So, that’s a relief…at least we now know she can pee and poo on her own. There was pee in the litter box as well. More than that, she had also kicked sand out of her box onto the floor and overturned her water bowl.
She see...

Animal Rescue: Puppy Under A Pavement
28th Feb 2012, by SPCA Singapore
This little guy was found by community caregivers yelping in distress in the middle of the night. He was stuck under a pavement, hungry and his mother was nowhere to be found. With the help of the caregivers, our Animal Rescue Officer dug an opening through the ground to the puppy and was able to free him. The puppy was taken back to SPCA and is now safely in a foster home.

Good Morning, Diva!
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
I was awaken this morning by loud mewing from downstairs.
It was Diva, of course.
Last night, she had already learnt how to squeeze out from the edge of the cage door (many kittens soon discover this), so I tied a yellow ribbon to secure the door to the bars of the cage and that took care of that.
Diva was quite unhappy about being caged. She wanted to walk about the dining and living room. So, I let her walk around until almost 1.30am.
This morning, she ate on her own, from only from my hand ag...

Busa, Puspa And Billie (be Inspired!!)
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
My friend, Lydia, called me up about two weeks ago. She was clearly very excited to share a most wonderful story. Dr Susanna had referred a first-time rescuer, by the name of Billie Eez, to Lydia because Billie had picked up an injured cat from his alley, and sought Dr Susanna’s help. Dr S is now treating the cat, name Busa, but at the same time, advised Billie to consult Lydia on the possibility of physiotherapy help.
Billie is a Chinese man who runs a very small and modest pizza joint so...

More News From Across The Ocean (HSUS’ On The Oscars)
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
From the Humane Society of the U.S.:
If you watched the Oscars last night, you might have seen it: A phony “consumer alert” ad attacking The Humane Society of the United States.
Your HSUS is under attack by a shadowy front group called HumaneWatch, which placed that ad. Led by a notorious D.C. lobbyist nicknamed “Dr. Evil,” the group is funded by the restaurant and food industries, among others. Their goal? To stop you and me from fighting against animal cruelty in all it...

News From Across The Ocean (PETA’s On Caboodle Ranch)
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
From PETA:
Imagine that your family has packed you up and shipped you across the country to a total stranger. You are surrounded by others who are also stressed, terrified, and confused. The stench is overwhelming, and disease is rampant. You cannot get away from the insects—they swarm around you, cover your eyes, and fly into your nose. There are maggots and roaches in the food. When you fall ill, a stranger forcefully grabs you and scrubs your face with a Clorox wipe, burning your eyes. You ...

A Precious Rock?
28th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
Yes, even diamonds come from rocks and before they are harvested and polished, it isn’t much to look at. Why, we might even pass it off as another stone by the roadside!
Take a look at this…
What IS that?
Well, for tonight, it is something more precious than diamonds…
It’s Diva’s pee clump!!
YES, Diva pee-ed on her own in the litter-box! And a mighty big one at that, too.
She is out for a walkabout now….mewing loudly.
The next “precious rock” will...

Hi there,
Firstly, a big thank you for putting up the pictures on your site. All the kittens have been adopted. I will next proceed to have the mother neutered (wonder if you can help me out in this?).
As for little ‘Alien’, we have seen 4 different vets to date. And yet none are able to give an accurate diagnostic of her condition. Notice I call it a ‘her’ now, as the...

How Did Diva Get Onto The Road Divider In OKR?
27th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
Mary and I were wondering all evening…
Not that it is of any use to speculate, but here are some possibilities:
1. Diva broke away from her litter, walked across three lanes at midnight (without getting knocked down – a bit far-fetched, I know) and landed at the divider but could not climb up. That stopped her and hence, she clung onto it until spotted by Mary.
2. Someone drove her there and she fell out of the car window?
3. Someone drove her there to be dumped (I know, that’s...

I’m Playing Host To A DIVA
27th Feb 2012, by AnimalCare
Who???
Mariah Carey? J-Lo? Sarah Brightman?
Er…no, not that kind of a DIVA.
Here….this one. Read on, please….
Mary Yap texted me this morning about a most unusual and almost miraculous rescue. She was driving along the Old Klang Road (and it’s three-laned) and was caught in the traffic jam. Traffic was crawling, as usual.
Luckily it was, because Mary noticed “something” clinging onto the road divider.
Initially, Mary thought, “Oh no, another dead cat, ...
