Meet Ren

Ren was an abandoned kitten my cousin found 6 months ago, when she was just a month old. My cousin heard meowing and finally saw her near the lift. This was a strange place to find a kitten and so she went around looking for the guardian to no avail. So she brought her to me and when she came all she did was sleep in Ms Akira's cage. At dinner, she ate a whole can and went back to sleep. I then called a boarder to ask if she would board Ren and so she has been living there for a while now.

The boarder reported that Ren is a sweetheart and gives small kitten kisses. She likes  laps and now has many friends amongst the kittens boarding there. The boarder loves her but as she already has many cats and as most of them are senior cats, Ren could not live with her at all.

Ren is now 5 months and is already sterilised and free of FIV and Felv. She is active and loves boxes and is the best friend of Haidar, a special needs kitty. I am pleased to report that last night, the boarder asked me if Ren can stay with her husband's family whose 16 year old cat died of natural causes. Please keep your fingers crossed that Ren would have a new home next month.

Jet is a star

This is our newest 'relocated' kitty. He appeared 2 weeks ago and is now at Rezki's old carpark. He has only 3 legs. His left back leg had been amputated. I don't know why he was abandoned here and we could not find his caregiver. 

We named him Jet as it was easier to say than 'the 3-legged cat in the carpark' as he is more than that. He is still uncertain and frightened of us but he knows to come out at the ring of keys and the sound of 'kitykittykitty.'  

We already have a place to board him - at Joanna's where I used to board Rezki before. He already has 2 families willing to adopt him even without seeing him. They only know he has 3 legs and abandoned.

We should be able to catch him some time next week as he seems much more comfortable with us and once that is done, it's to the vet for vax and FIV/Felv tests. We hope and pray that it would be negative as both families have other cats. 

Please pray for Jetstar. 

Adopt Me Please

Cat_aunty rescued this kitty on polling day. She is alert and as of today, safe from any other hazard. She will be neutred and vaccinated but cat_aunty cannot adopt her as Empress Spencer would be very upset and there are all the other community kitties that come and go from the safe-house :)

It seemed Uncle saw a man pet her and driving off. We suspect that the man had abandoned this very pretty girl on polling day no less! So anyone who knows of anyone who can adopt such a pretty girl, please send word around. Cat_aunty says she is not very savvy and would not be able to cope with living the community cat life. Thanks.

Cat 1

Cat 2

Cat 3

This evening when I was taking Bujang for his walk, I met someone I knew from work. It happened that this girl actually lives with these 3 cats and her family actually has 8 cats in the flat. I met her mother who said that her husband wanted to put the adult cats near the market!!! I had tried to talk the lady out of it and since my Mother Tongue is not what it should be, I was very glad to meet the daughter.

I told the daughter that I may be bale to help with getting the cats sterilised but she has to tell her father that abandoning cats anywhere is a very bad idea. He will be fined $10 000 and get 12 months jail. She was very shocked to hear this. I also said that her family should not release their cats in the wildbunch area as I do not want them to be endangered by such a thoughtless action.

I told her to advise her family to keep their cats or get the young kittens adopted. She realised that people like kittens more than adult cats. She told me her male cats are noisy at mating time! Aiyoh!! I told her that once her cats are sterilised, no one will be noisy and they would live rather peacefully. Anyway I said she should talk to me as soon as she has made some decisions about sterilisation. I further reminded that if her father did abandon the cats, her cats may get killed by abusers or maimed or cut up or just killed by vehicles.

I know this may seem very cruel to say to a teenager but it is best that she knows the truth of the matter. I hope the family makes the right decision.

Little Rama

Rama trying out his new living quarters...

Resting after some rumbunctious play...

Zzzzzz....

On Deepavalli, I came home from visting and my cousin came back from feeding the Wild Bunch. We met at the void deck and I saw she had a little kitten with her!!!! He was extremely clean and well-groomed and as I held him she told me the tale of Little Rama.

She was feeding Cal when 3 malay kids came to her. One of them said "Eh, not right." She thinks they were looking for me. But this did not deter them and they told my cousin that they found the kitty somewhere and took pity on him. When she asked them to bring the litten home , one of the boys said ' Eh ..mak saya takut kucing." (My mother is afraid of cats). Then they RAN off!!

As she thought the kitty would surely get hurt near the carpark, she brought the kitten to my building and so we met at the void deck. Since we couldn't possibly leave the kitten there, Little Rama is now with me. We have been trying to call people to see if there is someone who would adopt him but it is still too soon to know.

Grandma was not pleased that night and it was only a little later that she felt it was very cruel to leave the kitten at the void deck, She has been trying to think of a name to give him - Tanaka, Boy and various other names. But I told her that since the kitten came to us on Deepavalli, we will just call him Rama as I am sure he would need every ounce of courage to tangle with Ms Akira and his uncertain future.

My cousin and grandma didn't believe the sob story that the boy told. I think they may have every reason to be suspect as the kitten is very sociable, knows how to play with cat toys and uses the bin. Added to this, he is very clean. So now we think Rama is a victim of abandonment! If I see the kids I am going to give them a piece of my mind and tell them about the penalties for abandoning and endangering animals.
