Cats who teach me to fly…

Everyday I will set some time aside to sign anti animals cruelty petitions from all around the world without fail. I sign at least 20 petition a day. On certain days, it even reaches to 40… I don’t know if these petitions help but I am not giving up hope. In no matter what way, I must be the voice for the animals.
It is always heart breaking to see cats, dogs, donkeys, pigs and almost all, yes, almost all animals being tortured cruelly by humans for greed. Yes, greed!
The animals feel like we do. I don’t believe ones can go scot free after inflicting pain on another sentient being. Otherwise, Buddhas and Jesus would not have spent their life preaching…
I hope I can do more to help the animals but how? All I can only do is the hide under my comfort zone to sign all petitions and waiting for miracles to happen. What a cowardice act I see myself!
I intend to write to the China  embassy here in Singapore. I am hoping that the cats and dogs meat trade in China could stop immediately. My email may be ignored but I must try, try and try. I think by emailing is not enough. I will send  the letter by post too. I MUST Do something for the animals. I MUST and I WILL!

Patrice was found at a multistorey car park and under the wheel of a BMW car. It was the exact lot where I feed one of the community cats. It was also my first time to rescue a cat immediately from such an unsafe place. I brought her home straight away. What other option do I have?

I kept her quarantined for two weeks. She was vaccinated and dewormed two days ago. I am supposed to bring her to the adoption drive tomorrow. However, a sincere adopter was interested in her. She agreed to all CWS terms, therefore, we felt that she is a suitable adopter.

This afternoon we brought Patrice to the adopter’s house with a heavy heart once again… Patrice is not sterilized yet and we have told her adopter that we will do a house visit again two weeks later after she had Patrice sterilized. Our intention is to stop unnecessary breeding and save more lives.
Once again, when I got back home, I miss Patrice’s presence…
I give all my blessings to Little Patrice and her owner and family.
I look forward to see Patrice again…

Bally is estimated to be two weeks old. When I picked her at Far East Flora, Thomson, she was only a few days old. Her eyes were closed then.
I was marketing for fresh flowers when I heard loud meowing sound coming from nowhere. Immediately I recognized that it was a kitten. I stopped what I was doing at that time and followed the sound of the kitten.
She was left alone in a big empty carton box without her mother and siblings. She was so tiny.. I rushed to the cashier counter and checked with the staff if they had any idea about the kitten.
I was told that the kitten had fell from the roof top and her sibling was bitten to death by her mother. Well, I don’t really believe it. I would prefer to keep an open mind.
I looked around for her mother and obviously she was nowhere to be found.
The shop was closing soon and I can’t leave the kitten alone. She was so small and could have died if her mother did not come back for her.
Without hesitation, I brought her with me and we named her Bally.

Bally needs to be bottle fed. Penny, one of the rescuer taught me how to bottle feed her. How to stimulate her to pee and poop. I have learnt so much on how to nurse a newborn kitten.
Bally is getting stronger each and everyday.

I am going to watch her grow. She is a tabby. Miemi was a tabby white too. So do Cashie, Monnie, Shunshun and Sunshine. I love tabbies…

I started to feed Carl about a month ago at Whampoa market. It all started when I noticed him begging for food at the coffee shop. He looked so pathetic and everyone seemed to ignore him. I can’t bear to look at him this way. I rushed back to my vehicle immediately to prepare dry and wet food for him.
I lured him away from the coffee shop where he begged for food and placed the food in a quiet corner for him to eat. However, I knew the place where I left his food was not his territory. And I spent a few days looking for his territory and finally I found his ‘sister’ and a bowl of water and I believe they have a feeder. He definitely has a feeder but why was he begging for food everyday?
Three days ago, I saw Carl limping. He wasn’t looking that serious at that time until two days ago. Mel and I sent him to the vet yesterday.
Carl had two x-ray on his right paw and a blood test. Good thing was his bone was not fractured but only swollen. His drooling is due to gingivitis. He was given two injections. One pain killer and another anti inflammatory. Vet prescribed medicine to be given to him once a day in order to fit my schedule.
This evening we went high and low to find Carl. We found him. I gave him his medicine and lysine. I mixed it in his wet food and he finished all. He is better today. He managed to touch his limping paw on the ground, still limping though but better.

This is Carl. Just finished his meal:).
I am happy to see him everyday and will feed him everyday. Just hoping that he will stop begging for food. Cos it hurts me watching any cats begging for food…

Mel and I were at Mr Lee’s memorial event at Yishun in the evening. The waiting time to pay respect to Mr Lee at the parliament house was too long for me. Whether to pay respect at the parliament house or at the memorial event around Singapore, it will be the same.

There were many people. We had to queue in order to offer my flowers of appreciation to Mr Lee.

I did this arrangement at the wee hours last night. It says ‘THANK U”. I also attached a card on it.
I was so worried that the arrangement might not reach Mr Lee as the queue at the parliament house was way too long and I cannot afford the time. Luckily, there is a memorial event nearby where I can pay my respect to Mr Lee, as well as to send my flowers of appreciation.

It has been five days since the day he left. I am getting better. I might feel sad again after his cremation. Knowing that we have lost someone that we had been taking for granted for so long… Our future from now on would be without Mr Lee… How weird it is!
