Gluey: Unstuck and Saved

Gluey went through a very traumatic experience to get his name. His rescuers are the longest serving volunteers from Noah’s Ark. These days, on the weekends when they visit Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Sanctuary, they take the drive out to look for unsterilised and injured cats so they can be treated before being returned to where they were caught.

One day, as they were going about their usual round of trapping stray cats, they discovered Gluey near a drain. He just looked dirty from far and they didn’t even realise he was covered in glue. It was curiosity more than a realisation that he was a cat. All they actually saw was something black, that had bits of plastic and was moving!

They called out to it but it backed away. Still curious, they decided to use food to entice it neared to them. They would leave a trail of can food on the floor that would eventually lead them to the carrier set there by the rescuers. It was only when it got nearer that they realised it was a black cat!

Gluey covered in sticky rat trap glue

Probably being traumatised by his experience, that little black cat was extremely cautious. He ate whatever that was far from the carrier but refused to eat the food placed near the carrier. They knew that he was extremely hungry as he kept meowing for more food. So they just kept adding more food, bit by bit, to gain his trust. Eventually, his hunger overcame his fear and he walked into the carrier.

At that point, the rescuers still didn’t know his body was full of glue. They only found out when they took him out from the carrier at the Sanctuary. It then dawned upon everyone that Gluey had probably been caught in a glue trap for rats! Because he was so much bigger than a rat, he had managed to free himself. But as he ran around as a stray, plastic and other stuff stuck themselves to him!

I am unstuck and saved!

It took a lot of work, but a month later, Raymund managed to remove all the glue from him and he turned out to be a really beautiful kitten with a rather unique cute round face. Come visit Gluey. You can’t miss that face. Despite his ordeal, he is a friendly and affectionate cat.

Food donation drive - November

Dear Friends and Supporters of Noah's Ark,

Christmas is almost here and we're happy to announce that Noah's Ark CARES has partnered Pets' Station once again for yet another food donation drive. The event kicks off today, 1 Nov and ends on 30 November 2011. We are extremely thankful and privileged for their continuous support.

As we begin to make out our list of gifts for our family and loved ones, we hope the animals will be part of your list too. The animals do not ask for much, a hearty meal is enough to bring smiles across their faces.

Food is extremely important to the animals and it runs out faster than you can imagine. With 800 dogs, 400 cats, 5 horses, a hutch of rabbits and 2 monkeys … you can imagine the quantity of food needed each day to maintain a quality life for the animals.

For this drive, Pets' Station will be offering a total of 9 items that supporters can choose to purchase during this period. They are:

• Pyramid Hill Lamb 400g


• Pyramid Hill Chicken 400g


• Sportmix Dog Hi-Pro 20KG


• Sportmix Dog Adult 20KG


• Sportmix Gourmet Cat Food 15kg


• Friskies Ocean Fish 400g


• Friskies Mackerel 400g


• Friskies Sar/Squid 400g


• Friskies Seafood Platter 400g

For every item purchased, Pets' Station will be donating the same item to Noah's Ark, one-for-one. More details can be found at their website at http://www.petsstation.com.sg/.

To make your food donation, there are 2 ways you can do it.

1. To do it online, please go to http://www.petsstation.com.sg/ to view the items available and select the food you want to donate accordingly.

2. You can also go to any of their nine outlets which are located at Causeway Point, Compass Point, Frankel Avenue, Holland Village, Jurong West, Tampines Central 1, Tiong Bahru, Serangoon Gardens and Serangoon North Ave.

The donated food will be stored at Pets Stations' warehouse and our volunteers will arrange to collect the food items and bring them to Noah's Ark.

What we need to feed 1,000 animals at the animal sanctuary:

Dog Dry Food - 17 bags a day or 306kg a day
Dog Tin Food - 1 carton a day or 700gm x 24 cans = 16.8kg
Cat Dry Food - 1 bag a day or 23kg a day
Cat Tin Food - 10 cans a day or 400gm x 10 cans = 4kg
Cat Litter - S$1,200/- a month

This donation food drive is held only during this month. Do tell your friends about and help feed our animals. On behalf of the animals, we appreciate your continuing support and generosity!!
