TNR of the Construction Site Cats

[https://www.facebook.com/noahsarkcares/posts/1298698973528596]

We put up a blog story previously about these construction site cats which we helped to sterilize late last year. You can read more about them at http://noahsarkcares.blogspot.sg/2016/01/sterilisation-is-key-to-reduce-self.html. Any bit of contribution helps in offsetting their sterilization/medical bills. Please email us at noahsarkcares@gmail.com, thank you!

==========================================

From BFF (an individual rescue group) Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1146511788743242&id=853723634688727):

A few months ago, a feeder was approached by some construction workers, who were seeking help in obtaining cat food as they were unable to afford the food anymore.

Upon investigation, the feeder discovered that there are around 100 strays cats that the workers are currently taking care of. These workers have been using their own pocket money to purchase rice and other food that they can afford to. Sometimes, the workers are only able to afford cheap fishes that they will cook, and then mix with rice for the cats.

After hearing about the workers' plight, we immediately informed a few friends from other shelters for help. We are deeply grateful to the kind people from Animal Lovers League (ALL) and Lily Low shelter, who provided immediate help by providing cat food, even until now. 

We are also very grateful to Noah's Ark Cares for spending large sums of money to provide medical care to the sick and injured cats, as well as helping to sterilize them. Some sick kittens were given medical care and were subsequently rehomed.

If you like to contribute and help the cats, please donate to Animal Lovers League - ALL Authorized Page, Lily Low Shelter or Noah's Ark CARES. Alternatively, you may send us a PM.

If you wish to contribute cat food, please contact and order directly from Jane of Loving Pets at 63461286 (open from 1-6pm and closed on Mondays). Please mention to Jane that your orders are for the construction cats so that she can advise you on what to order.

All donations made via BFF will be updated on this post. Thank you!

Life as a Prince

This is Prince... a mature wired-hair JRT dozing off on his throne with his favourite porcupine soft toy.  He moved into his new home in June this year.  

If you had met him, you would not have known of a badly neglected life he's lived before he was rehomed to a wonderful family.

In August 2012, Prince thought a visit to the clinic was simply a check by the vet. Little did he know he was sent to be put to sleep! He's a bubbly and perhaps the sweetest JRT one has ever met.

To his ex owner, Prince was an old dog, with terribly bad skin problems and a huge lump on the outside of his right hindleg. Amazingly, despite all these, Prince did not once show any sign of aggressive behavior at the clinic.  Perhaps he knew he was going to be saved eventually?  Dr Alice Liaw, one of Noah's Ark volunteer vet contacted us to discuss a rescue plan for Prince.  The most immediate concern was to look for a fosterer/boarding place for Prince; in order for the lump on his leg to be removed; his skin condition to be treated, and to be neutered.

We later found out that Prince was always kept in the backyard of his previous home.  His condition was a clear sign of pure neglect. The most disheartening thing was that Prince was not sent to the clinic to be treated for his condition, but to end his life - human's easiest way to end a problem!  Once the decision was made to save this little life, Dr Alice worked closely with our volunteer to arrange for Prince's operation and treatment. Prince was such an active boy that the stitches on his operated wound came off twice, but that never held him back from running around and playing with his buddies at the boarding place.  Prince made many friends at the boarding place and he also attracted the attention of other human friends who would bring him treats each time they visited him.

Prince had a few potential adopters, unfortunately, he was judged by his skin condition. All were not prepared to spend the time and money to treat it, except for one wonderful couple. The couple agreed to adopt Prince after the first meeting in March this year! They saw beyond Prince's physical condition, they simply adored Prince!

  

This what Prince’s owner had to say about him "Prince came home with us just yesterday and he seems to be adjusting pretty good. He's walking by us and responding well to verbal consequences.  A little tap on the nose is necessary sometimes but rare. He's wonderful!" 

Since he has gone to his new home, his adopter has sent him for his dental scaling and treatment for his ear.

*The name "Prince" was given by Dr Alice and her team.  He did not have a name when he was brought to the vet by his ex-owner. 

"A stitch in time saves nine." - if your pet has a health issue, bring him/her to the vet quickly.  An early visit can save a lot of agony for both the pet and the owner, not to mention the vet fees.

Abandoning your pet when problems shows up is a very irresponsible and coward behavior.  Give it a little thought - when you treat your pet as your child, would you ever abandon him/her when he/she needs you most?

Pets abandonment will continue as long as humans bear the wrong attitude.  

We are the ones who can STOP animal abuse and abandonment.  Do your part to share.

Old Mr Lim and his 22 cats

How does one label someone with many animals as being a hoarder? This is argumentative but simply put, we feel that the hoarder term comes about when the caregiver is unable to appropriately care for the animals under his charge. Do you remember the Ng Brothers case (http://noahsarkcares.blogspot.sg/2011/10/ng-brothers-and-their-cats-new.html) that we very fortunately managed to get the media's help with renovating of their flat while we tended to their cats? We were thankful for all the help rendered, eventually allowing the Ng Brothers a comfortable living space as well as a better environment for the cats.

Unfortunately, such cases are still occurring. When what started out as kindness and compassion results in an inability to cope with daily living, and this does not only happen with elderly folks though most of the cases we see of now are. We were alerted to Mr Lim, an elderly 78 year old man living in a two-room rental flat. Lotus Light Charity Society (http://www.lotuslight.org.sg/) approached us and we made a home visit to find out more about the circumstances surrounding this case.

Mr Lim greeted us at his door that evening. He looked like he was only in his fifties, a neatly dressed small built uncle who speaks English as well. Despite his age, he is mobile and still an active volunteer with Lotus Light in distributing food rations to other elderly. As we had honestly prepared ourselves to see the worst, Mr Lim’s flat was still considered to be in acceptable condition other than the ammonia stench. Mr Lim mentioned he cleans the flat whenever he can twice or thrice daily but as he is not able to afford cat litter, the cats pee into basins around the flat and he will wipe or wash up thereafter.

There are a total of twenty-two adult cats staying in his hall and kitchen, and Mr Lim has one room he sleeps in which he has to keep the cats out of. He told us every morning when he opens the room door, the cats will all be outside waiting to greet him and seeking affection from him. This is just so sweet!

We asked him about the origin of the cats and he told us he started out a decade ago with taking over ten plus cats from an old lady who passed on. The rest are subsequently rescued from the streets. To be honest, Mr Lim’s cats are surprisingly well fed. He does takes good care of the cats and we will say slightly more than half are affectionate and are used to human touch. Some of them will also come up to you and seek affection even from strangers.  Also, the cats at his place did not reproduce at all and he even spayed the cats in his neighbourhood.

Mr Lim is on public assistance of a few hundred dollars monthly and gets by with his friends chipping in occasionally to help with the expenses of the cats. Some of his friends are aware of his struggles over the years and have actually offered to help him release the cats elsewhere but he is still of sound mind to know that the cats are not able to survive outdoors having been domesticated most of their lives. He did try releasing one or two cats at his own void deck but in the end had to take them back in when they fell sick.

He also did approach other societies previously and was just told to put up adoption notices which he did at Cold Storage. A few nicer-looking/pedigree ones were adopted out at the beginning but that was it. There was unfortunately a HDB complaint last year and Mr Lim had to move the cats temporarily to a boarding place to avoid getting fined up to four thousand dollars. This move caused Mr Lim a few hundred dollars which might not be a lot to us but was more than a month’s expenditure to him at one go.

We spoke to Mr Lim matter-of-factly about the large number of cats and the course of action we are likely to take – to appeal for adopters and seek medical aid first and foremost, and plus Mr Lim’s firm promise about no further "accumulating". Mr Lim himself is also aware that he is not getting any younger and he ought to make plans should he suddenly pass on one day and his cats will be the ones suffering. His only wish for now is to relocate them appropriately and that they will be taken care of.

With so many cats in his flat, we did notice a few that were not feeling too well and we managed to bring a vet to Mr Lim’s flat for medical attention and treatment. My Family Vet was kindly enough to make a house call late at night after their clinic hours and some of the sicker cats were assessed during the first round. Overall, there was serious fur mites infestation – under the microscope, we could see eggs on the strands of fur extracted for examination. There was also another ginger cat who could not eat on his own and the vet gave a jab to alleviate the gum infection.

We hope to be able to find adopters at least for some of Mr Lim’s cats and will like to ask if any of you can kindly take in one (more) cat in your household. We are also working with the vet to slowly treat his cats and will deeply appreciate if we can get your kind help in supporting our cause. We are aware that eventually, if the cats do not get adopted after some time, we will be looking at sending the cats up to our sanctuary NANAS in Malaysia which we will have to raise funds to send them across the border too.  Within our own constraints and capacity, once we decided to take up a case, we will see to it that the animals have a place to live in for the rest of their lives, safely and with dignity.  Please email noahsarkcares@gmail.com if you can help in any way, thank you!

Out of the bonnet and into a warm caring family!

Who would imagine finding a kitten in a car bonnet? A few faintish sounding 'meows" prompted our rescuer to open up bonnet for further investigation. A small and extremely filthy little kitten greeted her, not sure if we could call that a pleasant surprise? The rescuer whipped the little one out of the bonnet and settled her quickly into a carrier. The little one meowed relentlessly as she was likely not used to being confined to a small space. She was fed warm food and water, shortly after she fell into a deep sleep.

The rescuer named the kitten Chelsea and Chelsea was allowed to roam in the rescuer's apartment for a few days. Chelsea was extremely frightened, hiding under the bed most of the time. On the third day, her fear melted away and she became more inquisitive. When the rescuer first entered the room, she would stand and observe from a safe corner. Another day passed and she actually came running out when the rescuer entered the room! The rescuer had 2 other cats at home, but Chelsea was not bothered by them and was slowly introduced to the others through a playpen fence. A little intimidated by the bigger-sized friends, she would stand at the feet of the rescuer - a sign that she has an angel watching over her, what a clever little girl!



Adoption notices were posted on various online sites. Within a week, numerous enquiries came in for Chelsea. The rescuer was extremely careful when rehoming the kitten. This is because adopters need to agree to sterilizing the cat when she reaches 6 months of age, ensuring the cat stays indoors (cats can get into fights when they are allowed to roam outside and can also catch illnesses from other cats) and cat-proof the home to ensure the cat will not jump out of a window while trying to pounce on a bird outside (this happens a lot of times in apartments).

After screening the keen adopters, Chelsea was brought to the home of a couple who has just adopted Mario, another young kitten who was saved from the streets few weeks ago. Even kittens get territorial at a young age! During the next week and initially chasing after each other, both cats learnt to share toys and soon became inseparable. Chelsea was renamed "Mindy" at her new home. This is Mindy and Mario together below:


It takes so little to help a stray little kitten but the joy that comes after you find him/her a good home is simply beyond words. To us, it would mean there is one less stray on our streets.

You are my PoohPooh Bear!

On 20 Jul 2011, NAC asked if I was willing to write about our recent adoption of a female dog. I agreed readily even though I do not know what to write. Afterall “she” was only with us for a couple of weeks, I had no idea what should I focus on writing.

Finally today I found the inspiration to write something, so I went to the Noah's Ark blog to have a look and below was part of the very first article I picked to read.

“This Chow Chow was abandoned by its owner. She is 10 yrs old and her name in Yuki. Her irresponsible owner opened the gates and let the dog out. When the dog was picked up by SPCA, the owner told someone to lie that he was out of town and to put the dog down. Fortunately we got wind of it in time and Yuki was bailed out from SPCA and is now living in a boarding facility, waiting for someone to love her again. After some tender loving care in her foster home, this is how she looks like today. The next 3 pictures show Yuki cleaned & groomed. According to the Vet, she is in perfect health and is now with a fosterer.”

Coincidentally the dog in this very first article I picked “How Could You?” is the one my husband and I just adopted through Ruth.

After moving into a “Kampong”, the first thing my husband and I did was to adopt two dogs, Trevor a Golden Retriever from SPCA and Fat Fat Mongrel from the landlord.

Together with Coco an English Cocker Spaniel we had with us since 2001, we magically reached the maximum number of dogs allowed within 1 week from moving into our new place

Never had we thought of adding one more since 3 is the limit.

Two weeks after we moved in, my in-laws came for the house warming and my husband casually described the type of dogs he liked to his sister.

My husband loves dogs with a grumpy face (a Neapolitan Mastiff being his favorite).
We actually went to SPCA for Athena (the Mastiff with SPCA in Jun 2011) but she had tick fever so she was not suitable for adoption so that’s how we got Trevor instead.

After hearing my husband’s description of the type of dogs he likes, my sister in-law went home and started searching the Internet.

A couple of weeks later, she sent us a mail with a link that’s when we saw Yuki for adoption.

We were both so excited and I contacted Ruth immediately. We invited Ruth to our place for a house visit within the next few days and Yuki came to our place for good within a week from we first saw the advertisement.

The first day Yuki ignored us, preferring to sleep alone in the living room so we let her be.

The next day we invited some friends over and a friend brought this.

Another day passed..I was in the study room doing my work when Yuki came to pay me a visit.

It only took her two days to get used to living with us and she climbed up this bed (with my permission) to be with me.

Life with Yuki is a joy!

We brought Yuki to the vet for a check up and that’s how she looked in the car. HAPPY!!!!!

One day I was at work and I received an MMS from my husband. This was what he sent.

Yuki is definitely a dog with a heart.

Despite being cruelly abandoned by her previous owner and having to go through the stress of moving from shelter to fosterers to eventually our home, just like most dogs, she still never stops loving.

She loves us humans in her own quiet way, following us in and out of the room, walking double steps to the gate to see us off, standing there looking at us with her tender loving eyes, lying in our room snoring softly enjoying the cold air..every now and then, she will try to get her crumply body lifted up, and walk briskly to us to ask for a little pat and a little sayang.

Yuki is so lovely that I don’t understand which part of her became a nuisance to the previous owner.

(For that matter, Trevor and Fat Fat too are so lovely that we often wonder why Trevor ended up in SPCA and Fat Fat confined to the back yard for 7 years)

It probably only takes a split second to buy, and definitely another split second to dump.
However by the time Yuki found us, or we found Yuki, it was a good two years after she was being cruelly abandoned.

I always believe in fate and fate has brought Yuki and us together.

Nothing was a pre-planned move..the house moving, the email from my sister in law, the adoption of the fourth dog and the surfing of an article to read on Noah Ark’s website. Yet everything that had happened pointed Yuki to us.

Oh yes, we did apply to AVA for a license for a fourth dog which they approved after visiting us.

Ruth told us she was almost going to give up searching for a permanent home for Yuki, a 12 years old Female Short Coat Chow Chow with just a slight joint problem which can be resolved by a simple jab once in two months costing only S$25.

Yuki is an old dog, that’s why she is not always the first choice for adoption.

Because of Yuki, my husband and I decided we would continue to adopt only older dogs.

We love them all the same; they are as cute as puppy if not even cuter, without the teething problem and the toilet training nightmare.

Yuki, you are my Pooh Pooh Bear.

Sisterly Love - Chu Chu & Mei Mei

Remember Mei Mei? See http://noahsarkcares.blogspot.com/2008/07/mei-mei-lovely-lady.html for a quick refresher.

Chu Chu and Mei Mei came from different backgrounds. One was raised as a puppy in a good home. The other was a hungry stray rescued from Tuas Industrial Area. After Mei Mei came into Chu Chu's life, there was no more loneliness. They play, eat and sleep together and are the best of friends. They even go to Sentosa for swims - although one swims and the other doesnt. Nevertheless, they are inseparable. Everyday in their life, is constantly filled with fun, love and happiness. What more could a dog ask for? :D

A Home Visit to Diesel’s Place

Dear readers,

Do you remember Diesel? Our maggot wound dog that was resuced from the industrial estate?

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TWO BLOG ARTICLES CONTAIN DISTURBING PICTURES.

See http://noahsarkcares.blogspot.com/2008/08/before-reading-further-please-be-aware_14.html and http://noahsarkcares.blogspot.com/2008/08/before-reading-further-please-be-aware_14.html

Diesel’s case upset many of my friends greatly when I showed them the photo of his treated but still raw wound, as they wondered how come a bite wound can manifest into something so serious, and they are equally amazed at how Diesel did not die from it. According to the security guard at the construction site, Diesel was the third or fourth victim to be bitten by the same dog, and he was the only that survived. Imagine you could smell his maggot wound when driving past the road he was walking along?!?



Diesel's old battle scars
At the door of Diesel’s home when I pressed the door bell, a roly-poly dog greeted me! I took a second look, and realized, oh my, he was like double his size when I first saw him! He was happily galloping around like a horse, up and down the steps and kept snuggling up for attention.

Lucky Diesel gets a walk thrice or even four times daily. Upon reaching home, he knows that Mr Yuen will go to the study room and switch on the air-conditioning, thus now he dashes into the study room faster than Mr Yuen can walk! At night, he will sleep right outside their bedroom, enjoying the air-conditioning that sips out from the gap under the bedroom door.

Diesel is getting picky with food and refuses to eat unless butter is applied onto it! This explains for his wide and expanding waistline! He also likes to look out of the window by standing on twos, and gaze at the world outside, giving the contented look as if saying “oh, the world is wide and I’ve almost seen it all, but boy am I lucky to have somewhere to rest my tired feet..”


Many might be thinking about the recovery progress of the injury Diesel had. Yes there is quite a visible scar there, and the fur will never grow back to cover the scar, but Diesel has come a long way and the scar is evidence of that. Mr and Mrs Yuen told me that they did have an intention of getting a puppy initially, but their daughter who is overseas now, upon learning about Diesel’s sad story plus seeing his photos, insisted that they adopt him instead. Thank you Miss Yuen, for so kindly giving Diesel a new lease of life. He will no longer have to fight for survival out in the open, for food, for territory.

Last but not least, check out Diesel's story on RazorTV by clicking on this link: Diesel's Story http://www.razor.tv/site/servlet/segment/main/news/44240.html. For 1 more RazorTV clip, please take a look at our right column under videos.

We at Noah's Ark are extremely happy for Diesel, as he has finally found his forever home.

The Adoption of Lucky Angel by her Fosterer!

“Angel” – the first thing that comes to my mind is not the pretty little fairy pictured in fairy tales or in the eyes of children, but the image of a stone fish. That is the only thing that can be used to describe how we felt when we first saw her – lonely, aloof, listless and staring blankly into space.

Before you read further, please visit the links below for a recap on Angel's story: http://noahsarkcares.blogspot.com/2009/04/angel.html and http://noahsarkcares.blogspot.com/2009/04/updates-lucky-angel.html to see what a long way she has come.

Many will say that Angel has the luck of one in a million dogs. On the practical side, who will ever want to adopt such a dog? Today, her mange condition is definitely much better with tender loving care from Catherine and family and their domestic helper Pearlita who is Lucky Angel’s main caregiver, but her skin condition is not what many can and will accept. Medical costs aside, she certainly does not look as cute or normal as the thousands of strays out there on the streets with no place to call home. Currently, Lucky Angel still has some bald patches on her, but having come so far is already a great and unimaginable achievement. Take a look at the photos and judge for yourself!



This is how Angel looks like today..


Her eyes are full of life and happiness...as compared to when she was first rescued

Lucky Angel enjoying life
Initially, we were all ready to send her to Noah’s Ark when she was in better shape and health. Never did we ever think that someone would adopt her! During the fostering period however, Catherine and family had grown so attached to her that they eventually decided to adopt her!

The care and concern of Catherine and her family has brought out a different Angel you see today!

This act of unselfishness by Catherine and her family has touched many hearts. Lucky Angel might not have all her fur grown properly back, but this does not bother Catherine at all. We are assured that she will take good care of Lucky Angel, providing a place, her home and her heart - for life.

Lucky Angel is now living in town, yes the central of Singapore, and goes for 6 walks every day! We are sure that Catherine and family love her very much, and are prepared to settle down with her and start a new chapter of life together!

Before and After. See the vast difference!

We can never thank Catherine enough for her acceptance of Lucky Angel – an imperfect looking dog who turned out to be a perfect companion in her eyes. If only Lucky Angel could speak and tell Catherine just what difficulties she has been through – how it was like literally from hell to heaven. Without a doubt, we are sure Catherine can see all these gratitude in Lucky Angel’s eyes.

Gambolling Gambit

Our toy poodle, Coco, passed away last August after 11 years with us. This left us with Bandit our 11 year old JRT whom we adopted some 6 years back. So we thought about adopting another dog. We figured Bandit would enjoy the company as well. So we put the word out.

When Noah’s Ark Cares told us they had a young sweet male JRT for adoption, we were thrilled & excited to meet him. He had been abandoned by his previous owner.

Checking female dogs out on the internet!

And so D-Day came when we took Bandit down to meet Russell (as he was called then) in neutral territory. Russell is much smaller compared to Bandit who is short-legged, long bodied, broad chested & a tough cookie…very muscular (seriously ! he is not fat. Fat dogs cannot jump as high as he can).

Bandit & Gambit
The first meeting was good, no aggressiveness which signalled that we could move on to the next step, taking them both up to the apartment. The nimble dance of rear-end sniffing & circling ensued. I was a little nervous as I was afraid that Bandit would turn on the smaller dog. Fortunately, just little growls from Bandit when Russell became too enthusiastic.

Gambit & Bandit

And so we decided to keep Russell for a few days. By the first day we were already charmed by his sweet nature & my two teenaged children were already tossing names around. But we had to be practical & ensure that the two dogs would get along before we made the decision. Bandit had to remain Da Top Dawg…he gets petted & loved first so that he will not feel usurped.


MINE! NO! ITS MINE! Featuring our stars on the Left: Bandit, Right: Gambit

Poor Russell was very anxious when he was left with us & he quickly latched on to me. His anxiety resulted in major backend reaction. This little dog could fart like there was no tomorrow ! He gave off silencers…the worst kind ! Bottle this & we could smoke out Mas Selamat & Osama in no time.

Despite the smelly emissions, we were won over. He was named Gambit, in honour of an X-men character. If I had my way, he would have been named Kentot. And thus Gambit came to live with us.

As his confidence grew, Gambit’s playfulness emerged. And being much younger than Bandit, loves to play, gambolling all over. Tug o war with a towel is his favourite game which he plays with us humans.

Tug of war with the towel!

He tries to coax Bandit to play but his lordship won’t. There’s this hop-bump with nose-hop-yip from Gambit onto any part of Bandit’s body. Bandit bestows on him the most disdainful look & walks away. Gambit is undeterred…tries again. And so his lordship gets annoyed. He growls softly & when Gambit doesn’t give up, growls louder accompanied by short barks & when Gambit really pushes it, Bandit snaps, literally. His snaps don’t connect & you will see Gambit give this huge bunny hop away. But he comes back for more & we just shake our heads & roll our eyes at his foolhardiness.

Sharing is caring...

Hubby says it is payback time for Bandit because he used to annoy Coco by trying to get her to play & she being a hoity-toity French Princess (in her mind), would growl, snap & daintily show him her flufty behind. And like Gambit, he would still not give up. We wonder if Bandit experiences déjà vu in moments like these ?

Gambit is not only sweet natured but very bright. He learnt where to pee & poop rather quickly & also knows basic commands. Despite his small stature his bark is rough & gruff. We laugh at it. It is not loud, just hoarse. Like Rod Stewart with a sore throat.

Gambit in his down-stay mode

He likes to sit on our son or daughter’s lap while either one of them is on the laptop (he’s the lapdog) & gets his paws on the keyboard. Our daughter has one-sided conversations with him which goes like this.....eh don't close my conversation (her msn chats).....eh why you highlight the text.....I cannot see the screen, can you sit quietly & read.....don't you dare fart on my lap....are you sleeping ? do you dream ?

Lap Dog!

Bandit on the other hand, is too big for a lap cuddle (his butt will hang over) but he lays his head down on any part of your body that he fancies & uses his nose to push your hand to demand his petting fix. He shoves Gambit out of the way deliberately though he pretends like “ooops didn’t see you small fart”.


Welcoming us home everyday without fail..

Bandit & Gambit now sometimes share the same bedding though they each have their own, rump to rump, not quite nose to nose yet. They share the same toys & eat together. They are becoming accustomed to one another; Bandit being more tolerant so long as Gambit is less annoying. They won’t be BFF yet but it is looking good.

As he gains more confidence, Gambit’s malodorous silencers lessen. Or maybe it’s the food…we don’t really know. We still get the occasional whiff. And the next time we have visitors over for dinner, we can say it’s the dog. And it really won’t be an excuse.

Many kisses to my newfound family!

Please don't forget to check out the 2 videos below. We're so lucky to have him (:

Gambit came trained!



Some fun doggy time with Bandit and Gambit!
