Little Boo/Baby Beau UPDATE

Some of you may remember Little Boo as the tiny baby that my best friend M and I found in Kampung Segambut Dalam a few months ago. On the day she was rescued she was terribly ill and looked like this:

I fostered her until she was a healthy, rambunctious, little punk and she was soon adopted. Today I received new photos from the lovely lady that adopted her. Check out this monkey now. I love it when rescued animals get the happy lives they deserve. It makes me feel like maybe we animal peeps do make a difference in this world, even if only for a few :) Being broke all the time just might be worth it if this is the result!

More photos of Boo's difficult beginning can be found here and here. Her name is Datin now.

Baby Beau/Little Boo has been adopted!

Just a quick one to tell all you animal welfare lovelies that Baby Beau also known as Little Boo, now known as Datin, was adopted last Friday evening. She joins a lovely lady who lives in my neighborhood and her other precious pets.

She's in excellent hands and has already been brought for further checkups at the vet, full blood screening, and she's now on Revolution. I couldn't be happier for the little sugar booger. Her new mother is the sort of adopter that we always wish for, but don't always find for our foster animals.

Baby Beau - New Photos

As promised, an update about Baby Beau. She has recovered from her flu and eye infections. It turns out that she doesn't have ringworm on her face. The baldness was caused by her scratching her eyes and also the dried, crusted, discharge from her eyes. Whenever she rubbed off the crusted icky stuff, she pulled fur out as well. She basically waxed her own face. The fur has been growing back well and she looks fabulous. Oh, did i mention that she's a girl, not a boy. I always make that mistake with the young ones. So she can't be called Beau anymore. I'm leaning more toward Baby Boo or Little Boo but anyway, names I give these tykes aren't permanent. They almost all get new names when they go to their new homes.

Isn't she pretty?

Can you spot the kitten?

Snoozing peacefully.. A rare moment. She's almost always running around.

Looking pretty in pink..

Check out that big belly.. Rest assured, she has been dewormed!!



Such a pretty face and an awesome personality to match!

New foster kitten - Baby Beau

M2 and I found Baby Beau last night as we drove through Kampung Segambut Dalam. The tiny little tyke was trying to cross the road by himself and ran right in front of my car. I pulled over and M2 rushed out to grab him. He's about 5-6 weeks old, white with grey patches. So far he's pretty quiet but he's got a great appetite. He eats wet or dry food and has the most impeccable bathroom habits I have ever seen. I'm convinced he's a genius. I just had to show him the litter box once and he hasn't failed to use it on his own every time, even thoroughly burying each 'deposit'. I know plenty of adult cats that could learn a thing or two from Baby Beau. He's been treated for fleas and will be getting his shot and dewormer when he sees the shelter vet tomorrow. He seems to have some sort of skin problem on his face (ringworm maybe?), some baldness above and around his nose, but I'm sure he'll be a heartbreaker once it clears up. I thought he might be sick because he seemed weak but after a big meal he started to very gently play with my hands. Baby Beau is available for adoption to a good home. I'll post more photos as he grows, especially as his face recovers.
