SPCA Selangor Adoption Drive, May 22-23

Hello everyone,
Just a quick post to remind everyone that SPCA Selangor will have their adoption drive this weekend May 22-23 at Bangsar Shopping Center. We'll be there from 10am to 6pm both days. Please drop by and show your support, just say hi, adopt, or make a donation. To raise funds we've also got lots of SPCA merchandise for sale. They make great gifts!

There will be dogs and cats of all ages all needing homes so please spread the word and encourage your friends to adopt from a shelter instead of breed and buy from a petstore. My foster kittens Santo, Tutti Frutti, and Luckytoes Midnight will be there thanks to my dear friend Nic who brought them for their vaccinations yesterday. They are adoption drive ready and looking for permanent, loving homes.

Remember, don't breed and buy while shelter animals die. Hope to see some familiar faces tomorrow!

Photos of Santo and Tutti Frutti

Hi everyone!! Finally, some photos of Santo and Tutti Frutti. They're pretty hard to take pictures of.. they're squirmy little suckers they are. Santo and Tutti Frutti are super affectionate and attention seeking now. They can't stand to be alone and crave human contact and attention. They stand at my bedroom door and meow. They cry. They follow me around. Cute little shits. It's nice to be fostering kittens that like me.. very different from Runty & Stubbs. Santo and Tutti seem to see me as a mother figure.


Tutti Frutti aka Smudge. She has to be held down for photos most of the time. She keeps trying to sniff me and sit on my lap.


Santo. A pretty boy. Sitting on my lap. He always has eye poop. He's gained a lot weight and looks great now!



Tutti Frutti is really really thin but i think after some weight gain she'll be gorgeous! i love her facial smudge.















Santo and Tutti are with my friend Nic tonight. She works at SPCA so she'll bring them with her to the shelter tomorrow morning to see the shelter vet coz i'm super broke right now. They'll get their shots from Dr P tomorrow and then I'll pick them up from Nic tomorrow night after work. I hope i can bring them for this weekend's adoption drive at bangsar shopping center!!!

New Foster Kitten - Tutti Frutti

hello everyone. thank you for all the kind words i have been receiving about dear little socks. i really hope she is in a better place now. i know some are wondering what happens here in cases of animal cruelty.. well honestly, not much. people can report cases of cruelty to SPCA Selangor but there is little that SPCA can do. SPCA inspectors will go and investigate and gather whatever evidence they can, but they can't prosecute or even seize an animal living in a bad situation without permission and accompaniment from the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS). DVS is a government body and useless. Even with evidence gathered by SPCA inspectorate, including photos and once even a confession and the bodies of abused animals, DVS has failed to take action. they always say there isn't enough evidence to prosecute. they're lazy and don't give a flying fuck about animal welfare at all. word is, they haven't prosecuted a single cruelty case for SPCA in years.

anyway.. i also have a bit of news. i've got yet another foster kitten, tutti frutti. i found this one while driving home from SPCA's adoption drive in bangsar shopping center today. she's about 3 and a half to 4 months old.. white with small black patches. she's got some black smudges on her face and her long skinny tail is black with a white tip. actually she was part of a litter of 4 but i don't know if i'll be able to get her siblings. she was eating food left on the sidewalk with her 3 siblings. they all dashed off as i approached, but tutti frutti was too slow so i grabbed her and stuffed her into a carrier. she was a little freaked at first but after a couple of hours she was fine. she's very sweet and affectionate with a tiny little voice. i'll bring her to the vet tomorrow and hopefully she and santo will be totally ready for adoption soon. i've got new photos of santo to upload and i've got to take some photos of tutti but i'll do all that tomorrow. its 1am now and i've got to wake up at the buttcrack of dawn for work.

tutti frutti got her name because 2 of the chicas from SPCA and i ate 60 ringgit worth of tutti frutti frozen yogurt and toppings today. hell yeahhhhhh baby.. it was gooooooood..

New Foster Kitten - Santo

hola peeps! i have a new foster kitten and his name is Santo. He's about 3 months old, white with some orange patches, and a long ringed tail. He's very cute and very sweet. Totally tame and was actually in decent shape when i picked him up. Now that's soooo rare. Usually they're like half dead when i rescue them. This little kitten was just dirty. It's so refreshing to find a homeless kitten that is healthy and playful. Santo looks just like Mortimer, my little foster kitten that passed away two weeks ago. Same tail, same patches, same coloring. The only difference is the color of their eyes and the fact that Mortimer was practically just a skeleton with fur when i found him. i suppose what i'm trying to say is, i almost feel like i'm getting a second chance with poor Mort who suffered so terribly.

here's how Santo came into my life yesterday. i had to go with my boss for an early morning meeting in town. we got to the meeting and the dude didn't show up! i called his cell and his office like a zillion times and sent text messages but got nothing. so i was like moody and i felt retarded too because this was a meeting that i had set up. luckily the boss man is cool and wasn't pissed off and we just headed back to the office. as we were driving into the building, a little kitten dashed out from under one of the cars parked in front of mcdonald's, sprinted past and then sat down at the curb looking chill. my boss looked at me and said "um you're going to rescue that aren't you.." hhahahhhahaaha i guess everyone knows i can't leave a little animal alone.

i grabbed the little dude and carried him up to the office where he hung out with me a couple of hours until i could drop him off at home during my lunch break. i think he had a blast at the office! my boss gave him a little saucer of milk and sant0 spent the morning running around, attacking things on my desk, walking on my keyboard, jumping in and out of trashcans, attacking bin liners, chasing scrunched up balls of paper, and snoozing on my desk.

Santo is very vocal and has the weirdest meow. his meows aren't very meowy.. they're more like ows and ehhhs and he makes weird guttural noises while he eats. he's very comfortable at my home already. no transition period whatsover. he made himself at home. introduced himself to the other cats and began playing with them. he hates the dogs of course. i frontlined and dewormed him last night. he wasn't too pleased about that but well you do what you gotta do right. i don't want fleas and mites in the house. this guy will be up for adoption after he gets vaccinated. excellent.
