FOR ADOPTION: Pepo and Blossom

December 17, 2009 · Leave a Comment

 

BlossomPepoWe are currently fostering  pair of wonderfully spirited little dogs.  We are hoping for some yuletide magic for them as they have long been without a family.

Pepo is almost an Italian greyhound, sans sloping hind quarters.  He is the quintessental lapdog andwould gladly spend all day curled up next to/on his favourite person, or any person for the matter!  He is very affectionate and demonstrative.  His coat is a wonderful velvet latte colour and he weighs slightly undr 3 kg and is estimated to be four years old.

Blossom is seven and looks like a Manchester Terrier.  She has a joyful and playful nature and loves playing basketball with my kids.  However, she cannot be trusted around small animals and will chase and possible harm them, so her perfect home would have to be cat, rabbit and other small animals free.

Please give these two a chance at a forever home. 

*Photos are not that great because they really are very energetic and I’m not very talented.

FOR ADOPTION – Three siblings

November 18, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Forgive me this extremely uninformative post.  Having been so overwhelmed recently, I don’t even know their genders or names.  Olivia will but it’s late and I am loath to call her when she too needs her rest.  Maybe I’ll have internet access and free time concurrently soon so I can provide this pertinent info.

Nevertheless, I do have some photos and my belly can vouch for their playfullness (one literally used me as a cat tree today, sinking her sharp little kitten claws into my jeans, which was OK and then my T shirt, which was painful.  She unintentionally left several little holes in my belly).

Some Collars

For the discerning feline

For the discerning feline

We’re not really into clothes for dogs.  This is after all a tropical country.  But the magpie in me calls for nourishment so we compromised by going wild with the collars.  Here are some photos of the collars available at the store.  They are all very affordable and present a great oppurtunity to have a bit of fun with your pet.

And if you think it’s too OTT, check out Beethoven, the little pup looking for a home.  He sports the blue sequins without looking even slightly camp.

For Adoption- GINGER

April 27, 2009 · 2 Comments

This gorgeous tabby boy is up for adoption again due to no fault of his own.  He’s a little wary of strangers but it totally loving when he knows you.

He has lived with other cats before so will be able to join a family with other cats if necessary.

However, he needs to be feed a premium food to help him regain condition.  His current photo is not quite as impressive :(

As Ginger is a long haired cat, we are looking for someone who has the time to groom him properly.  He will require daily combing and a monthly bath.  This is not something that can be done at home unless you have powerful cool air dryer.

As long haired cats are very popular, we will be choosing his new owner based on suitability rather than on a first come first serve basis.  Please copy our adoption questionnaire and email it to me at aliciahorsley@gmail.com so I can consider your application.

Oranges anyone?….

April 20, 2009 · 6 Comments

We’ve recently picked up a selection of oranges (ok, show cat people call them reds).  Here’s some photos.  Any takers?

The first one is called Byron.  This lucky little thing was picked up from the food court in Tmn Melawati. Isabel thought he’d die without help, and to be honest he was really really skinny and full of worms!  Looked like a furry fishball with little skinny legs.  Anyway, none of the girls would take care of him so we brought Canto, my MC in.  I know many people seperate their pedigree cats from their domestics.  I understand the rationale – disease etc, but Canto is not a show cat.  He’s just a love machine, and was he delighted ot have another kitten to care for.

Byron

Picking him up was a foregone conclusion.  When we laid eyes on his mange ridden little body, our hearts almost siezed.  We decided to eat lunch first, then act if he was still huddled under the car.  Sure enough, he was.  Granted we ate very very very quickly.

We have named him Onnekas (Finnish for gift) and he’s coming along.  Because his mange is so severe, he’s kept alone and that breaks our heart.  We feel kittens should have someone to curl up with.  He’ll have his next mange jab next week and then we’ll try introducing a nice adult or some healthy kitten and see how it goes.

He’s actually very handsome.  The photo may not do him justice but he is a SPOTTED tabby.  Rare and very interesting.  How did a domestic get those spots?

Onnekas

Naya is a wonderful and sexy little lady.  She and two of her now grown kittens are still looking for a home.  I’m never sure why people don’t see the loveliness that she is.  Playful, plump and a turbo charges purring machine, what’s not to love?

ADOPTED – Robin 19/04/2009

April 20, 2009 · Leave a Comment

april-201

Earlier in the week, Bern asked my why Robin was still with us.  He carried her out and spent a good 40 minutes plaing with her and getting her to pose for me.  He had so much fun stroking her and asked me if we cold take her home when we moved into the new house, if she was still here.  He remembers how long she has been with us, playing with her fat pregnant belly and watching her wait as each of her three babies, Ophelia, SIlver Solomon and Pinto moved on with their lives.

Well, Robin was adopted on Sunday!

Cat of the Week: Party

March 30, 2009 · 1 Comment

Party was a joyful little kitten when we first came upon her. She was left at a mamak stall near the old Pet Epicure to fend for herself at the tender age of six weeks. We took her in and she grew quickly into a happy young lady. She was called Party for her playful nature as well as in honour of her tri-coloured coat.

Several weeks later, she was adopted by a large family. We were so pleased for her and thought that our paths would part permanently. Sadly, this was not to be the case. After almost a year with her family, she was returned to us. Her family were going through a difficult time and were now unable to care for her. She was in poor health, with severe oral ulcers that left her emaciated and vulnerable to all sorts of secondary infections. Being around other cats further added to her misery and delayed her recovery. She had trouble gaining weight and lost most of her lovely, glossy fur.

We battled for almost six months and she is now finally on the mend. We truly hope she will have a Happily Ever After. She has fought long and hard for it. She is gentle and undemanding. All she needs is welcoming lap once in a while and gentle stroke. We are hoping with all our hearts that her special someone is just round the corner and ready to welcome her into their lives.

Cats of the Week: Raven and Ticca

March 24, 2009 · 1 Comment

Raven is a black male of fantastic proportions with a heart to match. While he is somewhat shy at the beginning, he soon warms up and is ready to shower his human with head butts and loud purrs. He has expressive yellow eyes and a gorgeous ebony coat.
Ticca is a deceptively ordinary looking brown tabby. However, upon closer inspection, she has a crown of gold on her head! She looks rather royal in our opinion. Again, she is a little reserved but can be very affection to those she trusts.
Raven was dumped outside the old Pet Epicure with his sister, Ticca in a cardboard box. They were only three weeks old then but with TLC and good nutrition, they have grown and flourished. Sadly, even after two years, Raven and Ticca have not captured the hearts of any of the many families who have come to us looking for their special feline.
We’re highlighting this pair with the hopes that somewhere out there, there is someone with a big heart who can give these two the dedication and love they so richly deserve. In return, this unusual pair will bring love, loyalty and a touch of uniqueness to their person.
