An email from a sporo-survivor, Morton the Cat

I was very pleasantly surprised and very touched to receive an email from Morton the Cat, a sporo survivor, in conjuction with his upcoming birthday!

From Morton:

Hi Dr Chan,

My name is Morton. I heard a lot about you. You are the kind lady who highlighted the plights of others like me.

Bulldog becomes surrogate mum for 6 wild pigs!

I guess this is the wonderful thing about animals. They respond to needs. They don’t think as much as we do. They don’t need to reason, ie. Is this too troublesome for me? Will this be very inconvenient? What’s in it for me? What will people think of me if I [...]

The Shah Alam cat-family is safe and sound now – a lovely story

Ref: http://myanimalcare.org/2012/02/03/mother-cat-and-3-more-kittens-left-in-shah-alam-koos/

And, Maslinda (bless her kind heart), said YES! But could someone please bring [...]

This IS an imperfect world.

At 5.00am this morning, two of my friends informed me that the contender dream has overtaken us. They have pumped in 3000 votes in 2 days (around the clock!), certainly a very extraordinary feat that we simply cannot match. I believe most of our friends and supporters have already voted [...]

One female cat spayed (Aniza Abdullah’s)

Recently, Aniza Abdullah brought a stray female cat (named Grey) to her vet in Shah Alam for spaying.

We have subsidised RM100 for the procedure.

 

Join us in CNRM. For every street animal spayed-neutered, we prevent thousands of unwanted births and unnecessary suffering.

C = Care N = Neuter R = Rehome/Return [...]

The power of thoughts

I thought (!) these came most appropriately in light of my experience today. I hope you find them useful too.

We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far. – Swami Vivekananda

See things as you would have them be instead [...]
