Hello dear readers. I hope all of you are doing fine while reading my post. It's been a year since I post in this blog and my two other blogs. Plenty of things happened relating to the animals that I feed, I foster and I adopt. I'll just re-cap things that I can remember throughout this one year.
Grey has been adopted by a very loving family. I can't wish more seeing him happy living with his new family whether it's human or furriends. The adopter has three dogs that time. Someone told me that they doubt the adopter's credibility to adopt Grey due to some reason. But I followed my instinct. I can't ask for more from them. They're the perfect adopter for me. I did went to their house to visit them and also Grey. By the way, they change his name to Billy Zane. Very macho name. I don't mind cause I know I'm no good in giving names.
Billy Zane and I. His becoming fatter now which is good.
But he still have that strong pointed nose.
When I sent Billy Zane to the adopter, I decided to foster Nellie and her upcoming litter. Yup she got pregnant again. I manage to catch her, brought her to the vet. Do some check-up and asked the vet about tips on how to handle a mother cat who has problem in giving birth. The vet told me tips and tricks. A week after that, on Friday 12th April 2013, Nellie gave birth to five beautiful kittens. She gave birth when I went to my class. Maybe she want to give birth earlier but I keep on interrupting her because I was too nervous!! My first time expecting a cat to give birth at my house.
Cute little furballs.
When the kittens already weaning, I sent Nellie for spaying. Although it is a risk to spay a geriatric cat, I just have to do it. I took the risk. During the spaying operation, the vet cabut all of Nellie's tooth except her top and bottom canine tooth because the rest are already in bad condition due to tartar. When they're older enough, I sent them for neutering and spaying. All of them are still available for adoption. You can view their picture here. I do update about them on my wall, do check them out.
Their recent picture. The carrier size L.
So you can guess their size by now.
What about Zoe. Well, I found Zoe. I was crying like crazy when I found her. She was so excited to see me. She even lick my hand. I cannot stand looking at her because I was too happy, so I cried inside the car. I know I'm a cry baby when it comes to animals. One day, I found someone advertise about her on Petfinder. So I contacted that person. She did told me what happened to Zoe when she was missing. A group of people came and bring a big stick. Most probably they beat her. That's why she keep on hiding and afraid when a group of people came nearby her. Me and the other independent rescuer sent her for spaying. She is and obese dog despite of being a stray. Well, she is so lovely. That's why everyone feed her. She was about 30kg if I'm not mistaken.
Look how happy she is after spaying.
After the surgery, the independent rescuer's friend foster her and she found a loving family few months later. I'm so happy for her. I was about to visit her last few months, but something happen and I need to postpone that visit.
One of my few last photo with her. That time I just need to see her.
Few weeks later, she was brought to her forever home.
Next is the kitties around my house. Some of them come and go. Nellie's previous kittens, which I named them Johnny and Jenny went missing. The other two kittens that a mother cat gave birth to, I named them Johnny Jr and Grey Jr. They were born few days before Nellie gave birth. My first round of TNRM, I neuter Handsome and Grey Jr.

Like I said, there are cat who come and go. One female kitten came out of no where. I named her Clarissa. She is too manja. I was thinking before I send her for spaying, I want to make her a bit fat first because she's quite skinny. Another cat who came is Merlin. I thought Merlin was a female. So I book two slots for spaying a female cat. Clarissa went missing and Merlin is a boy actually. Like Clarissa, Merlin came out of no where. He was lonely at first. But when he already be friend with Johnny Jr and Grey Jr, he love to buli them. But he do love them.
Clarissa
I send Merlin for neutering and do advertise him for adopters. One of my friend volunteer to foster Merlin because he looks like he can't survive out there. Yes I know. So she did foster Merlin until Merlin found a forever home recently. While Merlin went to his forever home, Handsome went missing for months already. I don't have any idea where did he go. But I just pray that all of the cats that used to eat and live here will live happily else where.

About a month after I released Handsome and Grey Jr, my brother told me there's a white kitten nearby the restaurant. I wonder who's kitten is that. I went to check. A new kitten. He was too small, weak and skinny. I named him Bruno. I gave him milk using syringe, he refused. I soak the kibbles a bit with water, he licked some. I really can't foster him. So I placed him with a small towel at a safe place. Another feeder told me that Bruno went out from the towel. I went down and took him in. I just need to. He seems weak. He ate quite a lot at my house. He ate wet food. The next day, I cleaned him up as much as I can and spray some Frontline. While I cleaned him, I feel something weird at his ribs. So we went to the vet. The vet said that Bruno is two months old based on his teeth. Due to malnutrition, he became that small. Bruno love it when I wrapped him with a shawl or a towel and placed him near my body. Maybe he just love the heat. That night, Bruno passed away when I went to my class. RIP baby. Please send my regard to Cookie.
Handsome was really nice. He protected Bruno when he came.

When I went to my college end of last year. Suddenly I saw a dog. He looks scared and skinny. I was about to submit my assignment but I think that can wait a bit ( do not copy this action. it's bad ). I don't have dogs kibbles. So I went to the store and bought two hot dogs. I gave him and he ate so fast. He was so hungry. Poor baby. He has soft coat. His eyes looks like his terrified. I told him to wait here, I submit my assignment and gave him more food. I searched for him everywhere. But that time it was already raining. I was about to leave because I couldn't find him. But then, I saw him taking shelter under a car in front of me. I know he's hungry. I placed an umbrella on him while he's eating, although I was kinda wet but as long as he's happy, I don't mind. I posted on Facebook for someone who can rescue/foster/adopt him. Someone saw that post. Her husband manage to get his trust and they brought him home. Now, the dog named Polka is happy living with two other dogs at his adopter's home.

Before and after.
The recent batch of community cats that I neutered are Bijoux and Johnny Jr. Bijoux came few months ago. Someone dumped him. Because of too much dumping, I changed the feeding station to somewhere where people cannot see. At first the cats don't know the new feeding station. After few days of teaching them the new station, they already familiarized with the new feeding station. No more dumping after that. Bijoux is a mix Bengal I think. He has that strong marking of a Bengal cat. But his face looks more like a domestic cat. So I assume that he is a mix Bengal. Bijoux is available for adoption while Johnny Jr is still feral. So I need to wait few months before he can be put for adoption. Lesson learned. From? Please continue reading this post.

Johnny Jr.
A week after Johnny Jr and Bijoux were released back to where they live before, I send Grey Jr to his adopter's house. I trust her to adopt him because she said that her family have a cat who used to be a feral. So she used to handle feral and she know she need to do. I was wrong. Grey Jr ran away from her house. I don't know what to say. I feel bad towards Grey Jr. I gave my trust to make him as a home pet, not as a community cat at other places. I'm sorry Grey Jr. My bad, my mistake. I failed you.
Grey Jr's last picture. I'm sorry syg.
What about Astro and Sophie? Astro and Sophie living their lives to the fullest here at home. Although their kibbles and litter are quite hard to find and I need to order them, I don't mind. As long as they're happy. Although I do admit that when I neuter my community cats, Astro became stressful due to the presence of new cats. That's why I make sure I have a gap between batch of cats that I neuter so that Astro will not get too stressful. Mid of last year, they did some test for FIV and FeLV. Alhamdulillah both of them are negative for those two viruses.
I just have to share this photo. Astro doing business at the pot that I put inside for a while.
When he got kantoi, he ran as fast as he can.
My everything.
