Please help this cat with half her face GONE!!

"Lara was found with half her face missing, rotting and smelling very very awful. The smell was so bad that the vet had to put on vic's vapourub on her mask while in surgery and still the smell seeped through.

She was missing for 2 weeks before she appeared when the feeder went on her feeding rounds. She was very skinny and hungry, trying to eat, but was unable to as the pain must be terrible. Managed to trap her and sent her to the vet. She has been a cat at Little India for many years and was only recently sterelised about 2 months ago. Its not fair that she has to end up this way. Seeing that she is still trying to eat and has such strong surviving spirit, decided to bring her to the vet and see how it goes.

The vet had to do 2 surgeries to take off the dead skin on her face. Half of her nose is gone, her lower eyelid and some part of the mouth. After the first surgery, she began eating on her own the third day and has gone on from strength to strength. For the second surgery, the vet put a tube through her oesophagus directly to her stomach so she can be tube fed and her face wouldn't be dirtied which may cause further infections.

She would need multiple surgeries to reconstruct her face. Parts of it which do not have skin for the new tissue to grow will will be vulnerable to infections. She also need daily cleaning for her face, which she is tolerating quite well! She also needs to be indoor after this, so she would need a home too. So far the hospital bill is coming up to $1000 and she will still need to stay there for quite awhile. The vet estimate that she would need another $1000 at least and more for the reconstruction of her face.

I'm looking after many cats at the Little India area and has already brought many of them to the vet.
If you could help with Lara's medical bill, or a home for her, please contact me at 9397 8890, or you can email me at vik_pet@ymail.com. I don't have regular email access so may be slow in my reply.

Lara is currently at Animal Docters, Ang Mo Kio Ave 4, Blk 108 #01-96 Tel: 6451 4531

Thank you. "

Help this kind old man ):

"As many of us know, it has been raining for the past few weeks in Singapore. The wind and rains are particularly strong in the forested areas. One day, an 80 year old man was taking his routine walk when he heard a yelp – sounding like a piteous cry for help from a far distance. He was curious and began walking through the difficult wood to search for that cry. After 45 mins of tedious hunt in a heavily forested area, hurting himself through dead trees, snagged by pricky thorns, thick undergrowth and multilayered canopy dominated by large trees and accumulations of dead leaves and rotten wood.

The kind old man finally saw a lonely mommy dog with her 8 pups trapped by dead logs in the dense forest. As there was no way for him to remove the logs, he went home and brought along a chisel, an axe and trowel to start removing the logs and making small pathway for the mommy and pups to walk. As he is old and did not have any other help, the old man spent one full day removing all the obstacles to rescue the family. He carried the pups and made a makeshift room for them to rest and went off to cook a simple meal for them to eat

As age is catching up, the old man suffered a terrible backache and fatigue; he was sick for many days and was unable to get out of bed. As he lived alone, there was no one to care for him, much less cook for the dogs. The mommy was hungry and started bringing her pups to the deep forest to search for food which resulted in 3 deaths as they were either starved to death or crushed by the falling dead trees.

The old man is pleading for kind souls who have the space and love at home to give the puppies a chance in life to call it their home as well. Right now we are trying to help him rehome them since they are very young and when time is right, we will have mommy sterilized, if we can get near enough her to catch her.

Many have suggested to the old man to bring the pups to SPCA as there are so many others out there also looking for home. We are as torn on how to help him but we will try this avenue first"

If anyone is able to help and wishes to view and adopt the puppies, please call HP: 9765 9951 or email to alim0703@yahoo.com.sg.

Terra Rosa the Cross breed

" Our beautiful Terra Rosa escaped death twice in a month!

She was cruelly abandoned by her irresponsible owners who vacated their home without taking her along. She was left wandering alone to fend for herself, confused, hungry, frightened and worse of all, was hounded and chased by the authorities.

After the first escape, she hid in the bushes, however, she was not lucky the 2nd time round. She was caught by the authorities while taking a nap beneath the bushes. Doomed for death, she was redeemed by a group of caring individuals, at the eleventh hour and immediately sent to the vet to be spayed whereupon the vet informed that 5 puppies were aborted.

We call her Terra Rosa - which is the name for the lovely color of red clayish earth where grape vines thrive and flourish best. This best describes our beautiful dog for her colouring is unusual and she glows in the sunshine. Just as lovely is her temperament and personality for she is gentle and sweet.


Terra Rosa or Rosa as she is affectinately known is a one year old Mixed Breed, sterilised and fully vaccinated. She is temporarily staying in a boarding home and is ready to be adopted. According to the caregiver, Rosa is a wonderful girl. She does not bark, gets along with the other dogs and and is non aggressive to anyone. She spends her days watching and following the caretaker around. Her favorite pastime is napping away in the warm sun, smiling at the birds and enjoying the cool breeze.

If you are able to provide a home for Terra Rosa so she can indulge in the warm glow of your love and bring you great joy, please send a text message to 9066-1999 and we will call you back or email to anaterry@singnet.com.sg. Rosa is a medium size dog and is not a HDB approved breed."

Blessing the GS puppy

Receive from an email:

Blessing was found together with the two golden retrievers and other mongrel dogs and pups in rural part of Singapore.

He caught my attention as he's the only pup that stands out from the rest of the pups.He looks like a GS pup and we suspect the rest of his siblings may have been taken away by others but left him behind with the mongrels.

He has a small wound on his head which was bitten by other dog.We decided to take him with us.We were saddened to see many pups and dogs there but we couldn't take all of them.We left the place, feeling very sad, especially when the dogs ran after us when the car drove off.

We hope that we are able to come back soon to rescue the rest of them.This only can be done if more people come forward to help..in any way..be it foster..adopt..pls help us to spread the words around so to make this dream come true to save them.

Blessing, as we called him.We pray he will be blessed to find a good home, and bless the one who will give him a home.Will you be that special one to give Blessing a home?

Pls contact 96890777 if you wish to adopt Blessing.Not HDB approved.
