goodbyes
2007-11-21 21:02:00 remember the kitty flushed out by a storm? the crazy man and woman almost kept it because it had the uncanny knack of throwing them a head-in-tail curl, a belly-up, a hang-in-the-air-for-a-second hop and a carry-me-whichever-way-you-like flop when they are at their most vulnerable... they even named it - Monk... and then someone adopted it! muahahahaha, so long sucka. you got to laugh. because when you stop... Poppet the carpark cat went the way of toothless calico. the vet made her as comfortable as she could be, and she went. the feeder doesn't know how to carry on when her love and her labours isn't enough against the brutalities of life on the street, but she will. the woman doesn't know how she can give help and hope again when there is the chance she has to make a cat auntie cry, but she will.
catch up game
2007-11-13 12:27:00 i haven't been keeping up with this blog. that is because i am taking my role as maid-of-honour very seriously. as her bridesmaid (though she doesn't know it quite yet...), i want to get my sashay down the red carpet just right. and i am doing it with a posie on my head. she can't say no to that, surely!so yes, my man and woman are finally walking down the aisle in good old traditional fashion in december. the gown is booked, the alcohol is shipped and the invites are in the mail, so it's all set barring the proper big bang proposal that the man still owes the woman. the man and woman lent a hand at ACRES with the painting of the turtle enclosure. the place is looking really good! but they still need help so people out there who can spare an afternoon, look them up. penny is louis' sweet sweet dog rescued from a breeding farm. thanks esther for the cat baskets. as you can see, tux is really lovin' it!

cat adoption contract
2007-08-06 04:13:00 this is the cat adoption contract the man and woman use when we adopt our friends out to people. i have not known any one who has been brought to task on breach of this kind of contract in Singapore, for lack of legal grounds or lack of trying i don't know, but if you are in the business of fostering and rehoming cats, i think it is a good practice to be at least in agreement with the adopter about the care and treatment of the charges. so with agreement and not enforcement in mind, our contract includes a laundry list of conditions, adapted from various sources, that are mostly useful/helpful but would be hard pressed for standing up to any scrutiny e.g. #3.in some overseas adoption contracts, there is a statement that they are binding and enforceable under civil law. in view of that, they only include conditions of contract that relate to humane treatment with requirements for sterilisation and preventive medication for which there is a reasonable burden of proof, which makes sen...

Tortie's new man
2007-07-14 02:49:00 What a day yesterday! As I was peacefully snuggling with Tuxedo and Calico, this couple came and put me in a bag and took me for a noisy ride on their scooter. Although is was exciting, I was a little bit scared, and it was nice when it was over. Then I get to this new apartment, with a bunch of new stuff I haven't seen before. The couple had prepared a room for me, but after having met with Keiko and Nikita (who tried to make an impression on me with little success…) I found my favorite place to be on the armrest of the sofa next to the man. How nice to get some rest again after all the excitement.So far I really like it here, and I am getting used to being called Calipso, or Cali, and especially all the love and attention. I think I might just stay…Say hi to the whole gang for me, and tell them that I miss them.Tortie (Calipso)

Calico, Tortie, Tuxedo up for adoption
More articles from this author:2007-06-27 22:13:00 they have had a precarious start to life but our 3 kittens never let it hold them back from having the time of their lives for one second. we hope they will find love with a family who will take them as they are, a little flawed but all perfection when it comes to showering love on the one who will love them back. interested adopters, drop us an email.(update: Tortie has been adopted.)
