She could not see the dog clearly in the dim light, but could make out that it had what appeared to be a dark brown circle around its neck.
Several days later, she came back to check on it with the SPCA Driver Samy and Vet Assistant Kenny Thean and found it sleeping under a car.To their horror, the poor dog had a wire tightly wound around its neck, cutting deep and leaving a gaping wound! They managed to catch the dog and transport it to a private vet where Pat Lim and a friend are having it treated and subsequently rehomed.
SPCA salutes all the dedicated animal rescuers who continue to do great work for the animals!
You probably remember our News Alert last Saturday about the 45 abandoned cats we rescued from an apartment in Ampang, after they had been left to live in their own filth for several weeks.
On Monday, our Animal Inspector Cunera and GAWS consultant Glyn returned to retrieve the remaining cats, and managed to bring back all 8 cats.
The news has since been published in several local dailies and on several forums online, and we are so very happy to have received hundreds of calls from concerned members of the public, wanting to find out more about these poor cats.
More than half had to be euthanized as they were too weak and sick, but the others are for adoption. Most of them are semi-feral and nervous, and their medical history is unknown.
Adopters must be experienced cat handlers, their current cats vaccinated and healthy, and they must have a facility to keep these cats confined and separated from other cats.
We’ve received over a hundred calls and e-mails today alone after the article got published in The Star Metro, we hope these kind people will come to the shelter over the weekend to adopt these cats!
