hi all. just picked up a tortiseshell kitty from SPCA. after long time trying to convince the wife. she finally gave in hahah. so nice to see the little fella run around. hope she stays healthy.

yeah. my family always pick up cats before and bela. so i dont like those orang atas cats hahah. strays and those from shelters are for me! hahah.

i think they have too many animals there kot. so they dont take in strays anymore. hope more people can adopt. a lot of gentle cats there. many are between 1-3yo. not many kittens. many dogs too, but big dogs i think will be hard for people to adopt.

if those interested. it was RM150 for normal cat breeds. (incl neuter, deworming, and 3 vaccinations). bring a cat carrier. i bought one on site at RM70, which is relatively good price (Nilufar same size was RM90). seems they are feeding royal canin food, so i bought that at nilufar, a bit pricy, but i guess its a good brand. better to keep him on same diet for now. we will see later how.

for more atas breeds (persian, bengal, etc.) i think was RM250. dunno why... maybe just a way to extra donation? anyways. RM5 to go in to take a look and play with the animals. they alls o friendly.

yeah. i think they do, because they also give free RC bowl and 2 pack of food and starter pack. im trying to claim 1 free bag of food. even today went to another pet store seems different price. if we continue her on RC, then i think ill start looking online on lazada for discount or voucher. then maybe can get for 20% cheaper. this type of thing, buy a lot also not really worried hahah.

hahahah. im currently feeding the kitten one (2nd stage) or whatever its called. after this bag finish (and hopefully second free bag from RC) then will see what food to move on to. i guess for kitten, they need more fat right? since they are much more active. but i guess need to match personality and food type.

you feed your cat other food? like cooked chicken or fish?

oh the RC one is for up to 1 year so i just beli. haha. but i guess after i finish what stock i got, will need to survey for other types. but yeah. if 13.75/kg that is quite reasonable. will look forward to your review.

yeah on their site, SPCA sponsored by 2-3 food companies. i guess they will alternate depending on requirements of an animal. and if not enough, will use whatever is donated as well. its good marketing for them as people would like to continue the same food at least initially.

see many on the FB complain they stopped taking strays even if donation is given. it makes sense lah. if too many then how to cope. have to house them and feed them. in the end stuff them all together then complain not proper care given lah abuse lah. cant please everyone. what i can say after my visit is that its a nice place and animals in good condition.

i dunno. thats what the guy said. if you are lucky, then possible i guess. my friend had a litter of bengal and just give away to people who want to adopt as that litter no one purchase. so maybe some people maybe just dump at spca instead of putting more effort? cause to neuter your purebreed also a bit kesian haha.

maintenance for cat:
Food: Around 40-80 depending on food quality. Whiskas cheapest.
Cat Litter: Around 20-30 per month.

1 time costs:
Cat toys: RM5-50
Cat Litter box: 20-40 depend on size.
Cat carrier: 50-100 depend on size (can borrow from friends i guess)
Best to have cat tree, but not vital. they will scratch carpet or sofa. hahah. mine loves the cheap RM4 ikea bathroom mat. so we didnt get a tower yet. but got a small scratching post in the meantime. he also doesnt layan..

for spca. just go there (TUESDAY-SUNDAY 10am-4pm). give RM5 donation and then they allow you to walk around. then you just cari lah. if you find the cat/dog you want, just tell the person there and they will assist you. RM150 for normal mixed breed will cover neuter, 3 vaccination and 3 deworming. you can choose whatever cat is there. no bookings. so if someone brought in persian/bengal then you can adopt lah. but RM250 for breed.

alternatively you can check out petfinder to look. but at SPCA at least can play with the cats and decide.

i leave my cat in the guest toilet at night when i sleep or no one home. janji got airflow. if open window make sure they cant get out. got some nice cats there. can swing by. give them a chance. no need pure breed or whatever. just find a cute cat you can support. i picked up a comot cat which wasnt popular. such a charming sweet cat. i never raise breed cats cause they so damn needy.

6-7 months.

yeah lah. but bengal is damn wild. thats why i didnt take. sure climb the curtains and stuff.



i think only for dogs.

been raising adopted cats since young. normal in our family.

the fee is including with deworm and neutered? yup. neuter, deworm (3x), vaccination (3x)

how you cope with shedding? need to comb. but if short hair still ok. long hair shed a lot.

how you cope with smelly feces. you clean everyday lah. other ways is to buy the enclosed litter tray.

you cat totally indoor cat? yup.

will cat will destroy my cloth hanging openly. nope. just give them other toys.

on purpose? i kena once cause cat standing inside box but crap outside of the box.... tak perasan kot...

...

i guess cheapest way is buy whiskas in bulk bags. also buy cat sand in bulk. for vet, go to govt vet. can also mix their food with rice which also lower cost. not practical to raise 9 cats unless you have a large space though... also not good for your health if no purifier or good ventilation in the home.

get some advise from vet or go to a pet store to ask. normally small kitten need milk and lots of care. they will get you a bottle and milk formula for the kitten.

never use anti flea collar.

... that seems a bit unhealthy LOL. my one cat beraks already so damn smelly. 11... dang.

pi merantau. will be back. maybe...

yes. they do have nice cats. the back lane of the spca thing i think is for cats who have been neutered recently. thats where i got my cat. also check out petfinder. many pretty cats out there.
