Hi, my boyfriend and I would like to call her Tempy - as we first met her near the temple and we hope that divine powers and miracles will continue to watch over her as she grows up ..
Although Pepper didn't make it, he received tender loving care before he passed on. He could have been tossed into a dumpster if he weren't discovered by Clauda and Do on the grass by the road on 07-11-2009.

This rare kitten found by Sophia along Sengkang West Ave on 31st Oct 2009 9.30 am after a previous night of heavy rain. She brought him to Dr. Kasey Tan @ Mt Pleasant Clinic (Springside) for a check. According to Dr. Tan he was few days old but in good health & shape.
He was taken in by a lady to foster but "unfortunately" that lady claimed that her children has allergy therefore couldn't help anymore. She even tried rehoming him.
Sophia emailed MC and Caren told her to call me :) so Bravo was handed to me on Saturday 14th November 2009 afternoon. The caregiver who cared for him probably did not have much experience handling him. Milk fed all came out through the nose due too much at one go. This may choke him.
Bravo is lucky in a way, he inherited the bottle of liquid synermune Colostrum from Rosy-J.
He is a very good baby like big sister Omi. No problem feeding and cleaning him. Now we feed him 4 times a day, I will feed before I leave for work, Terry will feed the 3 pm n 7 pm slots. I will give last feed at midnight. Hope he will grow up as playful and as healthy as sister Omi. :)
I will forward his photos by MMS.
Thanks
Sy
If you would like to adopt Bravo (after he is able to eat on his own), please send an email to mettacatsg@gmail.com
Are Calico Cats Always Female? Can a calico cat ever be male? Yes, in rare instances. In this situation, the cat has two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome (XXY). Cats with this chromosomal configuration are usually sterile (not able to breed). This is similar to a condition in humans called Klinefelter's syndrome, or XXY Syndrome.
Background: 10-11-2009 - In the early hours of the morning, an abandoned kitten, hungry and cold, thought the warm engine compartment of a car parked in a HDB car park, was a safe place to seek refuge. Fortunately his loud cries were heard. SPCA was contacted and a rescue personnel arrived at the car park within an hour. By then the engine compartment was silent. Has the kitten run off?
At 7pm, shrill kitty meowing was heard amidst the laughter of a group of kids aged about 8 to 10 years of age. One girl was carrying a kitten with a piece of cloth. They found this kitten on the tree just outside the car park. This must be the kitten hiding in the car's engine compartment in the morning!
He was vaccinated at Pet Clinic by Dr Robin Au at about 9pm.
10-11-2009 The early moring was cold. Abandoned, lost and hungry, this tabby kitten sought the wrong "refuge" of a warm car engine in a HDB car park. Fortunately he has a loud voice despite being just a tiny 3-month kitty and his presence was noted. He ran off by the time the SPCA rescue man came. In the evening, he w...as found by a group of kids on a nearby tree. Again his loud meowing was heard by a caregiver who was searching for his at about 7pm in the evening. Would the kids just "play" with him somewhere and then discard him again? The caregiver took the kitten from the kids, fed him some food and brought him to a vet for vaccination. He is now being fostered for a good home. He is totally comfortable in the presence of human beings, a sure sign that the he grew up in a human home but unceremoniously dumped!!
14-11-2009: Fussie used the litter-bin from day 1 in the fosterer's home. He took a long time to cover his poo, hence he was name "Fussie"! From yesterday, he decided to stop "scolding" the other fostered kittens and have started to play with them!
MettaCats is a volunteer group that aims to provide care for sick and abused animals. The word "Metta" means loving kindness and the name embodies the special bond that is shared between humans and animals.
The ultimate objective is to rehome all rehabilitated cats and enable them to lead a comfortable life.
MettaCats adalah pertubuhan yang mempunyai misi untuk memelihara kucing yang sakit dan didera. Perkataan "Metta' bermakna kasih sayang dan nama yang menghubungkan ikatan istimewa antara manusia dan haiwan. Objectif utama ialah menyediakan tempat tinggal dan rumah pemulihan bagi memberi harapan baru dalam hidup. Conseling dan perkhidmatan lanjutan juga disediakan bagi memudahkan pengambilan kucing-kucing ini.
There are now more than 100 cats boarding at metta cattery. The cattery is also giving shelter to a few dogs. The care-givers are a handful of cat lovers who volunteer their spare time. Daily tasks include general house-keeping, medicating ill cats and finding homes for them. Many have found good homes.
The volunteers also care for cats in the last lap of their lives, ensuring comfort till the last breath. The volunteers also shoulder the boarding fee, purchase of food/litter as well as vet fees.
Reward for the volunteers is the joy of seeing the cats recover and playing happily in the cattery. Bonus is to see a cat adopted to a permanent loving home.
The care of the cats and other animals at mettacattery is dependent on just a handful of care-givers who are all volunteers with full time jobs. The wish to help every cat and kitten in distress is limited by the lack of people offering hand-on help and the size of the cattery. Taking in any more cat or kitten will be taxing for the current volunteers on whom the lives of more than 120 cats and a few dogs depend.
MettaCats is a non-profit animal welfare group, hence the day to day running of the cattery depends largely on the sponsorship by volunteers and members of the public.
Thus we sincerely appeal for sponsorship of the following items:
Pet food (for both cats and dogs)
Rice
Anti-bacterial floor detergent
Kitchen Paper towels
Scratching posts
Metal eating bowls
Animal Carriers
Animal medication
Old towels
Contact us for more details regarding sponsorship.
Our volunteers are available to pick-up the items at your convenience and your generosity will greatly benefit the cattery and animals.
