Good job to Cat Welfare Society! This year, they managed to get nearly 400 cats sterilized. The response is overwhelming!
The very first Spay Day 2006, the targetted number of cats was 100. 6 years later, it's a 300%
increase. Back in those days, the participants were mainly aunties, nowadays we see a lot more younger people involved in this meaningful event.
Lingcat started trapping 2 days before the Spay Day, 6 trappings and a couple of transports, including a hoarder case, 95 cats from Lingcat for Spay Day 2011.

Hoarder case is the toughest job, 18 cats, and I had to keep a low profile so as not to alert the neighbours. 2 carriers by 2 carrier the cats are carried up and down the stairs.
Clear labels are printed for Spay Day to minimize errors. Thanks goodness, no error so far, Lingcat is left with last 17 girls to be released.

Though extremely exhausted, I am glad that many cats benefited from such event.
Speical mention to the super
macik who looked after the cats when I collapsed with exhaustion after Spay Day!
Lastly special thanks to Clinic for Pets, Light of Life, James Tan Veterinary Hospital and Animal & Avian Veterinary Centre for their help to sterilized the excess cats!!

This handsome tux, White Foot (not a very auspicious name in hokkien, literally translated to 'limping'), you guessed, broke his hind leg.

From the Xray below, the bone has splitted into 3 pieces. Orthopaedic veterinary surgeons are rare and expensive. WF was transferred from clinic to clinic, hoping to meet a kind vet who'll treat him at a cheaper rate. The trusted vets he initially seen are not able to perform such surgery due to lack of facilities and the specialize skills required.

Lingcat has heard about the legendary Dr Hsu from The Animal Clinic. He is well known for his excellent surgery skills and kind heart. Lingcat has not been a regular client as he is hard to get and waiting time is long.
Given the choice of the 3 big players, Lingcat tried her luck with calling The Animal Clinic. WF is blessed, Dr Hsu was on duty. After a not-too-long wait, WF had his initial consult and Dr Hsu kindly schedule him for surgery the next day!

WF has a pin inserted into his bone and tied up with wire. The whole surgery cost less than $500. WF will be boarding with Lingcat for a month before he's released back to his community.

Honey Bear is more like his name, he's the sweetest big boy. I love cats with big jowl. Poor boy had his eye stitched up due to an injury. He has been with Lingcat for a week-and-a-half and will be going back to the vet for review next Tuesday. If everything is fine, he'll be released back to his community.
