That's What Friends Are For

It's been another great weekend for SPCA KK as a group of friends came over, volunteering to help a member who is fostering a few cats at her place. Lynne, Arlene, Irene, Jojo & Diane did the cleaning up tasks in no time at all. They even managed to bath all the kittens, making them all sweet smelling and cuddly. 

Clearing off the litterbox and washing & drying them off in the sun afterward

Washing the cats' plates and bowls

Cheez getting a bath! Who says you can't help with charity if you're allergic to cats' hair? That's what masks are for :)

Drying off the kittens with clean towels
Apart from giving their friend a little break from the tasks in keeping the cats' place clean and comfortable for the cats, this is also a way to spend time and get together with each other. A some sort of outing. Arlene was nice enough to bake cupcakes and brought them to share together with tasty sardine sandwiches! Lynne treated everybody with bottles of Coca-Cola & 100 Plus to quench the thirst. What a great way to rest after all the hard work.

That's what friends are for, and this is just another example of teamwork. Friendship and teamwork rocks! If you would like to arrange such an outing with your friends or families, just give us a holler. We would really appreciate it if you could expose your little children to such activities, as the Malay idiom goes: "Melentur buluh biarlah dari rebungnya", translation to English as "to bend a bamboo, do it while it is still a shoot". It means if you want to teach your little children, it is better to do it while they're still young. So nurture your kids on respecting and loving animals, so that they will know how to respect lives, being responsible, caring and loving them in future. Who knows, they may help them to choose their career path when they are all grown up. You could be shaping a future vet in your hands.
