Monthly Adoption Drive is here!

The monthly adoption drive organized by Pet Lovers Center & Cat Welfare Society is here again! The next drive will be 3rd June @ VivoCity starting from 3pm - 8pm. If you are keen on adopting an awesome pet, don't miss this! I believe that there are many people that will say "Oh, i will prefer to adopt a dog instead as dogs are more loyal, fun and can train them."  Let me tell you this, having a cat is one of the most awesome experience I've ever had. From young, I always wanted a dog and
I had 2 of them:

1 is given by a total stranger I met at a playground when I was in Primary 3. This stranger just approach me and ask if I would like to adopt her dog. I forgot the breed but as a kid who always like dogs, I did not think much and brought it home. You can imagine the face of my mum when I brought it home that faithful day. So my mum being so kind, told me that she will allow us to keep the dog if we promise to take care of it. Clean it's poo and pee, bring it out for a walk, feed it, bathe it etc... So I happily agreed to the T&C. But guess what, after about a month or 2, I began to have 2nd thoughts. As I do not know how to train the dog, it pees & poos all over my house. And at the last straw, my mum could not take it and decided to give it up for adoption. I was so sad that day that the dog was taken away.  :(

And the 2nd dog was actually helping my cousin to take care of him for her friend. I was in secondary school then and my cousin asked if i can help to look after this dog for a few week for her friend. I still remember that it is a mongrel and it was limping when it walks. So excitedly, I agreed to help to look after him. This dog will follows me where ever i go.. even to the toilet, he will sit outside and wait for me. When I sleep, he will wants to sleep beside my bed. At that point of time, I felt that my privacy has been intruded >.< .... So after 1 week, i cannot really take it and ask my cousin to bring him back :( ... looking back, I wish I would have kept that dog instead.Seriously, I think her friend did not really took care of the dog and intend to abandon him. Because when I ask my cousin to take back the dog, the owner was not very willing.

Ok, so my childhood is all about encounters with dogs. Never have i thought that i would own a cat someday. The decision to get a cat is when my mum retires and i feel that having a pet for her will help to keep her company at home when we are not around. So, the 1st cat came into my life and my mum named her "Mimi". Mimi was given by my friend as his cat gave birth to a litter. She had brown, white and black fur, a turquoises cat as many will call. Sadly, she fell to her death when she ran outside of the house and fell through a hole at the corridor. That experience was scary.. I still remember that faithful night. I was devastated :(. After a few month of setting down, we decided to adopt another. This time is a stray rescued by one of the rescuer. It is also turquoises in color and my mum named her "Sweetie". Don't ask me why their names are so.. uhm.. So, sweety came into our lives. My mum thinks that she will be lonely, so my brother decided to get a cat to accompany her. So, they went to a pet shop this time and get a Rag doll, and we name him "xiao bai". And so, they mate and had a litter of kittens. She gave birth to a full brown cat (no pics), a black & brown cat (named: Kelly) & a trio color cat (named: bao bei). I gave the brown cat up for adoption as they are too many for us.

So ever since these cats came into my life.. my perspective of cats had changed. Out of all these cats, xiao bai is the closest to me. After i move out of my mum's place, i decided to bring him with me and left the rest with my mum. So now xiao bai being alone, i decided to adopt another one to accompany him. And i went to one of the adoption drive organize by them last sept and i adopted a black & white cat (named: Mika)

I adopted her at the NEX mall adoption drive. :) And she turns out to be such a sweety and gets along real well with xiao bai.

Everyday i go home knowing that they will wait at the door for me and upon seeing me, they will "bare" their belly to me for a tummy rub. And studies shown that stroking a cat will help to reduce stress and anxiety. How not to have such awesome pets to bring joy into your life? Do consider to adopt one if you can and i'm sure they will return you with lots of loves and joy unconditionally. :)
