Meaningful moments with these animal lovers. 🙌 🐈
Photoshoot session with @gold.d_my at @themajestichotelkl with beautiful stray cats named Momma, Lolla and Bro that were left behind and adopted by @katzencatsanctuary. These beautiful creatures have their own terrible tragedy and heart breaking stories. Luckily they were found by beautiful souls. 🐈
If you want to have a cat/cats, please adopt from their shelter or any animal shelter that really care for animals and don't put the animals to sleep if they are not adopted. 🐈
Do show your support @gold.d_my and @katzencatsanctuary by following their real life journey at their page with their adopted stray cats and remarkable movement. 🐈
It's not easy to care for little creatures that people threw away, bullied and abondoned. It's not easy to care for sick, incomplete, imperfect little creatures. 🐈
If you know how hard it is and it can be, lend a helping hand by becoming a volunteer and support their products which will help the animals in return. If each of us saves a stray life, the world is a better place for you and the 'stray that you save'. Remember that.🙌 🐈
Don't buy, adopt. Care for animals. Cruelty free. 💝🐈
Thanks for supporting Gold-D, Katzen Cat Sanctuary, animal shelters, stray animals and helping helpless animals around the world. ❤❤❤

how to adopt a cat from a shelter 在 Daphne Iking Facebook 的最讚貼文
Dear friends and followers,
I'm working closely with Downbelow Marine & Wildlife Adventures Sdn Bhd x Ripcurl Malaysia to raise funds for two important charities where 100% of the proceeds will be channelled to the Project AWARE Foundation and SPCA Kota Kinabalu (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Kota Kinabalu).
I really hope to edit the vlog soonest so you can understand my pledge to this campaign. Our oceans are in dire need of conservation efforts and those poor furry friends in the shelter need our help too. I know most times, I try to raise funds for single moms (I was a single mom once, so I know how that felt like) and underprivileged children, but after looking at the adorable cats and dogs all waiting for a home (most of them were abused or abandoned pets but have since been rescued, vaccinated and neutered (cats)), I can't help but lend my voice so the people can continue their good work sheltering and helping these poor babies.
And if you plan to have pets,
1. Please be responsible. They aren't toys. They need lots of love and attention too.
2. Please choose to adopt a cat or dog from SPCA KK (or other animal shelters around your area) instead of buying.
Lots of love,
Daphne

The shelter manager's letter:
"I am posting this (and it is long) because I think our society needs a huge wake-up call.
As a shelter manager, I am going to share a little insight with you all - a view from the inside, if you will.
Maybe if you saw the life drain from a few sad, lost, confused eyes, you would change your mind about breeding and selling to people you don't even know - that puppy you just sold will most likely end up in my shelter when it's not a cute little puppy anymore.
How would you feel if you knew that there's about a 90% chance that dog will never walk out of the shelter it is going to be dumped at - purebred or not! About 50% of all of the dogs that are "owner surrenders" or "strays" that come into my shelter are purebred dogs.
No shortage of excuses
The most common excuses I hear are:
We are moving and we can't take our dog (or cat).
Really? Where are you moving to that doesn't allow pets?
The dog got bigger than we thought it would.
How big did you think a German Shepherd would get?
We don't have time for her.
Really? I work a 10-12 hour day and still have time for my 6 dogs!
She's tearing up our yard.
How about bringing her inside, making her a part of your family?
They always tell me:
We just don't want to have to stress about finding a place for her. We know she'll get adopted - she's a good dog. Odds are your pet won't get adopted, and how stressful do you think being in a shelter is?
Well, let me tell you. Dead pet walking!
Your pet has 72 hours to find a new family from the moment you drop it off, sometimes a little longer if the shelter isn't full and your dog manages to stay completely healthy.
If it sniffles, it dies.
Your pet will be confined to a small run / kennel in a room with about 25 other barking or crying animals. It will have to relieve itself where it eats and sleeps. It will be depressed and it will cry constantly for the family that abandoned it.
If your pet is lucky, I will have enough volunteers that day to take him / her for a walk. If I don't, your pet won't get any attention besides having a bowl of food slid under the kennel door and the waste sprayed out of its pen with a high-powered hose.
If your dog is big, black or any of the "bully" breeds (pit bull, rottweiler, mastiff, etc) it was pretty much dead when you walked it through the front door. Those dogs just don't get adopted.
If your dog doesn't get adopted within its 72 hours and the shelter is full, it will be destroyed.
If the shelter isn't full and your dog is good enough, and of a desirable enough breed, it may get a stay of execution, though not for long. Most pets get very kennel protective after about a week and are destroyed for showing aggression. Even the sweetest dogs will turn in this environment.
If your pet makes it over all of those hurdles, chances are it will get kennel cough or an upper respiratory infection and will be destroyed because shelters just don't have the funds to pay for even a $100 treatment.
The grim reaper
Here's a little euthanasia 101 for those of you that have never witnessed a perfectly healthy, scared animal being "put-down".
First, your pet will be taken from its kennel on a leash. They always look like they think they are going for a walk - happy, wagging their tails. That is, until they get to "The Room".
Every one of them freaks out and puts on the breaks when we get to the door. It must smell like death, or they can feel the sad souls that are left in there. It's strange, but it happens with every one of them. Your dog or cat will be restrained, held down by 1 or 2 vet techs (depending on their size and how freaked out they are). A euthanasia tech or a vet will start the process. They find a vein in the front leg and inject a lethal dose of the "pink stuff". Hopefully your pet doesn't panic from being restrained and jerk it's leg. I've seen the needles tear out of a leg and been covered with the resulting blood, and been deafened by the yelps and screams.
They all don't just "go to sleep" - sometimes they spasm for a while, gasp for air and defecate on themselves.
When it all ends, your pet's corpse will be stacked like firewood in a large freezer in the back, with all of the other animals that were killed, waiting to be picked up like garbage.
What happens next? Cremated? Taken to the dump? Rendered into pet food? You'll never know, and it probably won't even cross your mind. It was just an animal, and you can always buy another one, right?
Liberty, freedom and justice for all
I hope that those of you that have read this are bawling your eyes out and can't get the pictures out of your head. I do everyday on the way home from work. I hate my job, I hate that it exists and I hate that it will always be there unless people make some changes and realize that the lives you are affecting go much farther than the pets you dump at a shelter.
Between 9 and 11 MILLION animals die every year in shelters and only you can stop it. I do my best to save every life I can but rescues are always full, and there are more animals coming in everyday than there are homes.
My point to all of this is DON'T BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER PETS DIE!
Hate me if you want to - the truth hurts and reality is what it is.
I just hope I maybe changed one person's mind about breeding their dog, taking their loving pet to a shelter, or buying a dog. I hope that someone will walk into my shelter and say "I saw this thing on Facebook and it made me want to adopt".
That would make it all worth it."
