7 years ago today, Ken Ken passed away from late stage FIV.
Ken Ken as a FIV+ abused com cat. Someone poured hot liquid on his back, resulting in a very huge scar. We adopted him because a senior FIV+ cat with a huge scar makes him very unlikely to be adopted.
He was am amazing cat and we are very happy to have adopted him!
He as our first FIV+ cat, and he inspired us to find ways to care and protect FIV cats. That led to the founding of the Gold-D brand.
Here you can see him enjoying the Gold-D kibbles co founded by him!

Ken Ken is the co-founder of Gold-D brand and he is enjoying his own dry food. It has pre and probiotics, salmon oil, etc to keep him healthy. Ken Ken if FIV...

Teddy wishes everyone a happy Dec. How times flies and 2024 is ending!
Since January 2024, we have rescued/adopted 29 cats, 1 dog, and 2 rabbits. The animals we rescued or adopted all had health issues, which made them unlikely to be adopted or required expensive or time-consuming medical care.
When we adopt, we look after them for life.
We have met and befriended many new friends and rescuers along the way. (a few monsters too but that's life)
When we adopt them, we give them the care they need so that they can enjoy happy, healthy, and high-quality lives.
For this, we thank our customers for your support in making this possible!
This journey can be stressful, but seeing them happy is worth it! Thank you and a very happy Dec to everyone.

Two years ago, Sammy fell and broke his pelvis. We sent him to A&E and told his owner Sammy's condition after we found them. All we got was "Cannot be" followed by a long string of vulgarity.
That was when we realized that they were unwilling to take responsibility. After surgery, Sammy needed a lot of care and may need another surgery so we adopted him.
Sammy has healed completely, and today, we are celebrating his 6th birthday.
We are so proud of Sammy, and everyone is so happy for him!

Today is Uncle Rob's birthday. He left us in 2021 but we still remember him and love him.
WE adopted Uncle Rob because his ex-owner took him to the vet to put him down. The vet did not find anything medical reason to do that so the family said he is smelly.
Uncle Rob became our cats' doting grandpa and is not smelly. He was never smelly!

In Nov 2018, Uncle Rob's ex-owners wanted to euthanize him and the reason was, he is "smelly". To save Uncle Rob, we adopted him.We enjoyed 3 very happy year...

Sammy is the cat who fell and broke his pelvis. We rescued him and sent him for surgery. After being discharged, he needed cage rest and was still in pain. Dillion would encourage Sammy and assure him.
Dillion had nerve generation and became bed ridden.
Sammy would stay by him and let him know everyone loves him.
Rescue work can be stressful and even depressing.
But moments like this puts things into perspective.
It is all worth it!

When animals are rescued, they become part of the rescuer's value system and may end up being put down even if they can recover.
That is why this year's Vesak theme is animals as fellow beings. This means we treat the rescued animals with respect and as fellow beings. The approach is to offer them support to get well or be comfortable, not as a "rescue" that we do as we please.
This video for Vesak 2024 explains it.

To celebrate Vesak Day, our message for 2024 is Animals as Fellow Beings. We promote the idea of seeing animal as sentiment beings who has feelings, thoughts...

Our first FeLV+ rescue was Rahula. He recuperated after we rescued him, he lived for another 8 months, and passed away of cancer.
When he was leaving, we told him not to worry about us and to let go of his body. We also tell him we will always love and never forget him.
So when our rescue friends rescued several FeLV cats, we decided to set up a FeLV sanctuary and we named it Rahula FeLV Sanctary in memory of Rahula. We love him and we miss him and the best way to honour him is to rescue other FeLV cats in his memory.

Rahula FeLV Sanctuary was set up in 2020. 2 years have passed by and we take a look at what we have done, our hopes, and revisit the initial motivation to se...

Gold-D wet food and treats are all carrageenan-free.
Recently, we stopped the jelly range because the supplier of carrageenan-free ingredients discontinued it. We have found a new supplier and are evaluating it now.
We have many FIV and FeLV cats and they have a higher chance of cancer. But it is an ingredient that no animals should be exposed to because cancer is usually not reversible by the time we discover it.
We mention carrageenan-free on all of our labels.

Author Ingrid King, who is also a former veterinary hospital manager and veterinary journalist, has expressed concern over the presence of carrageenan.

This is Sawyer T. Rabbit, our cat CEO.
Rabbit is FIV+ and a community cat. In 2019, he was found by a rescue group and they wanted to put him down because they felt he looked very sick and dying. We are against convenience euthanasia so we adopted him. It took a while before he warmed up to us and he bloom into a very adorable, happy and healthy cat.
Today, we are so happy to celebrate his 13 birthday. We got him a longevity peach, a traditional Chinese birthday pastry used for grandparents.
Happy birthday precious Rabbit!
