SAMA - Spay Adopt Manage Assist - Society

💙 At SAMA, we are first and foremost a neutering society. Our work is to prevent suffering by controlling the cycle of stray births.

But sometimes, we’re faced with lives we simply cannot walk past.

Recently, we helped a no-income feeder with four cats in his area.
💔 Monkey Face passed away the moment she reached the vet — it was too late to save her.
✨ Ting Ting was thought to have fits, but after medication and monitoring, she was fine and has gone back.
✨ Buck was seen when fetching Ting Ting, he had a terrible wound on his leg, so bad, he was in terrible pain and amputation was nearly the only option. Thanks to weeks of treatment, his leg was saved. He’s now in foster boarding care, as his feeder can’t manage the aftercare and we cant risk flies and maggots
✨Admiral aka Adi – a kitten with two damaged eyes – could never return to the street. He’s safe with a fosterer now, many thanks and is in our adoption programme.

These cases are outside our usual work, but when the need is right in front of us, we cannot turn away. The bills are heavy, the responsibility is real.

🙏 Please consider donating and help us continue saving the ones in front of us when the need arises.

Look at Midas — his beaming face says it all. Just two months ago his little body shook uncontrollably, and he couldn’t even stand. Today he’s zipping around like a rocket, full of life.

This is the miracle of Project Pluto. Fourteen dogs are alive because of a small group who came together. Fourteen souls who would not have made it without sheer hard work, medicines, and care and for those few humans the thankfulness is beyond words. ..But we also carry the heartbreak: six pups and one adult were lost along the way, and each passing wrenched our hearts.

And yet, when you walk into their foster homes now, all you see is joy. These dogs don’t dwell on the suffering — they are simply happy to be alive, safe, and loved.

2 adopted and 12 of them are in good temporary hands but what they need most are forever homes. In just a few days, 11 will complete their vaccinations and they will no longer be shedding, officially ready for adoption. Come meet them. Look into their eyes. You’ll see the deep love and joy of survivors!

This is what it’s like at one of our neutering sites… 🌅 early morning, and again, more cats dumped.
The pain and frustration we face is awful, we feel it mostly alone, no one is catching dumpers. We hope that we can!
The word done means neutered through SAMA.
Way over 77 cats have been dumped in this area alone and they keep on dumping and ruining lives and our project 😭

🚫 Dumping is a crime.
📹 Please help: take videos of any dumpers, share, report.
Pls contact us
📷 If you have CCTVs you can monitor and show us — action only happens if we act together.
If you can drive around and catch people in the act on video

These cats deserve better. Humans must do better.

We try to get the cheapest prices so people can neuter rather than dump whole families or babies... 😭😭

While some enjoy a cozy rainy Sunday morning others heard shots and the wrenching thud of birds dropping to the ground dead...
Heres one of the messages we received...

Is it legal to kill birds??These guys are driving around our area,Tanjung Tokong,shooting at birds.Its raining so a lot of birds are taking shelter under the trees so they are easy targets!!!

Others are saying their pets are scared of the shots fired.

Please read and share some of the research we have done and stop complaining about birds, there are humane ways!
One of which is ask humans not to throw rubbish, just like they dump animals. Its humans that need action not animals.

Reform AWA so animals are protected!

Pigeon Mess & Safety Myths

Claim: Pigeons will always roost where they feed, making the place dirty.
Alternative view: Most pigeons roost elsewhere and only visit feeding spots. Mess can be minimised with controlled, clean feeding practices.

Claim: Pigeon droppings are highly dangerous to humans.
Alternative view: The health risk from droppings to the general public is extremely low. Most people have no contact with fresh droppings, and infections are rare and preventable with basic hygiene.

Claim: Pigeons spread lots of deadly diseases to humans.
Alternative view: The diseases sometimes mentioned are extremely rare and usually affect only those with prolonged, close contact in enclosed spaces (like inside neglected roosts).

Claim: Feeding pigeons creates a huge, permanent mess.
Alternative view: Droppings are greatly reduced when pigeons are fed in open, non-roosting areas with a timed feeding schedule.

Claim: Large numbers of pigeons are uncontrollable without culling.
Alternative view: Humane population control (e.g., limiting food, contraceptive grain, nest management) is more effective long-term than killing, which just makes room for new pigeons to move in.

On Monday, SAMA Waggy Walks Day, 14 wonderful people came out to walk the dogs — what an amazing turnout! 🐾 A huge thank you to our Waggy Walkers, to Hannah for founding, organising and loving the dogs so much and to everyone who pours their love into these gorgeous doggies each week. ❤️

Despite all the Waggy Walks, all the beautiful photos and all the joy these dogs bring, not a single one has been adopted. We’re genuinely surprised, because they are so full of love and would light up any home. ✨

If you can’t adopt, please share their stories. Sharing might be the one missing thing that helps them find their person and forever home.

Let’s not let these beautiful souls go unseen. 🐕💞
Thank you

We are thinking with hope in our hearts of all strays, homeless and voiceless animals who need rights and protection.
For dogs and cats we believe in TNR and if done properly without dumpers it really works!
For all animals may they live in peace and harmony in this beautiful country which is theirs too.
Every development takes away from them and they never complain yet people complain about them.
Please feel for them, stand for them and at the very least dont complain about them and NEVER hurt them.
With massive love for them, SAMA

In an earlier post we said a cat named Jessie would be returned to her place, where she’d be well cared for. But in the end, all of us just couldn’t do it. She’s so very small and with only one eye (we don’t know how she lost the other), she seemed too vulnerable. Having just given birth, with all her babies adopted by outlets in her area, she’s also a little depressed. Although the spot was safe for a big cat, it just wasn’t right for her. So Jessie has now come under our care. (Save the one in front of you 🤷🏼‍♀️)
Thank you to all who have cared for her up until now and for the food donation. 💜

Although returning cats is what we do as part of TNR and because adoptions are so few. But the most ideal would be for every animal to have a home. If people adopted, we wouldn’t even have to be doing Trap Neuter Return it would be Rehome. Still, neutering is the safest, kindest thing, we must stress this. Without it, cats and dogs risk pyometra (a deadly infection) and cancers. So please don’t say, “Oh, let them be, let them sow their oats.” You can sow your oats while neutered and keep them from dying in the process. Neuter, neuter, neuter.

From our low income feeder’s cats:
🐾 Admiral the one-eyed kitten has a fosterer thank you so much.
🐾 Another, Buck, is still at Cuddles. He cannot be returned until his wounds are fully healed, only then can we return him safely, without risk of maggots. He nearly lost his leg wandering around untreated. The feeder could not help, so once again, the bill has fallen on us, and it is massive.

And as if that weren’t enough, little Japa and Jalaska from the JLT Project are now down with horrible ringworm. More expense, more treatment, more work.

We can only hope people will continue to share and support. We can only wish people would stop dumping and start adopting. Truly, it is horrendous what rescuers have to go through every single day.
On a good note little Midas from.Project Pluto had his 2nd vac this morning. Hes doing very well and ready for adoption too!

Our Alice Project (AJP) has now nearly reached its conclusion — and it has been one of the smoothest, fastest programmes we’ve ever run. Thanks to the feeder’s efficiency and dedication, with the support of SAMA, a total of 26 cats will have been neutered with 7 in today but Yippee still has flu so KIV till better.

That will be 26 cats who wont contribute to the cycle of suffering. 26 cats × 14 (average) kittens in 12 months is over 360 kittens prevented in just one year alone.

The feeder told us: “Catching them really took everything out of me, but it was worth it. Every time SAMA steps in to help, it reminds me I am not alone.” Her words capture exactly why we do what we do — so no one ever feels alone in this journey, and the cats can have a safer future.
And...several AJP cats already have fosterers.

We want to say a very special thank you to Alice, whose generosity made this project possible and to her friend who reached out to her, your kindness will not be forgotten. 🙏
We also thank for their charity prices and working with us so well.
We understand not everyone can fund a project but everyone can share so we thank all those who do.

Another good news is not only the swift work of the feeder but also there was no dumping!
Dumping has delayed and ruined so many of our projects.
And that is why we cant say where this project is so people wont dump.
Isnt that really sad...

To all who wish to help: even if you cannot be on the ground, a share, a kind word, or a donation makes a difference. And if you would like to support a project, we would be honoured to name it after you, or create a subsidy project in your name.

As we continue covering area by area, we truly can make a mark in reducing the number of homeless cats. Together, bersama SAMA we can change lives. ❤️🐾

🇲🇾✨ Happy Merdeka! ✨🇲🇾

Today we celebrate our National day, freedom and independence.

Yet for so many animals, freedom is a complicated thing. Some are “freed” onto the streets when they never wished to be… and many others are not free when they long to be.

This Merdeka, we hope that animals’ rights will one day be part of the conversation of freedom — because true independence should include compassion for every life.

From all of us, we wish you a joyful Merdeka Day. 💙❤️💛 what a wonderful country where so many cultures are united and animals are being included and mentioned more and more. Lets stand proud for all of us 2 legged and 4, feathered and finned!
MERDEKA! ❤️💙🤍

Project Alice AJP is going full steam ahead! 🚀🐾
We are now up to 16 cats, including three more in today — such wonderful progress thanks to the feeder!

A very big thank you goes to one of our kind donors, who purchased food through our webpage, samapenang.org arranged for it at a pet shop, and left it ready for pickup. We’ve shared this food with various feeders, including the cats from AJP, to help them recover from their neutering surgeries and to support other strays in need.

Every donation — whether food or funds for neutering — makes a huge difference. We always try to share things fairly, giving back whenever we can to those who are actively helping on the ground.

Your support means the world to us. Together, we are proving that TNR is the most important step we can take to reduce suffering, while making sure the ones already on the streets are safe and cared for.

🙏 Thank you for standing with us on this journey.

Two and a half months ago, some SAMAritans were dining at a very nice restaurant when they discovered that one of the beautiful cats there had just given birth.

The restaurant team had already been caring for her — feeding her well and keeping her safe. The location was good too: away from busy roads, with grass and quiet surroundings, a safe friendly place to live if you have to be a community pet.

We can’t mention the name of the restaurant, not because they don’t deserve thanks, but because sadly, people might dump more cats there. To the restaurant people: you know who you are and we are very thankful to you. 💚

At first, when we heard mummy cat Jessie was ready for neutering, we were worried that her babies might wander off looking for her and get lost or upset. But everything worked out beautifully. The surrounding outlets have adopted her little ones, and Jessie herself has gone for her surgery and is recovering at Animal Hospital. Afterwards, she’ll return to the same safe place, cared for and loved.

All’s well that ends well — and this story is a shining example of how things can be done. 🐾 If businesses care for their strays, people can adopt the kittens, the mothers can be neutered through SAMA charity price and live safe, happy lives as a companions and guards!
Once neutered they wont let other cats come in!

🙏 Thank you to everyone who helped catch Jessie, sponsor her and continue feeding her. We are so thankful. May this story inspire more outlets to follow this example.

Please share this lovely tail so that kindness can spread. 🌸
