Do you even eardrum, Bro?

Yes, Bro does eardrum. Or he does now, but didn't before.

Bro is a stray male boy who my friend had been street feeding.

Veny is a lovely lady who takes the time to care for the cats in her community, when many others ignore them or see them as pests.

She'd found Bro wobbling around in the road, unable to stand properly.

We got him to who found he had a burst eardrum, most likely from a loud noise.

Poor Bro wasn't used to being confined, but he needed to stay in while his eardrum mended.

Sunset Vet treated him and we also took the opportunity to vaccinate and sterilise him so no little Bros get born into the world, only to suffer.

Bro is now back in his territory and has only a very minor head tilt now.

Thank you Veny for being a good person to kittos like Bro. He's not a cuddle monster, but I think he knows Veny saved him.

And YOU saved him too! Anyone who gave to my vet bill or supports me monthly enabled Bro to get the treatment he needed. A huge thank you.

Another big success, after a wave of other successes lately 🌊

A little Heidi update...

Heidi is doing really well and recovering very fast in her body. She can walk on her previous broken leg (it's already calloused), her blood levels are now close to normal, the anemia is gone and those nasty scabies mites (and eggs) are gone.

She's already looking like a different dog.

Then there's her mind, where her biggest battle has been going on.

She's been shut down since her rescue three weeks ago but is ever so slowly realising that she's safe and the humans around her are there to help. She's still a long way to go but I see a big difference in her eyes already.

I've got some great news coming next week and let's just say it involves my amazing hula hooping hero friend

Heidi has been expertly card for by the lovely vets at and in grateful to all who support my little effort for helping me with the bills.

Bendi is officially adopted! With the best adopters

Bendi is on half of Bendi and Gedig, two sister who were dumped at the temple in April 2024.

Bendi fought a mystery illness and although she was on the ropes at one point, she bounced back with avengance.

Since then, I'd been searching for an adopter, but had no luck for over a year. Finding adopters and worrying about their futures is by far the hardest thing about all this.

So it was the biggest relief when Zara got in touch and offered to adopt her.

Bendi now has the best life thanks to Zara, with long walks and cuddles with her new sister Sachi the German Shepherd.

This is the result I wish I could have for every one of them, and I am so so happy for Bendi.

Bendi's sister Gedig is still waiting for an adopter too, so please get in touch if you're keen.

Have a great life Bendith! It is all so worth it when this happens.

This is Bro, who has just been admitted to after he was found in the street falling all over the place.

He's a stray cat found my friend who also had also worked with me to rescue Truffle, Adek and Emeng in the past.

We didn't know what had happened to Bro. But upon getting him checked out at Sunset Vet Kuta, it turned out he had a burst eardrum. Theres a couple of theories, but most likely, it is that a loud noise did it. It's hard to really know.

Bro had low iron levels (this is common in street cats who dont get a proper diet), and he also has a skin issue too. He wasn't eating and was very disoriented.

It's been a few days of treatment, including anti nausea, IV fluids, appetite stimulants, and supplements, but Bro seems to be improving.

It's going to take a little time for him to recover, so it's an elongated stay in the vet unless I can find a foster (or adopter).

Bro will be fine in the end and I'll make sure he's vaccinated and sterilised before going back to his turf.

It would be great to find him a home, but truth be told, it's unlikely. There just doesn't seem to be enough adopters in Bali and so my process these days is 'Rescue, Treat and Return'. It is not ideal, of course, but it does give these animals a clean bill of health and a fighting chance.

They return in a way better condition than they were found. Bro would have never survived without this treatment.

A big thank you to people who help me monthly and people who gave directly to my Sunset Vet bill. Because of you, Bro has a chance.

I seem to learn something new about Violet every time I meet her. Her eyes are filled with curiosity and intelligence.

I am happy to have been able to give her a life that she deserves. Most pigs will never get to enjoy the things she does - foraging around, having mud baths, and eating nutritious food.

Most pigs never get that chance.
Instead of soil, they walk on concrete.
Instead of real food, they’re fed soy meal to make them grow unnaturally fast.
Instead of care, they’re treated like products.

After all this, most pigs are put in gas chambers, which are pumped with carbon dioxide to kill them.

We are the conquerors of the planet, nature, and all other animals.

As conquorers and the most powerful. We get to choose to do whatever we want and what we use the power for?

We use it to breed animals into existence, giving them unnatural lives, fattening them up, and finally killing them. We've invented machines that have the sole purpose of killing them.

We could choose otherwise, quite easily. It starts with a simple choice to skip the sausage or bacon. Your life will go on, and you'll be fine. And you won't be contributing to their suffering.

But it usually comes down to enjoyment. We seem to enjoy hurting them too much to stop. We get a fleeting taste in our mouth and tell ourselves 'I can't live without it' or 'we're top of the food chain' or something other reason why we can't possibly stop hurting them.

Please take a look into the industries you support and the practices in your country and make your own choice about whether you will extend the hand of kindness or the fist of violence?

You dont have to be perfect...just any choices that reduce your demand for someone to kill an animal for you is a great start.

Thank you for reading and considering being kind to all animals.

This is Heidi.

This poor girl was found in the road, not far from the rescue house. It appears someone dumped her. She's in one hell of a state.

A severely broken femur, full on scabies, dehydration, half starved, anaemia, fungal disease, teeth rotting and some sort of bacterial disease.

How long she held on like this, I dont know. The break is an old one as the bone has calloused, leaving permanent leg damage. She was physically shaking and could not walk when found. Still, she tried with all her might to defend herself, fearing we were just more humans there to hurt her.

She is eight years old.

Heidi has made it past the first couple of days, which is a great sign. She's been shaved and had her first medicated wash. She's realised we won't hurt her, but is current in shut down mode.

Thanks to everyone who is a patron or has supported my vet bill; you are the only reason I was able to bring her in.

Heidi stands a chance now. But animals in the farming industry dont. They always get killed at the hands of humans. Please choose not to be one of those humans and live vegan.

IT'S AN OFFICIAL FOSTER FAIL!

I cannot get over how happy I am to say Channie's foster has been a fail! As in, it's now adoption.

This is a huge relief as homes in Bali have been impossible to find lately. So much that I haven't found an adopter since September. That's all changed now that and her lovely family have taken Channie in.

I've begun to change my plan because what I've been doing hasn't been sustainable on any level - for the dogs themselves or for me. So I'd changed tact to 'Rescue, Treat, Release'.

Channie was dumped on the beach with cancer and I'd accepted that some help was better than no help, with my plan being to return her, whilst continuing to street feed and check up on her.

I know it wasn't an ideal solution, but with no homes for other dogs, I can't just keep adding and adding beyond my ability.

So it was such a relief when Priscilla said that she'd foster and then help to find an adopter.

But it turns out Channie fitted so well in that it only took a few days before that changed and it became an official foster fail.

Channie, may you have the life you always deserved with these lovely people.

Thank you everyone who helped with Channie's bills. It was a lot and without you she'd probably have passed away on the beach. But instead her life has completely changed.

Did you know, animals in the agriculture industry get cancer too? But unlike Channie they're never given full treatment or the ability to live a life that they deserve. It's just one of the many horrific things that happen to animals for pur food. Give it a google or an AI search and ask yourself if you're OK with supporting it.

Thanks to everyone who opens their mind to encompass all animals and chooses a vegan lifestyle.

Remember Georgie, who was thrown in a bin outside the rescue house?

Back in January, someone threw a baby ginger kitten away at the rescue house (literally in the bin outside). Ayu had put her in the empty bird cage initially and I took her straight to the vet.

She was in pretty poor condition, dehydrated and scabby.

But she quickly got the all clear and although her initial adopted fell through, with the help of who introduced me to Georgie has been in foster for the last 5 months.

Now that she's 6 months, Georgie has just been sterilised. Believe it or not, 6 month olds have been known to get pregnant.

A girl, Georgie is a lovely affection little kitty. I had managed to find another home, but for the second time, that has now also fallen through with the adopter changing their mind.

So it's back to square on. Yelena can't foster Georgie much longer so I'm hopefuly Instagram and Facebook and work their magic and help her find an adopter.

Please get in touch if you are interested in being that human for Georgie and thank you!
