Langkawi it seems has a situation with regards to cats and dogs. They are just everywhere. I find myself finding animals everywhere I go. And for many of those cases, the animals don't look too healthy.
Rail thin kittens, flea bitten dogs, mangy toms abound almost anywhere human habitation or business exist.
I have visited the volunteer run animal sanctuary Langkawi LASSie here near Pantai Cenang, they can be found here http://bit.ly/KKAXep, and they are doing their damnedest best to control the ever increasing population growth. I see many cats and dogs, carrying the signature LASSie treatment mark, which to me at least, suggest that some battles are still being valiantly fought despite the odds.
I am not too sure how long the good guys there can keep it up but bless their kind hearts and willing bodies to take up such an undertaking.
Honestly, I don't understand why some people can keep pets and then when the habit becomes inconvenient, say for instance, they got to move elsewhere, the pet falls ill, the cuteness wears off, the animal grows old and requires incrementally greater care, or others, t he very same people who swears a while ago that they love their pets can blithely abandon their animals.
Frequently I find, to my horror, updates on the FB page of LASSie of some found, abandoned or neglected animal. It breaks my heart.
I am not in a position now to offer more help, but I soon hope to be able to. In the meantime, spare them some care and thought and much needed love and help out any which way you can - Cash, Kind, Support, Words of Encouragement or Helping to spread the word around.

Heya Ange,
I actually secretly pining for Munchkin featured above. I have a natural weakness for Tortie & Whites.
Had one yonks ago and I loved her plenty. Not been able to love a kitty as much I did her since she passed.
If it is my rezeki, Munchkin might just choose me!
