A few ground rules and definitions that keep the forum useful, fair, and safe for every member.
A rescue story should describe a specific situation where an animal was in need and someone stepped in to help. This includes emergency pickups from roadsides, animals surrendered by owners who could no longer care for them, and cases where a volunteer coordinated with a shelter to rehome a pet. Stories that simply describe a pet living happily at home are better suited for the general discussion boards.
Yes, and we encourage it. Regular feeding updates belong in the neighborhood programs section, where members can share schedules, locations, and tips for managing feeding stations. If you notice a health concern or a new litter, please flag it in the veterinary advice thread so experienced caregivers can respond with practical guidance.
These threads are moderated by a small group of experienced caregivers, including two long-time foster coordinators and a retired veterinary assistant. They review responses for accuracy and flag anything that could be harmful if followed without professional consultation. The forum does not replace in-person veterinary care, and urgent cases should always go to a clinic directly.
Lost-and-found posts require a clear photo, the area where the animal was last seen, and a contact method. Moderators check that the post includes these details before it goes live. Found animals are cross-referenced against active lost reports, and members are encouraged to update their posts once the animal is home so the board stays current.
Fundraising posts are limited to registered shelter partners and approved foster groups. Individual members can share links to verified campaigns, but the post must include a breakdown of how the funds will be used. The forum does not handle money directly, and all donations go through the organization listed in the post.

Moderators check messages daily from 9:00 to 18:00 (MYT). Rescue alerts are answered around the clock.
Start by posting in the lost and found board with a clear photo and the exact location. Include any details about the animal's condition, such as visible injuries or whether it seems friendly. Our moderators and nearby volunteers usually respond within a few hours to coordinate a safe approach. If the animal is in immediate danger, call us directly at +60 15 504 7806 so we can prioritize the case.
Yes, and you do not need prior experience. We match first-time fosters with a mentor who walks you through the setup, feeding routines, and basic health checks. The main requirements are a spare room or secure space, patience, and a willingness to learn. Many of our current foster volunteers started with zero background and now handle multiple animals at a time.
Take a photo and post it on the lost and found board right away, including the street or neighborhood where you found the animal. Check for a microchip at a nearby vet clinic if possible. Keep the animal in a safe, quiet space while you wait for responses. Do not assume it is abandoned; many pets simply wander off and their owners are searching nearby.
Volunteers under 16 can join with a parent or guardian, especially for feeding programs and community events. Older teens can participate in shelter visits and transport coordination with written consent. There is no upper age limit, and we have active volunteers in their seventies who handle administrative tasks and phone support from home.
Each drive is planned with a local vet clinic that offers reduced rates for community animals. Volunteers register cats and dogs in advance, manage the waiting list, and transport animals to the clinic on the scheduled day. We post the calendar on the forum at least three weeks ahead so members can sign up for specific shifts or sponsor an animal's procedure.
A coordinator reviews your application and schedules a short home visit, usually within a week. We check that your living space is safe for the specific animal and that everyone in the household agrees on the adoption. After approval, you meet the animal at a neutral location or the foster home. The final step is a trial period of two weeks before the paperwork is completed.
