PETALING JAYA: Sitting cross-legged on the sofa with spools of yarn scattered all around her, veterinarian Dr Yasmin Rozaidi watches in amusement as her cat excitedly tugs on the yarn as she crochets a customer’s order of kitty coasters.
According to Yasmin, the idea behind Three Kats came about last year in March during the first MCO when residents of her condominium demanded the management take action against the number of stray cats roaming freely in the compound. While the plan was good in theory, the actual process of rehoming was tough. So, to sweeten the deal, each adopted cat is sent to its forever home with a batch of cat-friendly cupcakes and biscuits.
“We had cases in the past where the owners did not bring the cats back to be spayed. So now, I make sure the spaying is done before rehoming.”Apart from baking cat treats, Yasmin crafts cat trees as well for sale. However, the second MCO early this year disrupted this endeavour. Apart from a shortage of building materials, travel restrictions made it tough for her to deliver the products to her customers.
“If my customer loves the product, then I’ll sell it but in a different colour. I never restock the same yarn colour so it’s always different even for the cat toys — no two are alike.”Three Kats also works with Winners Pet Plaza, a pet store in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, to help rehome stray cats they find.
But this veterinarian hopes to hang up her stethoscope for good someday and focus on expanding Three Kats’s business instead.
