Little Simsim survived

by Samiha
(Egypt)

We found simsim in a pet shop in Egypt in poor condition. She was only 1 month old and put for sale! The mother had been sold and she has been deprived of her milk and cares! Unfortunately the conditions in which animals are kept in many pet shops in the middle east are appalling and heart breaking...: (


We took her home and she was so much in need of a cuddle and motherly warmth. She slept on my heart all the time to feel the heart beat. after a couple of days she fell so ill, refusing food, vomit and diarrhoea until she had to be taken to a vet and receive fluid intravenous. She spent a month at the vet clinic.

Now lovely Simsim is back to her home and is more affectionate and playful than ever. Too much playful! She has a very joyful character and always in need of cuddles and contact.

We love you sweet simsim! (she is about 3 months old now).

 Pet shops in ME
by: Samiha

Once in Alexandria, Egypt, I entered two pet shops. The cats and poppies were under the effects of narcotics, they were sleepy and dizzy, the shop had loud disco music.

I felt like crying, I asked the shop assistant to lower the music and look in what condition the pets are.

He replied it is not his shop!!

If I could I would buy them all, but it is not a solution. There should be a law that regulates animal's treatment, but unfortunately there is.

It is so strange as Islam condemns strongly cruelty to animals, as referred in the saying of our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, regarding a woman who locked up a cat, refusing to feed it and not releasing it so that it could feed itself. The Prophet Muhammad said that her punishment on the Day of Judgment will be torture and Hell.

For more information about kind treatment of animals in Islam there is this article:

May Allah revenge all these poor creatures.

HI there,

I am nearly in tears reading about the plight of little Simsim and other poor unfortunate animals in such pet shops around the world. I am so glad that you were able to take her and care for her. She looks a real cutey.

Enjoy and love the little darling.
