Stacy Cheong’s life has witnessed a complete change over the past one year, for a good cause. The 35-year-old has been spending all her free time and extra money caring for stray cats and dogs.

It all started when she took in an abandoned poodle that was in really bad shape from her hometown in Kuantan, Pahang, in Aug 2019.
