PETALING JAYA: A stint with breast cancer has not stopped Shima Aris from continuing to rescue dogs and cats, even from the backyards of cruel breeders.In fact, it was cancer that added more fuel to her passion, said the 43-year-old mother of two, who has 19 cats at home.

“I was diagnosed with cancer in mid-2021 and at the time, I wasn’t rescuing that much. When I was undergoing chemotherapy, one of my rescued dogs died because no one could take her to the vet,” said the fitness trainer and model.
