Story of Ken Ken

DOB: 22 Dec 2005
DOA: 26 Jul 2013
RIP: 06 Dec 2017

Ken Ken was a street cat in an industry park in Singapore. As a stray cat, he was always in danger of being rounded up for culling and in danger of abuse.

One day in 2011, the tragedy happened; an extremely cruel person poured hot liquid, either boiling water or oil on Ken Ken.

Lucky for Ken Ken, he was sent for medical treatment and adopted by a Singapore shelter Mettacats.

Ken Ken’s wounds have healed but the scars remained permanently, and the furs never grew back.

Here comes Ken Ken

As a senior FIV+ cat with a scar on his back, Ken Ken’s chances of adoption was extremely low. So, on 26 July 2013, we adopted him.

Ken Ken was extremely well behaved and very affectionate.

Ken Ken and Gold-D

About 6 months later, we decided to get a companion for Ken Ken. Mettacats suggested Gold-D because he was very easy going. Gold-D arrived on 16 March 2014 and after a few days, he bounded with Ken Ken.

Caring for both FIV+ cats, we were very careful with their food. That led to Ken Ken and Gold-D co-founding the Gold-D brand.

Towards the end of 2015, Ken Ken's health began to deteriorate. Ken Ken kept losing weight and he also began to lose his balance. He had several rounds of treatment which managed to stabilise him.

However, his right eye became closed leading to the vet suspecting he may have a tumour or a stroke.

By early December 2017, Ken Ken became weaker and he finally left on the very early morning of 6 Dec 2017.

Ken Ken and Gold-D inspired our documentary “We are not a nuisance!” They also appeared in "The Animal Protection Documentary".

Ken Ken is featured with Gold-D on the Gold-D tuna and anchovy in jelly as co founder of the brand.
