Singapore, 10 February 2010 | For Immediate Release

The Cat Welfare Society, together with the Post-Museum, is hosting a week-long art and advocacy event from 21 - 28 February 2010.

The provocatively titled "Tiger Show" welcomes the year of the Mighty Cat in celebration of our humble Community Cats. It will bring together people from all walks of life that have a passion for animal welfare, and most certainly, a soft spot for our feline friends - to gather, to share, to learn and to party!

Cat Welfare Society has had a solid month of fundraising with the LPN Cat Day at Suntec City, the Cat’s Night Out “In Search of the Most Beautiful Domestic Cat” at Jurong Point and that unforgettably tongue-in-cheek STrip “What’s New Pussycat?” campaign.

Besides raising funds for stray sterilisation, these light-hearted occasions gave us a rare chance to let our hair down with other cat groups, volunteers and with the public.

Now the fun is over, it is time to get back down to the serious business of cat welfare.

Perception and policy are barriers in the fight for animal rights in Singapore

Suffer the little critters

When stray cats in Bayshore Park condominium started falling ill nearly two weeks ago from what looked to be a case of mischievous poisoning, cat lovers and animal welfare groups sprang into action.

These are exciting times for cat welfare volunteers, supporters and activists. In the beginning, they started websites, then forums and they blogged. Now more than ever, they have organised themselves into a remarkably coherent voice for the common community cat in our communal void decks and on our collective streets.
