What is sterilisation? Why sterilise?

Sterilisation is the surgical removal of part of the reproductive organs (ovaries and uterus of females and testicles of males) from an animal so that it can no longer reproduce. It is a safe and quick procedure that is performed by a veterinarian. The cat is under general anaesthesia the entire time, so it will not feel any pain. The procedure takes 5-15 minutes and the cat is back to normal in 1-2 days.

How do I put a cat up for adoption?

Our automated system allows you to personally post up details and pictures of the cat.

Firstly, you need to sign up for a user account on the top of this website.

To post up a cat for adoption, upload a good photo and a short write up of the cat, along with its name and your contact details. Our moderator will go through your posting and publish it when everything is in place.

If a potential adopter is interested in the cat that you have posted up - they will contact you directly.

What is TNRM?

Trap-Neuter-Return-Manage (TNRM) is a method being promoted as a humane alternative to euthanasia for managing and reducing community cat populations. TNRM relies on sterilisation of the cats so that they don't breed.

What is the Cat Welfare Society and what do you do?

The Cat Welfare Society is a non-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers, registered in Singapore under the Societies Act in October 1999 and as a Charity as of June 2004. The Society's mission is to save lives through sterilisation. We believe that there are humane, effective ways to control community cat population -- that is, through sterilisation instead of destruction.

URGENT: Seeking Temporary Foster or Permanent Home for Injured Cat

I found and rescued an injured community cat. She is a black cat, extremely quiet and friendly and just loves to be patted.

Currently she is at the vet staying overnight. She has an injured and infected leg. She will need at least 3 weeks of bandage change each day.

The situation is that I have just moved to Singapore and am in the process of looking for a permanent place - where I am staying now has a strict no-pets policy.

URGENT: Seeking Temporary Foster Home for Scatha the Cat

Scatha is a beautiful domestic shorthair cat that one evening, months ago, sauntered into our shophouse and decided to stay. He was about a year old at that time. He seemed to already be toilet trained as he would wait his turn at the toilet door and use the squatting toilet (he would pee inside it!) when his turn came.
