What is sterilisation? Why sterilise?

Submitted by litin on Mon, 12/01/2008 - 01:29

Sterilisation

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.

Cat Fostering & 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?

Submitted by litin on Mon, 12/01/2008 - 01:16

Trap-Neuter-Return-Manage (TNRM)

Trap-Neuter-Return-Manage (TNRM) is 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.

TNRM begins with the trapping of community cats using humane traps. The captured cats are taken to a veterinary clinic where they are sterilised. The sterilised cats are marked so that they can be easily identified, usually by cropping the pointed end of the ear so that it has a square appearance (known as ear tipping) or cutting a notch at the tip or on the side of the ear.

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

Submitted by aloysius on Fri, 08/15/2008 - 18:30

What does CWS do?

The Cat Welfare Society is a non-profit organisation run entirely by volunteers. It is 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 Donations for Community Cat Found with Breathing Problems

Submitted by melissalim on Thu, 01/26/2012 - 23:33

Closed Appeals

This community cat who is about 10 years old has always been found to be sniffling by her caregiver. During the rainy season at the end of 2011, her condition worsened and her caregiver discovered her with breathing problems and a lack of appetite. Her situation deteriorated to the point where she had to use her mouth to breathe.
