With regards to the case of the 10 emaciated cats that was reported previously, we are happy to update that the cats are doing well and have been putting on weight. We have made contact with the family that abandoned the cats and have evacuated another 17 cats from their home for sterilisation and treatment. AVA is currently investigating into this case of abandonment and neglect, and we will update when there are new developments.

Of the cats that are currently fostered and cared for, 10 were extremely emaciated. The remaining cats that were evacuated are of decent condition and the suitable ones sterilised. The worst is over as the remaining cats currently still in the flat are doing well and will be gradually sterilised when they are of age. We are working with delicacy towards a pre-agreed number of sterilised cats to be kept under their care and monitored to ensure that the cats can be kept within their means. This is to minimise the risk of them picking up other unsterilised cats in future and spinning out of control again.

Akemi
Some of the cats - including Akemi, featured in this post - are now up for adoption to good and responsible homes that will give them a second chance at life.

Akemi is a beautiful female cross-ragdoll, with a long fur coat that's grey and white. She's about 2 years of age. She has the sweetest round eyes, and is incredibly docile, sweet-natured and just a teensy bit shy (she warms up to you with time and is fond of cuddles). Amongst the rescued Tampines cats under my care, Akemi is the gentlest, daintiest and quietest of them all. She's still skinny, but is in a much better condition than when she'd first arrived - hopefully her new family can bulk her up in time!

We are appealing for adopters for Akemi so that she can be well cared for in a good, responsible home and given a brand new lease of life.

CWS will be screening interested adopters to ensure that these cats can find suitable permanent, loving homes. An adoption fee of $40 per cat will be levied. All adopters need to agree to sterilising the cats before adoption (if of age and as yet unsterilised, or once the cat is of age in future). CWS will then arrange for sterilisation at one of our partner veterinary clinics at a subsidised rate for the adopter.

Should you wish to adopt Akemi and give her a new lease of life, kindly email melissa@catwelfare.org, with the subject header:

Adoption of Tampines Emaciated Cats

and indicating in your email the name of the cat that you are keen on adopting (in this case, Akemi).

Thank you!
