Less Cats Sent In To SPCA

An article on Today which featured an interview with SPCA says that there are lesser cats being surrendered to SPCA last year. This has been attributed to the effectiveness of TNRM currently being practiced in Singapore.

SPCA could put down the animals surrendered to them in 24 hours due to a limitation on facilities as they take in more than 800 animals a month - too many animals, so little space.

As for cats being removed by pest control engaged by Town Councils and property management, the cats are sent to AVA, which means they would be put to sleep in 3 days.

The Cat Welfare Society advocates the humane practice of Trap-Neuter-Return-Management as a more effective way to control the population of community cats in Singapore.

We certainly hope to see an increase in tolerance for the cats living amidst us, as we aim to chip off the misconceptions about community cats bit by bit, through more awareness programmes targetted at the public. :)
