Come, just to spend time with them. You'd never know which cat will pick you and steal your heart. 💘
No better way to enjoy a weekend.

We have been quiet, we have been busy! 😫

Our shelter cats almost all caught cat flu, which is highly contagious. One ah-choo, 🤧 and that's it.

We tried to quarantine as many as we could, but due to the number of cats we have, it's hard to maneuver space.
So it was a week of running to vets for consults as three cats had it more seriously. Alfie had a 42-degree fever and Tortie had a waterfall from her nose.

Still, we have managed to get everything under control, and two new cats were sent to boarding space to prevent further spreading.

We would like to thank Wildflower, Catnap, and Peggy for coming to the rescue by helping us with three new cats.

Our vet bill hit $374.00 last week just for the treatment of flu and diarrhea. We also have another outstanding vet bill for the FeLV+ cat. The bill was $414 for PCR blood tests and other treatments. Additionally, we are covering the cost of external home boarding for the FeLV+ cat.

Rescue work requires more than just energy. It takes a lot of money to rescue the cats - transport, logistics, and cat supplies.If you like the work we do and would like to help us be sustainable, please consider making a small contribution - PayNow to 9387 7877.

So, cat lovers, don't think we are slacking. TNR continues even last week, and we will update soon.

In the meantime, don't forget to take action by helping to sterilize the cats.
Message us if you need to borrow a trap, find a transporter, or even learn how to bait the cat. We are here to help!😻

Many cats are born on the street or abandon by irresponsible owners. TNR is the key to help them.

TRUE STORIES IN OUR INBOX EVERDAY:

Feeders know the cats they are feeding are not sterilized. Does nothing.

Few months later they are in for a ‘surprise’. Actually it is not surprising really, cos they didnt take any action to do prevention.

So they ended up feeding more cats, feel the financial strain, then text rescuers to take in kittens, or take in pregnant cats…

The solution is available. Trap, Neuter, Release. Are you taking action?

Déjà vu?!
Are you wondering why you keep seeing black kittens caught in mouse trap ?

Goodman Road -Case (finally)close after 2 months.💥💥💥💥

This is number 4 of the litter, the elusive one. (All trapped by the house owner and handed to us)

Since 2 months ago, after we TNR the mama cat and rehomed the 3 siblings, she just is nowhere to be found.
But once again, like the others she went into the mouse trap
We have sent her to the vet but feel she is borderline case if she can be spay.
She is frighten and crying, ready to sprint out of carrier.

We can't decide if she is to be TNR OR rehabilitate foe new home 😞
Because we are also running extremely full house
Any fosterers if keen, please contact us.

08/07/2024

We named the mama HANA and her brother/ father of the babies KYO
They were both given away to some auntie in rental block , who didn't sterilise them at due age resulting in in**st- breeding and death of 2 the babies.( this baby has since died this morning)

She is is weak and they both look so sad. They don't understand what's going on, and they are both only 8 months old.

We seen this scenario repeating from 1st owner to 2nd owner. Both are irresponsible.

Giving away free kittens might solve your immediate problem, but it just passes the responsibility to someone else.

When many contact us for spay and neuter help is:"We took this kitten from someone else, but we can't afford to get her spay/ neuter

If you truly care about cats and kittens, please do not give away free kittens to just anyone.
Make sure the mom cat is spayed as soon as possible. ✅
You can rehome kittens responsibly through an adoption process, and I encourage you to seek advice and do it right.

We need to see the bigger picture and work together to ensure that all mom cats and kittens are spayed or neutered before they go to new home or when they are of age.

It is EVERYONE's responsibility to ensure spay/neuter happens.

Hey everyone, it’s me, FINN your friendly Labrador construction stray cat turned superstar!
Can you believe it?
I photobombed my way to the front page of TODAYONLINE

But while you’re here, let me tell you something important.
Read the article about cat abandonment and the incredible work my foster mama and her team of volunteers do to help all of us.
There are so many cat heroes and heroines out there too.

Every weekend, jie jie (big sisters) and gor gor (big brothers) come to help. They clear our p**p p**p, feed us breakfast, and take lots of photos, making us feel like superstars.

These amazing people give us a second chance at life. So, support them, read our stories, and spread the word. Every bit of help counts, and together, we can make a difference for all the stray cats out there.

Thank you, from the bottom of my furry heart.

PS - did I mention that I have snag a new home for myself ?!?! 💘

Many cats are born on the street or abandon by irresponsible owners. TNR is the key to help them.

Comot is discharged from Island Vet today 8th July and has been brought home. A seperate post will be put up. Thank you for being such wonderful cat lovers, full of compassion.

Help Save Comot : A Brave Three-Legged Cat in Need of Urgent Medical Care

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/K368gN7VisoDLoFA/?mibextid=oFDknk

Dear Friends and Animal Lovers,

Some of you might have seen the heartwarming post of this owner who truly loves her cat despite financial difficulties.
They took a loan from friendd & family and used a installment scheme at the first vet which was more than $1000.

After surgery he went home but seems to be doing worse.

After still p*eing blood for 7 days they are at wits ends as they can't afford a 2nd vet consultation.
SPCA Singapore has said they are full and neither can they help a cat in need. 😭😭

We can't bear to see the cat suffer. 😿
We can tell the owners are doing their best.
He is a brave, resilient three-legged cat who has brought so much joy and love into their lives despite his physical limitations.

Currently the cat is warded at Island Vet. We have since put a deposit of $900 so that the vet can start treatment on Comot. His overall bill will be at about 1.9k

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference and bring us one step closer to ensuring Comot receives the care he desperately needs.

Paynow number 93 877 877 [ reference - comot]
We will update post as we go along.
The bills will be updated in the comments as well.

We can save thousands of cats.

All we have to do is to do Trap, Neuter and Release.

Prevent kittens from being born on the streets to die or crushed by cars.

We need you to be part of this movement. Together, we can.



Thank you to our volunteer Serene for creating this collage. 💕

Synergy@KB ( adopted)
Saturday night boggie boogie days are over. This is what we do now:/

An original poster asked for help for a mama cat and her two kittens. Unfortunately, he was told not to feed them, so the mama cat hasn't been seen for a few days, leaving him very worried about the kittens.

We had a long long day sending cats to new homes but at 9pm we decided to swing by to check it out.

Some meowing and the little ones came running out from under a van, clearly nervous and very hungry.

It was heartbreaking to see them darting around among the auto and motorbike repair shops.
They do not belong here !😭😭

Always prepared, we have 2 carriers so we decided to give it a try.

So here we have 2 months old blackies x 2
Seriously we are cracking our brains for names without repeating any from our last 8 years of work.. haha
Suggestions welcome !

Happy weekend !

Update: Both kittens have been ADOPTED***

Adoption Notice:
Two dead kitten and a traumatised mummy cat who had to witness the death of her kittens. These two survived.

One kitten was found crushed under the car wheel, while another was not moving but breathing. Rescuer Jeana rushed the kitten to the vet, but it was too late.

Mummy witnessed the accident as she was at the scene when rescuer Jeanne found the kittens. She was seen nudging and licking the other not-moving kitten and making plaintive cry. It was heart-wrenching.

We managed to secure the 2 surviving kittens and the tuxedo mummy cat. Would you provide a safe home for them?

Pair adoption for the kittens is recommended. Kittens who play with siblings grow up healthier and develop muscles. At 4 weeks, the kittens are adorable and playful. The kittens are eating solid food on their own now.

Mummy cat is a beautiful tuxedo cat and can be adopted as a single cat. She will be sterilised next week and will no longer have to give birth to kittens anymore.

If you are keen to adopt them, please PM us or leave a comment. Please also fill in this form >> https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1eM0ZwMRdYgcoEUVb6vVU_2-8-YpvRFek14f2GnWntcQ/edit

We hope that the deaths of the kittens send an urgent call to cat lovers and feeders - Trap, Neuter and Release is important work. We need to sterilise as many cats as possible to prevent more deaths. No female cats should give birth in public to send their kittens to death.

We are looking to buy more trappers to scale our work. To support us to save more lives, please paynow to 93 877 877 (TNR). The funds will also be used for vet bills, cat food, and litter. Thank you for making our work possible.

Finn adopted to Elaine and Charlie.
3rd cat to their family and we are super happy that Finn is introduce to Yoshi & Mochie which were adopted through TNR project too. ❤️❤️❤️

Cat adoption post!
This is specially for the tabby lovers.

Finn is from the infamous Labrador Tower. He is a big size boy with beautiful stripes.
(His personality and size are very similar to Mr Mitten for those who have met him)

Definitely, a lover, not a fighter.
From the moment he came to the shelter's door, we are able to carry and cuddle him with no resistance at all. But he is quite an escape artist so meshing needs to be solid.

So for the tabby lovers, here’s your chance, to welcome sweet Finn.
A cat full of love, ready to give,
A perfect companion, with so much to live.

Adopt and rewrite his future. 💝

💯 sterilised and micochipped
💯 advanced applied
💯 vaccination
Adoption fee $100 which covers all his medical checks.

Adopt and change a life
And the good news is shadow has been adopted by Elizabeth & family.
( repeat adoptor 😇)

How his life changed in a week.
Last sunday we trapped him from Labrador Towers and today he is in his beautiful new home.

Our every little decision changes the lives of the cat.
Shadows was meant to be a TNR but on the night of the release, his pitiful baby cries made us change our mind.

Shadow's journey from the construction site to a warm home showed how a little kindness and care could change a life. He had found his forever family, and in return, he will bring endless joy to Elizabeth and her family.

You deserve all the love you get. We are sorry we can't save all your black colony of friends and family.
Have a good life.

24/06/2024

Can you believe it?!
We are still ongoing with Labrador Towers construction site due to large number of cats.
We have completed 2 zones and will be headed deeper inside the site next week.

This time round, the black colony.
Sadly we missed their trapping in the 1st round and a mummy has since popped 3 kittens.

We have also taken in a 4 month old kitten as it was crying a lot and we really felt bad for it.

We got cat trapper Damy to help as we do not have enough traps and carriers.. haha

We hope to raise funds to get another 2 more traps and it will cost us about $550 😉

Please continue to support us as we need more resources to make our work possible. Paynow to 9387 7877 (TNR) 🙏🏼

If anyone would like to foster we would also love to hear from you.

Ps- thanks to Serene for helping us stiched the video✌️

We lost Viva today to illness which came suddenly and took her swiftly in just 4 days.

We are devastated and heartbroken but we only want to remember the best of her. What matters was the 2.5 years she had with us.

Viva led a life by the boardwalk of Vivo City, she called her home. She was a mother again and again in the streets and when she came to us was heavily pregnant.

After her kittens were adopted, the plan to release her back was thwarted by rain each time we made the plan.
In the end, she stayed on , an "untouchable" with a timid grace.
Her unlikely friendship with Cora , another office cat , is a joy to watch. She loves Cora; following her every step , always meowing for her, giving headbutts ..

Our only regret, she never had experience human touch, pets and cuddles. She is timid and we never had a chance except a stroke of her backside while she run away from us.

Her final night at the vet, she was totally paralysed and unable to move. That was the only time i was able to caress her freely and hope she understands and knows that is love.
We brought Cora there and she was happy & starts humming in the throat as she can't meow

We wrote her a little note which will reach her in heaven.
That in the stars, she'll feel no fear. May she find the "sayangs" she's missed,
In the arms of angels, may she be kissed.

Remembering Viva, not with pain, But with joy for the love she gained.

Thank Care Vet for being with her till her last breath.
For her bills, we will not be raising funds to cover because she is family and will be taken care by Sgpetshop.

Viva you are loved & always our rolly polly.
Missed by many in office. 💔

Kittens are up for adoption!
Pls send us a message to enquire!

Case closed - Near Novena Church

How do you save 6 lives in one night?
A girl called Grace did.

Even though she was not the usual feeder, she decided to take action to help change the fate of this family. When Grace came cross mama Mittens and her fabulous 5 (kittens) while walking her dog, she knew she had to do something.

Grace eventually got in touch with TNR Project SG recommended by a friend. Thank God that the cats trusted Grace after she started feeding them.

So on a cool Sunday night, we join Grace and provided some guidance. We also delivered 2 cages for her to house the cats while she works on rehoming them. Together, we grabbed mama cat and her 5 babies. One of her babies is already blind in 1 eye due to living in poor condition.

This is the reason why our work must not stop. This is the reason why we must continue to do TNR, to reduce the unnecessary sufferings. If only the usual feeder had intervened. If only the usual feeder had taken actions, there will be less sufferings.

Mama Mitten was neutered the very next day and is now looking forward to her new life. A life without having to wait for her next meal in the dark alley. A life without having to nurse more kittens or having her babies suck her life away even when she doesn’t have enough nutrients.

The power is in your hands. Let’s not wait till it’s too late.
Do you care enough to take action?

Oli is up for adoption.
We trapped her from Labrador construction 2 weeks ago.

We set the trap and walked away to our vehicle but we got her in less than 5 seconds because she was super hungry:(

Street life is hard for most cats but living in the mega project construction is twice as hard.
It is dusty, dangerous and no feeder as instructions were given by management not to feed the cats.

Oli never had the childhood some lucky ones experience.
No cozy lap to settle in,
No bowl of milk in sight,
Just the hum of busy workers' tools,
From morning until night.

Data
7 months old
Female
Sterilise and microchipped.
Deflead
To be vaccinated and deworm in this coming week.

Adoption fee $80
Cws guidelines.
Please adopt this cutie 💖

Teddy, welcome to TNRP.

He is abandoned in Trevista Toa Payoh for about 2 weeks and got picked up by Celest, a resident there. As we knew each other from those days when we had a cat cafe,
She reached ou for help.

Maybe his owners left Singapore who used to live there?
Maybe someone released him there?
But condos are bad place to do so as the residents can be a pain and MCST will act on it.

The cat, a medium-sized Siamese Seal point had likely been surviving on minimal resources as it is skinny

Despite its condition, the cat showed moments of curiosity and a longing for companionship, suggesting it had once been a beloved pet.

For adoption fee it will be $120.
He has beem sterilised, microchipped, tested fiv and felv negative, deflead.
About 2 years old.

Contract us for viewing this coming week.

Cheryl, our soon to be adoptor mentioned about the cats in her work area. Showed me the photo of this tom cat with the chubby cheeks and the first thought is
" we have to get this boy! " 🍒🍒

Cheryl has trapped other cats and send in for TNR before but this street-smart Tom evaded her.
So she just let it be .. bearing with his p*e marking around their work area.

But we got her to borrow our trap and try once again.
The first day, he circled the trap and ate only at the edge. See video in comment
But as we always say don't give up. Try other methods of lure.
True enough, she got him!
Unfortunately he did injured his paw after being trap, obviously trying to get out.

We have since sterilised and treated his wound and will be released back today.

We encourage feeder to try and to feed and trap for snip for a simple reason.
👉There are too many cats cases and too few trappers around.
👉Sometimes major sites takes many hours per session and multiple days to trap the cats and we have a long list of areas to work on.

If you see 1 or 2 cats, you can always borrow and give it a try.we can guide you.
Do not wait for someone to help.
You are the someone ! ❤️

Often the cats we trap are infested with fleas and mites. Internal parasites such as heartworms can be deadly too.

We need funds to purchase this spot on solution in large quantity. We are talking to supplier for a special deal. Retail price is $28/box of 3 tubes.

A single dose of this can kill 98-100% of adult fleas within 12 hours of application.

We hope that you care enough to take action. To support, Paynow to 93 877 877 (TNR).

With gratitude 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Our cats are lucky to get yummiest home- cooked food by Louisiana.
This time round it is steamed batang fish!

See how happy they are, chomping it down as if we have not feed them for days.
Which gives us an idea that maybe.... we should do this once a month like a treat day for them.

For receipe, please see comments as we wait for Lou to post it.

It's been a hectic 2 weeks meeting many potential adopters & sending cats to new homes. 12 cats and kittens found homes.
Rehoming our rescues is essential for us to continue our work.

We want to express our gratitude to everyone who visited and adopted many of our cats. We’re having a great run and hope it continues just a bit longer!

To the adopters who opened their hearts and homes to our rescued street cats, we couldn’t do it without you.

We also want to share a happy moment about Ebony and Ivory. They were both untouchable semi-feral and had no exposure to human touch, but look at them now...

Every street cat has a story, often marked by hardship and survival. By choosing to adopt, you have given them a second chance at life filled with love, comfort, and security.
The transformation these cats undergo in a nurturing home is nothing short of miraculous, and it’s all thanks to wonderful people like you.
You are their heroes ❤️❤️
