   Comments: I wish to do more for the stray cats and hope to get the co-operation of the public to stop abuse and care for animals. I also hope that cat-feeders in the neighbourhood to be more cooperative & understanding with one and another, for the better welfare of the cats.

    Comments: The Straits Times Online STForum April 7, 2007 Town councils, please educate irresponsible pet owners OUT of concern over the constant killing of cats by the town council in response to complaints, a few residents including me, decided to volunteer in ‘cat management’ to cover about 20 blocks of HDB flats in my estate. ‘Cat management’ includes sterilising community cats and helping the town council investigate and resolve complaints about cats. After four years that include many hours waiting for elusive cats to walk into cat traps on loan from the Cat Welfare Society, we are happy that almost all the cats in our part of the estate now sport a left tipped ear, a sign that it is sterilised, will not emit a caterwauling noise and will not produce litter after litter of unwanted kittens. Noise from male cats fighting to dominate female cats is now limited to the occasional fight over territory. Our concern now is the lack of regulations on pet ownership. During the four-year period of ‘cat management’, we identified two families with unsterilised cats that were allowed to roam freely. We spoke to these families and persuaded them to let us send their cats to the vet for sterilisation. Recently, there was a family with five cats but they allowed us to send only four for sterilisation. As this family admitted they leave their cats ‘downstairs’, we now worry this one unsterilised female cat may be allowed to breed and the kittens will be abandoned. This will be a setback in the control of the cat population in the estate. We appeal to the town council and perhaps the residential committees to help educate these irresponsible pet owners. However, if the HDB will replace its ban on cats with regulations to impose a fine on owners who refuse to sterilise their cats and allow them to roam freely in the common corridors, this will speed up the success of the Trap-Neuter-Release-Manage (TnRM) programme to reduce the population of community cats humanely and cost-effectively. We too want a decrease in the cat population but we believe this can be done without the need to kill them by applying evidence-based TnRM. Carol Sim Swee Chin (Ms)

    Comments: Animals are part of our society and the govt should open their hearts to acknowledge their existence. In order to build a gracious society, the govt must take the lead. Please teach your citizens to love life and not kill unnecessarily.

    Comments: It's sad that humane methods of controlling stray cats population are taken away by the Government. The SCRS is the only long-term solution to overpopulation of cats.

    Comments: One of the primary misconceptions about stray/community cat caregivers is that they "establish" cat colonies. In fact, the opposite is true. Stray cat caregivers are helping cats who are already there. And by working to feed and alter the cats, the caregivers are improving the lives of the cats and reducing potential problems. Through TNR, the caregivers are actively helping the cats and working to reduce their numbers over time. By feeding the cats, they are reducing wandering and other behaviors that may lead to "conflicts" with others. By re-instating the SCRS, the AVA can help these individual caregivers more in reducing the cat population the humane way.

    Comments: The government chooses to eradicate anything which is not economically viable. It has lost compassion, yet we are falsely proclaiming to be a warm and welcoming society. Animals simply do not have any place in the society.. right

    Comments: There is no reason why residents in Singapore should pay S&CC and taxes to be used in unproductive ways like the current trap-and-cull approach to stray animals, when there are more effective options available. In fact, the successfulness and effectiveness of SCRS was proven in the Bukit Merah View study. Re-instating the SCRS will not only allow the community and AVA to enjoy peaceful nights and reduce the cat population in Singapore. it helps the AVA keep track of the health of the cat population as there are care-givers checking on these cats daily.

    Comments: If the government would reinstated this SCRS programme.. all the caregivers of "community cats" will be most relieved that we have the support from the government. Please reinstate this programme back as it really helps the cats "to have a bit of share in this world". The funding will really help everyone and esp the cats/kittens who are in need to survive and with the TNRM programme too more cats can be neuter and adopt a more humane solution..

    Comments: I have been sterilising cats for more than 20 years now, and I know from experience that through continual sterilisation efforts, there will be a reduced number of strays. I started doing it way back when SPCA was handing our vouchers freely to those who wanted it, and CWS was not even formed yet. I sort of banded a group of ladies around, and we could do up to 20 cats a month. There was DEFINITE reduction in the numbers and stray cats were healther, there was happiness all around for feeders and residents. Was terribly disappointed (being polite here) when the SCRS was terminated abruptly a few years ago. I no longer do so many, maybe 1 or 2 which SPCA gives out every month.
