Happy World Animal Day everyone. As we reach another World Animal Day, it reminds me of how much animals enrich our lives and bring us so much joy. I hope that everyone will learn to at least tolerate, if not love, the animals around us.
I agree with what you say about there being a lot of ignorance/negligence/cruelty. The only bright light I CAN say I see though is that the caregiver movement is much stronger and more united than when I first got involved in animal welfare. People are more willing to get involved and help out - and that is something that I think is extremely positive. With enough of a grassroots movement, I believe that things WILL change - though sadly as you noted, not timely enough to help community cats out there.
Poor kitties & their care-givers do not have much support in hdb areas. On a happy note, the scared-looking Siamese-X (at bottom R) cat was adopted. Follow-up visits show a good home. Cat's new name is Sugar or Sweetie or something like that!

Dawn,
Nice montage! From your own phot stash?
I feel rather morose about the situation for our community cats, and gave vent to it here. What do you think?
PS: Are you aware if it is true that HDB can slap a $4,000 fine for kitty stashing? Did they change the rules?
Yes they are :)

And yes, that was always on the rule books!
