Reddit Historical-Mall-6653 - Adopting community cat? Thoughts?

[articland05]

didn't know there is such pushback from cat feeders...
isn't being adopted better?

 

[Joseph12]

The ones who wrote this and thinks this are morons

Cat doesn't belong to community
Who is community ?

These people just want their pet cats to be waiting for them at void decks and not in their homes

Really dumb dumb people who cannot think beyond their own selfish Karen "logic "

Cos some adopters three piece hot temperature. Adopt just a while then throw the cat back to the streets. No commitment

Crazy cat ladies are a big no no in my books. The outcome always no good one

You cannot simply take a community cat in Singapore, as many roaming cats are registered, sterilized, and cared for by local feeders under the Cat Welfare Society (CWS) or the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) community cat programs. [1, 2, 3]

Key Factors to Consider

• • Community vs. Stray Cats: Many cats found around HDB estates are "community cats" with designated caregivers. Removing them can cause distress to the cat and conflict with local feeders. [1]
  • Ear-Tipping Check: Check if the cat has a tipped ear (a small portion of the ear cut off), which is the universal sign that it has been trapped, neutered, and released (TNR) as a community cat. [1, 2]
  • Scanning for Microchips: If you suspect the cat is a lost pet or a stray rather than a managed community cat, you should bring it to a vet or the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to scan for a microchip. [1]
  • Cat Licensing Rules: Under AVS regulations, all pet cats in Singapore must be licensed through the Pet Animal Licensing System (PALS). [1]
  • Housing Rules: If you live in an HDB flat, make sure you comply with local pet policies and ensure your home is properly meshed and cat-proofed before keeping a cat indoors. [1]

So cat's registered owner is who exactly
If it gets sick or breaks leg from accident who's supposed to pay for it

Think the vet there got a scanner or some device able to scan the cat ear, can trace who is the rightful registered owner.

Wah the cat so fat !

No

You said its registered with CWS etc
So there must be a registered owner

Is it CWS? Feeder? MP?
Owner being Mr Feline Meow Catcher is unacceptable

• • Reuniting Process: If a lost cat is found and brought to a veterinary clinic, animal shelter, or animal control officer, staff can use a special microchip scanner to read the unique identification number.
  • Database Lookup: That number is then checked against a pet registry (such as through the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) in Singapore) to look up the owner's pre-registered contact details.

 

[Joseph12]

And the way these people write on poster, thinks he's loan shark

Should really get their brain checked

 

[tExtra]

Hearsay need to contact meow meow association. If got chip, will ask the previous owner if he/she/it is agreeable. Then can do the transfer.

Adopting stray cats is not a good idea. Not because of the typical reasons, like germs and diseases. They don't stay with humans and just walk out of your life when they feel like it. They don't have the loyalty mindset that dogs do. Only on rare occasions do Cats decide you'll be the slave, then they move into your house.

who catnapped mew mew?

 

[tomsss]

the feeders angry becos they dunno who this young couple are

they scared any how feed how do funny things

i got read in other forums where there are ppl wanna adopt comm cat, they ask feeders to know more about it, make friends and give good impression. they happily let them take home cos they know they have a good home

 

[kreja]

So many cats need to be adopted why must go pick community cat?

 

[psyger-zero]

Community cats belong to the public cannot bring home

is there any degree of ownership proof that says that?
