By Micah Sulit, who joined the Cat Welfare Society in January 2011. Her growing love for animals, vegetarianism, and volunteer work in animal welfare all began with a community cat.
Whether you live in a private estate or a Housing Development Board (HDB) flat, you probably know of at least one “stray” cat in your area and sometimes more. At the Cat Welfare Society (CWS), we call them “community cats,” because they are part of our communities too. Love them or hate them, they are sentient beings that deserve tolerance and kindness in our neighbourhoods. That is what CWS volunteers, including scores of community cat caregivers all over Singapore, work hard to give them.
