Orange-Boy recuperating in a shelter

Orange-Boy's limping was due to an abscess near the right hip joint. The abscess burst and a caregiver has sprinkled antibiotic powder on the wound.

However he was still limping badly this morning and so a decision was made to board him in a shelter for him to recover in a clean environment instead of being under cars, rain or shine!

Finally he was nabbed from under a car

Safe in a shelter where the wound will be cleaned and medicated.

Orange-Boy still limping

Despite the limp with no visible external wound and swelling, his eyes are bright and his fur shining. The concern is whether he is able to get from under a car, where he now tends to rest (as he probably couldn't jump onto the metallic bench nearby), fast enough to escape being hit.

No external wounds and obvious swelling are seen on Orange-Boy's hind leg that caused him to limp.

Give him food.

Like us human beings, a cat experiences hunger and thirst.

This community cat called Orange-Boy treats this Recycle Bin "decently" as a shade, whereas some residents treat recycle bins as garbage bins!

On this tiny island, the species that cause the MOST problems is obviously overpopulated, yet authorities say..not enough..please reproduce MORE!! More of this species = MORE $$!

Cats, on the other hands, have remarkable REPRODUCING ability, but the authorities label them as "non-productive" species and KILL them on any kind of complaints, never mind if the complainants cook up stories to get rid of them because they harbour fear of cats, never mind if there are non-kill solutions to the problems, never mind if the complainants are anonymous, never mind if ONE complainant called 100 times but the authorities will treat as 100 complaints!




This community cat seeks shelter under a recycle bin on a hot afternoon.
Many residents, despite having genuine garbage bins almost every few metres apart, treat these reycle bins as garbage bins!
Who's the dumb-ass?

A Chinese lady feeder said that this ginger cat was almost caught by a pest controller many years ago before he was neutered. He hid under the drain covers till the pest controller gave up. The feeder then quickly took him to the vet for sterilisation and now he sports a left tipped ear.
A few months ago, a male Chinese resident told a feeder that he would complain to the town council about this cat sitting on his car! The feeder contacted a caregiver who quickly called the Senior Property Officer (SPO) before the complaint came in. The SPO suspected that the complainant was likely the same man who complain of dust on his car from the lift construction. However this man didn't lodge any complaint.

Some property officers are intimidated by residents who complaint, especially if the complainants are aggressive or some "big shots" RC members. These officers then to take the easy way out by culling the cats in the vicinty of the complainant. Such will be the outcome if there are no caregivers to speak out for the cats.

If you care for the cats, please do speak or email to your town council to volunteer in assisting the SPO's in resolving feedback about cats. You can write to the Cat Welfare Society (CWS) at info@catwelfare.org to put yourself on the register of volunteers and also to connect to other caregivers in your neighbourhood if there are any. The CWS can assist you if you are new at this.

About 3 years ago, a caregiver saw him hiding under a drain cover with a pest controller besides trying to entire him with a bait. Fortunately he wasn't hungry or greedy and the pest controller gave up after a while. The caregiver then quickly got him to the vet and have him sterilised.
