[The Importance of TNR βœ‚οΈ]

Last week, we were alerted by a feeder of a mama cat and her litter of 5 kittens, about 2 weeks old. They were living inside the locker rooms of a high-rise dormitory within a factory. We were initially planning to rescue them this coming weekend and we've already made the arrangements with our vet and rehoming friends at Wildflower.

However on Monday, were then alerted of an orphaned kitten, about 2 days old, found in a restricted area. The staff found him and not just took pity on him but were worried as management has engaged pest control for the stray cats in the area. Furthermore without a nursing mom, the orphaned kitten's chances of survival is slim. Therefore we had no choice but to bring forward the rescue timeline of the mama and her litter of 5, in hopes that she would be a surrogate nursing mom to the orphaned kitty.

Our vet and our friends at Wildflower understood the urgency and accommodated the escalated timeline too. That same day we immediately made arrangements to pick up the mama and her litter from the dormitory, as well as received the orphaned kitten.

We brought them to the vet and had them all undergo physical checks. We also had to test mama for FIV and FeLV before allowing the little orphan near her, yet alone nurse on her. Fortunately mom is negative. We also opted for an X-Ray as mama's belly was looking a little swollen and we wanted to be sure there weren't any unborn. Fortunately her belly was just full of p**p.

We slowly introduced the orphan to mama. She was initially curious and intrigued by the orphan's cries. Fortunately sweet mama did not reject the orphan and began grooming him.

These sweet babies are now in the safe care of our friends at and will eventually be up for adoption!

We can never stop stressing the importance of TNR. Sterilising cats helps prevent overpopulation which always results in people perceiving cats as pests. If you know of an unsterilised cat, do drop us a DM so we can arrange a TNR.

Thanks to .sg for once again squeezing us in and our friends at for always supporting our rescues.

Checking in with another worker, Sundar, and his dogs after they've shifted out of Kranji Industrial Estate due to land redevelopment. It's always great to see the strays adapting and thriving well.

This month we were fortunate enough to have some Gold-D FTO (Flea and Tick Off) donated to us, therefore on top of our usual food distribution, we also taught Sundar how to apply some external parasite prevention for his four dogs. We hope that this can help protect them against the harsh conditions of living in a factory or on the streets.

Delivering food to Senthil and his cat who has relocated out of Kranji-Sungei Kadut to another industrial estate on the island.

We're grateful that kind workers like him exist, who did not abandon their animals when their factory closed but instead took the animal along with them when they relocate. And so we do our best to continue the distribution of food to them across the island wherever they may be.

Oliver is just so shy. We asked him to make an appeal of cat and dog food for The Stray Affairs
The food is distributed to foreign workers who feed the cats and some dogs at the end of a day's work.
Oliver was one of the dogs looked after by The Stray Affairs
For a while, they cannot find Oliver and when spotted again, Oliver had a nail pierced through his paw. They immediately sent him for surgery, fostering and finally to us. Later they trapped his sister Oledia who also came ot us.
Oliver understand what it means to be on the street. He also know how much it meant when people went to feed him. Now he has a home and he wants to do an appeal to raise food for community animals. Please support Oliver's appeal. Go to: https://ahasg.com/Support_Stray_affair.html

TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) is a scientifically proven method to humanely manage the stray population. It helps prevent unwanted pregnancies in stray animals, reducing strain on an already stretched animal welfare ecosystem. Therefore we're launching a pilot initiative to extend our TNR support for stray and community animals across Singapore. If you are or know a community animal caregiver that requires help with trapping and sterilising stray animals, do head to our website (link in bio) to fill up the form and we'll get in touch with you to see how we can help!

[ Update on Alex 🐢 ]

Alex was rescued from an abandoned factory in Sungei Kadut a year ago when construction to flatten the compound began. He is currently 11 years old and has lived a long life on the streets. We promise each animal we rescue a better life and Alex was initially living in a foster home after being rescued, however he developed severe and destructive separation anxiety. We've spent a huge sum on behavioural training and a concoction of anxiety medications, had volunteers come over daily to dog sit so his fosterer can go to work. We even tried finding a second fosterer with a live-in helper, however Alex attack the 2nd fosterer's dog out of stress. It reached a point where we felt Alex would do better in a boarding home where there would be someone to watch over him full-time.

It's been a few months since Alex went into long-term boarding, and he is now doing better. We've found a medication where his anxiety is more manageable. He gets regular walks and is on home-cooked food, kindly sponsored by a donor. Alex is vaccinated, sterilised and micro-chipped. He is generally healthy, other than a condition called macrothrombocytopenia, which is of no critical concern.

Despite that, we still feel Alex would do better in a home environment. A kennel is not the better life we had envisioned for Alex and we are often left wondering if we made the right decision to rescue him, however what was once Alex's factory is now a big grass patch. Rescuing Alex was not a matter of "If", but "When".

Alex is a sweet old soul, he just needs to feel a warm body present at home, and when he does, he is full of personality. He simply loves being around humans and is stressed when he isn't.

We are still hopeful for a fosterer for Alex even tho we know the criteria may be difficult to meet.

1. Single pet household/No other pets at home. Due to a prior accident.

2. Someone at home 24/7 (i.e. live-in helper). Due to his separation anxiety.

3. Preferably a landed home, or with a porch/garden. A less confined space might give him a better chance at independency and curb his need to feel a human presence.

We know it's a big ask so DM us to find out more.

Food appeal for The Stray Affairs
The food are distributed to foreign workers who help to feed the cats in their work place. As the locations as usually very far, it is not practical for volunteers to feed daily. So that is where our heros come in! all the foreign workers to who to feeed after a day's work. Giving them food is very imprtant for their health. And we dont want the cats to hunt in case they get infected with tozo or infections.
