If you're keen on adopting a cat, The Cat Welfare
Society or the SPCA aren't the only
pet adoption avenues—there are a few Facebook pages that are
already helping these kitties get forever homes.
An anonymous aunty gave the Meomi Cat Cafe seven
of its cats, and one of the volunteers decided to help her start a
Facebook page to get the rest of her kitties adopted.
To adopt a cat, arrange for a meeting, go through a house
inspection and put mesh on the windows before signing the
paperwork. There will also be a cat inspection after the animal has
settled in. Viewing times are from 11am-7pm daily. While
you don't have to pay to adopt, you will have to factor in
vaccination costs as well as spaying and neutering
expenses.
Like the Feline Forever Home, this Facebook page is dedicated to
rehoming cats who live with Aunty T, a lady who used to have about
70 cats in her rental home. Some volunteers managed to take the
cats to commercial shelters after her lease expired, and $1,150 is
needed to pay for boarding fees, food and other medical expenses
for the cats. Its finances are also explicitly detailed,
and each donation goes to supporting a cat.
Currently, 19 cats are up for adoption. It doesn't cost to adopt,
but do arrange a time and date to meet prior to adoption. The
process may take a few weeks. If you'd like to help in any way,
email them here.
If you can commit to adopting a kitten, then visit Kittens for
Adoption Singapore, which features fostered kitties.
There are some considerations to note: Newborns need to be nursed
every two hours, while kittens up to six months have to be fed
three or four times daily. A meeting with the fosterers is required
before bringing the kitten home and most importantly, your home has
to be kitty-ready (meshed gates and windows, the works).
Like Kittens for Adoption, this page also crowdsources potential
adopters of pets, but is more suited for dog lovers as there are
fewer cats listed. Although published financial statements are not
readily available, they announce the types of donations they
receive on the Facebook page (such as food, for instance) and
updates about these dogs and cats in their new homes.
You can email them to donate here, and contact
the owners directly to discuss the adoption criterias. The process
may take a few weeks.
