A 55-YEAR-OLD woman has drained her $3 million fortune on stray
dogs and cats over the past six years in Singapore.
Sin Chew Daily has reported that the woman, known only as Ms
Lau, had been spending thousands of dollars monthly on pet food and
rental of a farm where she keeps the 150 cats and dogs.
Upset over the way stray cats were killed, she started taking in
strays six years ago. But the jade seller said she could no longer
afford the high expenses needed to keep the strays.
She said the farm owner had issued an eviction notice as she
owed three months in rental. '
If I were to close down the farm, where are these strays
supposed to go? They are so adorable, I feel sad to let them go,'
said Ms Lau, who has since sold off a few of her collectible items
to pay for the rental and upkeep of the animals.
She is still committed to keeping the strays. Her close friend
hoped the public would help adopt some of the strays to reduce Ms
Lau's burden.
