The public consultation includes an online survey that will be available until Nov 2.
SINGAPORE: The Animal & Veterinary Service is seeking public feedback on its proposed framework to improve the management and welfare of cats, including possibly allowing pet cats in Housing and Development Board flats.
The first proposal is to expand the existing pet dog licensing and microchipping scheme to include pet cats. The public consultation for the proposed cat management framework was launched on Sep 3 by Senior Minister of State for National Development Tan Kiat How. He added that the authorities recognise that HDB flat residents would like to have cats as pets, while others may have concerns about issues caused by irresponsible cat ownership.
AVS is currently conducting research to better understand the population size and ecology of community cats, as well as the social aspects of cat management.
