SINGAPORE – For Linda, her life as a cat feeder began innocently enough. “When I first moved here, there were a lot of stray cats around,” said the 67-year-old housewife, who declined to reveal her full name.
“When I first moved here, there were a lot of stray cats around,” said the“One of the old aunties had been feeding them, so I volunteered to help her. I took over the job when she died.”
“Some even throw water bottles at the community cats. But I have to educate them, and I can’t retaliate against them because I’m afraid they’ll do something bad to the cats,” said Ms Carol Tang, 53, another feeder and rescuer. Ms Tang said that feeding cats is not as simple as dropping by once a day to leave food for the strays.
“We took the cat for sterilisation and put her in a boarding place for fostering while we looked for a home for her“But after a while, we found that she was not well, she wasn’t eating anymore and was acting restless. So we took her back to the vet and they found that she had multiple inflammations in several organs.
“They have to step up, educate the public and enforce the rules because we as rescuers don’t have the authority to go after abusers,” said Ms Tang.
