Closing the Chapter on the Toa Payoh Case

Reference link to the Toa Payoh Case : http://pawpledge.wordpress.com/2009/07/12/1-poor-lady-48-cats-and-1000-cockroaches/

We’ve raised more than enough funds to sterilise as many cats as we could at Shireen’s flat.  There were a few sad stories of kittens who have crossed over because they were too sick.  But there were also happy adoption stories, like the Ginger kitten who lost one eye…a kind smaritan friend took her in (thanks Shiqin!).

There are only a few cats still not yet sterilised as they are too young but the few volunteers who are still helping out will keep an eye on them and take care of the fundraising for sterilisations later on if they can’t manage.

Here is a summary of the accounts:

Funds raised by Paw Pledge : $1,859.28

Total spend on sterilisations and medical : $1,039.00

Balance left over: $820.28

Details of accounts below, receipts available on request.  So, what are we doing with the balance?  Well, we have consulted the donors and all agreed that we can channel this money to save Bukit Batok Cats. 

In case you haven’t followed the Community Cat Network  (CCN) news (ok, no such channel, I made it up), but seriously, here’s what is happening in Bukit Batok c/o Hong Kar Town Council…

“Please speak up against the culling of cats in the Hong Kah constituency” – http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=141628055663

Shocking reply from Ms Christina Goh, GM of Hong Kah TC” – http://singaporecommunitycats.blogspot.com/2009/09/shock-reply-from-ms-christina-goh-gm-of.html

So, the 4 of us went down to the aforementioned area to check out the situation…Hell Broke Loose!  It was Out of Control!!!  Off the bet we counted 11 unsterilised strays in a span of 2 blocks.  Witnessed 3 caterwauling cats and territorial male studs chasing caterwauling female cats up the trees, and cats sitting on cars!!!  Not wonder it’s a Complaint Zone.  Not forgetting that some joker using different nicknames is relentlessly voicing his complaints of these cats on STOMP.

We need to do something on the ground while negotiations with Town Council is underway by CWS West-Side Representative.

We estimate the fund balance from Toa Payoh will cover the sterilisation costs of cats within these 3 blocks radius, but there are much more…the complaint area is pretty wide.  If you’re able to PLEDGE to the sterilisations of any strays, please sponsor today.  We’ll keep you posted on the sterilisation activities on the ground as well as post up the accounts once the fund is depleted.
