Keeping cats indoors is not about limiting freedom. It is about preventing avoidable harm 🐾

Outdoor cats face real risks, including traffic, disease, injury, and getting lost. Indoor cats live a median of 9.4 years, compared with 7.3 years for cats that roam.

Keeping your cat safely indoors and not allowing it to roam is part of the mandatory licensing conditions under the Cat Management Framework. Haven’t licensed your cat yet? Do so for free before 31 August 2026! 💚

Good news for cat fosterers! 💛

Under a new pilot scheme, approved fosterers can now keep up to six cats in HDB flats with three rooms or more, and up to 10 cats in private residential properties, with licensing requirements waived during the pilot. 🎉

With more cats comes more responsibility. To keep your cats safe, homes must be fitted with mesh or grilles, and cats must be leashed or carried when out in public.

You may also apply to be recognised as a cat fosterer here: go.gov.sg/cat-fosterer-form

“A pet is not an impulse, a whim, or a fad… A pet is like a child who never grows up.”

That's the hard-won wisdom of Ruici, who adopted Milan, a 6-year-old Singapore Special, after she and her partner lost their first dog to stomach cancer. Their journey together with Milan hasn’t been without challenges, but for Ruici, the challenge is exactly the point.

Inspired by Ruici and Milan’s story? If you're thinking about opening your home to a rescue dog, here's your chance! Join us at Paws in the City, an adoption drive brought to you by Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS), where you could meet your perfect companion!
