STERILISATION SAVES LIVES - BE A RESPONSIBLE PET OWNER.
Did you know that at any one time, one male cat and one female cat can be responsible for producing four to eight kittens in a litter?

So, please help reduce Singapore’s pet population by sterilising your pet. Sterilisation saves lives.

WHEN ARE KIDS READY FOR PETS?
