Spay-Neuter Subsidy For 4 Market Cats (Then Lai Fatt�s)

Ah Fatt, as he is popularly known, has recently been overwhelmed by the large number of cats dumped at the market where he works as a fishmonger. It started during the month prior to the festive season�and it hasn’t stopped.

Lately, a lady has been dumping her pet cats (about 10 or more each time) at the market during�closing time. When questioned, the lady says she is not allowed to get her cats spayed due to religious reasons so they keep breeding and she has to dump them somewhere.

It is sad that her poor cats are left to breed. Some of the dumped cats are entire families (mothers and very young kittens) and it must be extremely sad for the cats, to have lived as pets and now, dumped to fend for themselves. According to Ah Fatt, many of the young kittens�die because of poor immunity and they contract diseases at the market. Ah Fatt even drives the vet to the market to vaccinate as many of the kittens as possible in an attempt to increase their chances of survival.

It is really overwhelming and demotivating for Ah Fatt, his wife and another friend (who also helps to look after all the market cats) that despite trying so hard to save the cats and kittens, 1-2 young kittens still die daily. I met Ah Fatt and his wife today and they told me the sad situation.

Ah Fatt has brought 3 more females and 1 male to be spayed and neutered. We have subsidised RM400 for the procedures.

�For every cat spayed or neutered, we know many unwanted births are prevented.

So, we carry on, no matter what.
