Handling And Taking Photos Of Feral Animals

This is a gentle reminder to all applicants to handle neutered animals gently, especially when taking photos of the surgical scar after surgery.

We totally empathise that it is not easy to handle feral animals, what more, one that has just gone through surgery.

So, to all applicants of our fund, our requirements are:

While we ask for the photo of the surgical scar as well as a photo of the animal after he/she has awakened from surgery, please take note that these two CAN be two separate photos. They need not be one.

So, if you are unable to take photos like the samples above because the animal is too feral and cannot be touched, then could you please enlist the help of a vet assistant or you yourself go to the clinic to take photos as below (while the animal is still under anaesthesia).

You may take the photo of the whole animal while still under anaesthesia (showing the surgical scar). Then, after the animal awakens, you may take a photo of the animal again (in the cage or carrier – this does not require the surgical scar to be shown anymore). We just need proof that the animal has awakened.

And if you can carry the animal, please support the buttocks when you take the photo of the surgical scar.

Always be gentle.

Thank you.
