On 11 April 2015, we were alerted to, and rescued, a kitten found trapped on a glue board in Gul Circle. Our Shelter Supervisors and Animal Care Officers took pains to wash the glue off the kitten, daily for a fortnight, applying a mix of cooking oil and shampoo, until he was finally rid of the glue.
SPCA has also written to the relevant pest controller agency, that had installed the glue board in the Gul Circle building concerned, and sought its buy-in to consider alternative pest control methods. SPCA has always been against the use of glue boards, which have been observed to cause unnecessary suffering to the animals trapped on them, in favour of more humane means possible; more info on SPCA’s position is on http://www.spca.org.sg/animalwelfare_details.asp?id=112
The local black/white kitten, whom we named Batfleck, and then only a month old, was too young to be placed for adoption; he was fostered for about two months and then up for adoption in mid-June 2015.
There’s a happy ending to this glue-board kitten’s story, at last – he was adopted by Mervyn Chan and family just a week ago, on 23 June. Mervyn shared with us that Batfleck has been lapping up all the attention and love given to him, and that Batfleck’s newly renamed ZORRO!
Our thanks to the Chans for giving Zorro newfound bliss and meaning!
