David Ee

SINGAPORE - From next month, an animal welfare group will mediate in disputes between dog owners and their neighbours in some public estates.

The Agency for Animal Welfare (AAW) will begin its extended role in a handful of constituencies where MPs are supportive.

The group is also exploring the option of partnering the Community Mediation Centre and the Singapore Kindness Movement.

It declined to reveal more details, citing ongoing discussions.

SINGAPORE: Volunteers have started evacuating close to 100 animals from an improvised pet shelter at Farmart Centre in Chua Chu Kang.

Their caregiver, Ms Pauline Chin, died of an asthma attack on February 22.

The volunteers said many of the orphaned animals needed medical attention. The critically ill have been sent to the vet, while the rest are being evacuated in batches to various shelters and individuals for adoption.

A Special Act on a Special Day
Instead of wedding gifts, Fats and Spars' owners asked their guests to donate to Cat Welfare Society's Special Appeals.

Thanks to the happy couple, the total donations helped us close 12 longstanding appeals! It is quite possibly the most warm-hearted way to celebrate a beautiful day and a start of a new journey together.

Congratulations to Shaun & Marilyn!
