If you have paid due attention to the news, you would have learned about the unfortunate case of Ms Pauline Chin - owner of a makeshift shelter at Farmart - who was found dead in her shop in an apparent asthma attack.
She has left behind hundreds of caged animals in her shelter including rabbits, guinea pigs, cats and dogs
.
According to the other tenants at Farmart, the animals had been abandoned outside Ms Chin's shop thus she had no other alternative except to take in all of them.
Although the dogs have already been claimed back by their owners, the
remaining 38 rabbits, 4 guinea pigs and 50 cats are still in dire need
of help.
The moment news about the plight of the animals got out, local animal welfare groups began springing into action.
The rabbits and guinea pigs had been taken in by the
HRSS (House Rabbit Society Singapore) while the cats are in good hands with the
CWS (Cat Welfare Society).
Despite that, there is only so much the societies can do due to a lack of fundings and resources as the people running them are basically volunteers.
