The Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) announced a two-year pilot scheme beginning August 3 that allows approved cat fosterers to keep up to six cats in three-room or larger HDB flats and up to ten cats in private premises. These limits include both pet and foster cats in each household. The pilot was developed through extensive public engagements since 2023, gathering responses from fosterers, residents, cat owners, and non-cat owners to ensure diverse perspectives were considered.
