Noah’s Ark CARES volunteers collaborate with caregivers in industrial areas. The Discovery In November 2015, NA CARES volunteers responded to a call to sterilize a large number of cats at a construction site at Yio Chu Kang Road. During the site check we conducted soon after, one of the construction workers who had been feeding the cats, shared that he was at a loss as to what to do – the less than ten cats they fed at the start were now close to a hundred. What was more hea

Merlin (MerMer) was adopted from Noah's Ark CARES when she was about 7 months old. At that time, she was afraid of everything, ranging from buses to kids! When she saw them, she would either bolt or lunge at them. I met MerMer through my mother's friend, A, who lives across the road from us. The first time I met Merlin, she was very calm and seemed to like me, which was strange because Merlin was known to be wary of kids. As I was going through a hard time at home and in scho

The Discovery I (stray feeder) first saw these two fluffy brown dogs in mid'2014, at a construction site at Tuas South when I went there to visit 2 licensed dogs that were relocated there. They were about 3 months old. I named the more friendly one Sandy, the very shy one Sandra.I started to feed them on a weekly basis so that they would trust me as a friend, and be easier to catch when they were ready for sterilisation. The workers at the site are very pleasant and understa

The Discovery In 2015, when we started neutering dogs at Jackson’s area, Jackson’s mother had already given birth to a litter of five. Unfortunately, all our fosterers were already inundated with young and weak pups so Fate took its course and one by one Jackson’s siblings disappeared. We thought all was well until one evening, when Jackson squeezed out from a corner as we were about to leave. Initially, we only saw his right view which was fine. When he lifted his head fro

The Discovery We spotted this black and tan boy, late one night near our usual feeding route and he was hobbling about on three legs. That same weekend, we asked workers at the factories in that area and located where he stayed. The factory employees told us that Kenny was sleeping under a forklift when the forklift driver who unfortunately did not see him, ran over his left front paw. The factory employees did try to treat him by using a splint to immobilize the injured le

As we celebrate our nation’s 51st birthday today, we would like to bring you a happier story – a story of one of the people who despite their limited means, care for the strays and collaborate with us in our TNR efforts. Qiqi has been living on the streets for about five years. Her caregiver C.L. watched her grow up and but has never managed to get close enough catch her so as to send her for sterilisation. A couple of weeks ago, C.L. saw that Qiqi had a badly infected wound

What a day! While most of us are comfortably gathered at home or at the National Stadium to watch the 51st National Day Parade, our caregivers for JIP (Jurong Island Project) have been working under the merciless sun taking care of the dogs, like on any other day. Together with SOSD Singapore, our efforts to sterilize, care for and manage the dogs on this restricted island know no public holidays. This handsome little boy had his head stuck in a plastic container for three w
