LUNI Singapore is not a shelter nor do we have a separate space where we take care of our cats and kittens. All our volunteers are working from their homes. Therefore you cannot come by to play with the kittens. If you want to adopt a cat or kitten please fill in our Adoption Enquiry and we will put you in touch with our fosterers directly for a meet up.
If you want to socialise cats or do some general volunteering we recommend you get in touch with the SPCA, Love Kuching or other shelters who are always looking for volunteers.
LUNI Singapore is selling merchandise at events! Check out our social media for the next one coming up!
The best way to help LUNI Singapore is by making donations whether this is a food donation through PolyPet, buying our merchandise items or a simple monetary donation. We are super grateful for every single bit and you can be sure every cent goes straight to help the cats. Please check our Donation page on our website for more information.
We often need new volunteers for smaller or bigger tasks as well as fosterers that fit our organization. Please fill in our Volunteer Form or our Fostering Form and we will get in touch with you.
LUNI Singapore is a small organization with limited fosterers and resources. At times all of our fosterers are packed and this can be very overwhelming. We unfortunately cannot take in more cats that we can handle. We refer you to other organisations like SOKS, CWS or the SPCA. We ensure that all cats live in a home environment, not in cages, therefore each fosterer also can only take a limited amount of cats and kittens and we usually don’t have the capacity to take care of completely feral cats.
That depends on how many cats/kittens our own fosters have up for adoption. Our priority are the cats and kittens that are currently in the care of LUNI Singapore. We might have a hard time adopting out our own cats. Understand that sometimes we are unable to share your post and promote other cats and kittens for adoption. Please, contact us through Facebook messenger to check on that. We only share posts of kittens/cats which are vaccinated, dewormed and, if older than 5-6 months, then sterilised.
Unfortunately we cannot. All our volunteers work on LUNI Singapore in every spare minute they can find besides their jobs and taking care of their families. We do not have the manpower or resources to rush through the city and go search for a cat or kitten in a certain area. Besides the cat might have left already before we arrive. We are asking you to use your common sense and try to help this cat in need. You might bring it to the vet or an emergency clinic yourself if necessary.
There are multiple reasons why we usually do not take in feral kittens >8 weeks old. First, the handling of kittens (socialization) must be done in their socialisation period which ends with 10-12 weeks. If not handled in this period, they usually grow up feral and it will be nearly impossible to tame them so they can have a happy life in a home and also the adopters are having fun with the cat. There is also a risk of developing behavioral problems caused by the anxiety and fear.
Second, it is very hard to adopt out older cats, even adolescent kittens that are still super playful. The Singaporean community mostly wants cute kittens. It’s not that we support or agree with this, but our fosterers cannot keep the cats forever, unfortunately.
Third, we believe that cats that are accustomed to life on the street should not be confined in our homes and forced to be our pets. This can create stress and a range of behavioral problem. Which is not pleasant for either the cat or yourself. We try to care for them on the streets with our responsible feeders who feed daily and help with medical problems. You can do so as well and help cats on the streets.
If you are able to handle the cat yourself please help us out and take it the cat to a clinic we work with. We can give you the details if you contact us through Facebook message or email.
If the cat is feral and you are unable to handle it, please contact us so we can hand you the direct contact number of our trapper. Our trapper needs to know the following:
Let us know when you made the appointment with our trapper so we can contact our clinic to save a time slot for the sterilization.
LUNI Singapore focuses on the street cats of Singapore. We cannot take in your cat as this will take up space for street cats that need our help more. It is very sad if people adopt/buy cats and don’t think of them as a family members. If something unforeseen happens and you REALLY cannot take your cat along on a move or similar, please try to rehome them via the many cat Facebook groups.
