Pawsitively Hopeful: Singapore's Stray Affairs Changing Lives, One Paw at a Time

Updated: Dec 6, 2023





In the bustling city of Singapore, where progress and development are prevalent, there exists a group of unsung heroes quietly making a difference in the lives of those often overlooked – stray animals. The Stray Affairs, a dedicated team of volunteers with 5 to 8 years of experience, has taken up the noble cause of feeding and caring for stray animals in the Kranji and Lim Chu Kang areas. This article sheds light on their commendable efforts and the initiatives they have undertaken to create a positive impact on the lives of these vulnerable creatures.


Working with Plant workers Feeding the Strays:



Every Saturday, The Stray Affairs embarks on a mission to provide sustenance to the stray dogs and cats in the Kranji and Lim Chu Kang areas. The team requires approximately 60 kilograms of cooked meat to feed the stray dogs, along with 32 packets of kibbles and 24 large canned food items to nourish the stray cats. This consistent effort ensures that these animals receive the nutrition they need for survival in the harsh urban environment.


TNRM Program:

Beyond providing food, The Stray Affairs actively participates in the Trap, Neuter, Release/Rehome (TNRM) program. Collaborating with renowned organizations such as the Cat Welfare Society, OSCAS (Oasis Second Chance Animal Shelter), SOSD (Save Our Street Dogs), and SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), The Stray Affairs is at the forefront of controlling the stray animal population. The TNRM program involves trapping stray animals, neutering or spaying them, and then releasing them back into their natural habitats or finding suitable homes for adoption. This humane approach not only addresses the overpopulation issue but also promotes the well-being of the animals.


TheAsianPawrent's November Giving Back:



The commendable work of The Stray Affairs has not gone unnoticed, and organizations like TheAsianPawrent have chosen to support their cause. The Asian Pawrent, in its November Giving Back initiative, has recognized the invaluable contribution of The Stray Affairs in ensuring the welfare of stray animals. This partnership reflects a growing awareness and support for the essential work carried out by The Stray Affairs in the community.


Appeal for Support:



While The Stray Affairs has made significant strides in caring for stray animals, the need for support remains crucial. The group is actively seeking assistance from the public in the form of donations and distributions. Contributions can go a long way in sustaining their efforts to provide food, medical care, and implement TNRM programs effectively. Whether it's financial aid, food supplies, or volunteer assistance, every bit of support counts in making a positive impact on the lives of these vulnerable animals.


The Stray Affairs stands as a beacon of hope for stray animals in Singapore, showcasing the power of compassion and community-driven initiatives. Their commitment to providing sustenance, healthcare, and implementing innovative programs like TNRM is a testament to their dedication to creating a better life for these animals. As they continue their mission, the call for support echoes louder, inviting individuals and organizations alike to join hands in making a lasting difference in the lives of the voiceless and often-forgotten members of our society.



By joining hands, we can collectively create a world where no stray animal is left behind, and every creature receives the care and attention they deserve.
