Search your hearts

There are about 15 stray cats in my neighbourhood. Most of them were originally not strays. They belonged to some families. How ever, when these families moved out, they decided that their 'pets' did not deserve to move with them, and were left behind, whether these cats would eventually be adopted by new families or not, they probably couldn't bother. Their acts of abandoning these cats were just simple human selfishness. Fortunately, we do have some cat loving families left in our neighbourhood, but we do have our own pets in our homes already, and we have no more room for any additionals. Even then, how many can we take in. My family already have rescued 5, and are now caring for them in our home. Many of my other neighbours have also rescued and adopted some for themselves. For every 1 cat we rescued from the streets, there are 2 more being abandoned by irresponsible owners. These shameless humans are just inhuman to disregard lives. Don't they realise that keeping a pet is a lifetime commitment? or have they forgotten, that just like their own children, these animals deserve a home too. I hope that more Singaporeans will open their hearts to these defensely animals, left out in the cold unfriendly streets of Singapore
