Found the ASPCA website. It's very professional and attractive. Of course, looking at the careers page, they have professional full time staff to manage it, which SPCA Singapore probably does not have at the moment.

I especially like the ASPCA's system of colour-coding the animals in the adoption shelter to better suit potential families. Check out their Meet Your Match system. (They even have a link for shelter professionals to assist them in implementing the system in their own shelters.)

Also recommend their dogs and cats adoption pages. And of course their information pages.

I met a cat owner at the cat show, an 'ang mo' who told me he was trying to find vegetarian cat food for his cats.

Cats are carnivores, and cannot live on vegetables alone due to the absence of some very important nutrients and vitamins in a vegetarian diet, hence vegetarian cat food is full of synthetic minerals and vitamins.

Currently, this vegetarian cat owner is importing his food from back home, and it costs a bomb. As far as I know, he has not found his vegetarian cat food in Singapore yet. There is no market for it.

It never occurred to me that cats might have to go vegetarian because of their owners. It brings up a lot of interesting, never-thought-of-before questions.
