The extraordinary kindness of an ordinary man



The uncle said that this cat used to belong to a lady who lives in this block and couldn't take care of her in her home as she was working (this is abandonment!)
He is aware that it is dangerous to feed whole fish to a cat as the bones might pierce into the throat.
He said this cat has been abused by foreign workers who work as cleaner. I have seen this cat, whom I called Tua-Pui-Meow became alert whenever a cleaner was nearby. I have spoken to one particular worker and voiced my concern that this cat has been abused by him. He denied. However I warned of the consequence of abusing an animal.
The uncle also said that this cat has been retrieved from AVA by another lady who lives in this block.
Town council officers have been known to be ruthless to cats and would just engage the pest controller who is sometimes also the contract estate cleaner, to round up the cats in the vicinity of the complaints, not bothering to find out if the complaint was genuine or which particular cat is involved. Often the complaint is about an upstairs free-roaming home cat that defecated in the corridors but the downstairs innocent cats such as Tua-Pui-Meow, are being rounded up. After all, cats can't speak.
Please volunteer yourself to protect the community cats by speaking to your town council officer to say that you will help to look into any complaint. Very often the complainants do NOT want any cat to be killed but the lazy town council officer will assume so.
