Causes for Animals (Singapore ) Limited
Emergency Medical Appeal: Mi Gu
Mi Gu became part of our TNR programme a few months ago. She is well cared for by her feeder, Aunty Lee Chew.

Last week, Mi Gu was spotted with a container stuck over her head. We tried to get hold of her over the week but couldn't as she was wary and fast. 

Today, a kind volunteer managed to get hold of her with Aunty Lee Chew and we rushed Mi Gu to the vet.

The poor dog has not been able to eat or drink for 7 days. She is severely dehydrated and malnourished.  Maggots have also festered all over her ears, causing wound. It took much work to remove the container and we can only hope Mi Gu pulls through.

We need all the help we can get to ensure Mi Gu survives this terrible ordeal. Will you help us help her?
 
​Do note that  should funds raised exceed the final medical bill, the surplus will be utilised for animals under our community care program that need assistance. ​

Additional Safety Measures For CAS Volunteers in light of Covid-19 regulations:
​
As our work is considered an Essential Service, CAS is allowed to continue operations at our adoption centre at Seletar.. 

Volunteers please note:
  • We will continue to keep volunteer numbers to below 8
  • Timing is 8.30am to 10.30am
  • All volunteers need to leave after washing and walking so we do not congregate near each other
  • All volunteers must wear masks and activate their Trace Together app on the mobile phones 
  • All volunteers can enter the adoption centre after using Safe Entry, temperature check & safety declration.
  • We also encourage volunteers to come only if not unwell.​

We recently teamed up with Edelman Singapore, SAM (Society for Animal Matters), ASD (Action for Singapore Dogs), Chained Dog Awareness, and Mutts Rescue, as well as 9 unique Singapore residents to create this heartfelt film.
​
Through this campaign, we hope to promote inclusivity and reduce bias around shelter animals. Do share this with your family and friends and help #lendavoice and keep a lookout for a series of smaller clips featuring the “voiceovers” on the campaign’s YouTube page: https://youtu.be/1TLfjgtJAY0. #adoptdontshop.

VOLUNTEERS IN ACTION

Our CAS Education programme aims to help organisations and individuals in our community understand Animal Welfare issues in Singapore and learn animals related skills. Education is fundamental to helping raise awareness for the plight of animals in Singapore. The more you know the more power you have to be the change.

Every Fridays are corporate Fridays at CAS!

We work with company's to encourage staff to volunteer on site and do their part for animals in need. We recently  had two lovely teams from Google and ANZ Bank! They helped with feeding, showering and cleaning. CAS kennels are kept spick and span all day. We believe there is no reason that rescue animals in a shelter deserve any lesser than a clean, safe and conducive environment to be in.
​
Thank you Google and ANZ Bank for the amazing work ❤️

........................................................................
​We recently had a group of special visitors from ​North Vista Secondary School who kindly ran a fund raiser and awareness campaign in their school as part of their VIA (Values in Acttion) Project. 

The students also attended a tour to find out more about the work we do at CAS as well as the animals we care for. The students also left their mark by sponsoring a kennel in aid of the animals at CAS to help us continue our rescue and rehoming efforts. A Special Thank You to 3E1 as well as their form teachers for their effort and time to help street dogs and cats in Singapore via their efforts!

​Donation Scam Alert

We have been made aware that there are scammers impersonating as our volunteers and asking for donations. 

Please note that CAS does not solicit funds through telemarketing or door-to-doo fundraising campaigns. Please do not donate.

If you are ever approached in a public area from a person purporting to be a CAS volunteer, please first  ask to see his/her NRIC and a copy of the collector’s  Certificate of Authority issued by the Singapore Police Force.  A sample COA is attached. 

The Ministry of Culture, Community & Youth also provides useful tips on informed giving
