Pet cat licensing scheme kicks in on Sept 1: Here’s what you need to know


If the authorities receive feedback that these rules are being flouted, owners will be advised to take the necessary mitigation measures.

For cats in flats, HDB will work closely with AVS to engage owners and advise them on responsible cat ownership.

If such owners repeatedly refuse to cooperate and manage their pets properly despite advisories from the authorities, after they have been given sufficient time to do so, HDB may take enforcement action.

Offenders may face a fine of up to $4,000.

What sterilisation programmes is my cat eligible for?

AVS said it strongly encourages cat owners to sterilise their cats before licensing them.

Sterilising cats will not only prevent unintended breeding, but offers health benefits to the cats as well. They have a reduced risk of certain cancers, and are less likely to roam and caterwaul.

AVS’ Pet Cat Sterilisation Support (PCSS) programme for pet cats will also start from Sept 1.

The PCSS programme supports low-income households by providing free sterilisation and microchipping for their pet cats. For more information on eligibility and registration, visit go.gov.sg/avs-pcss
