About 30 Community Cats ‘Invade’ Senoko Power Station After Surrounding Businesses Shut Down

Normally, you would hear a worksite being taken over by cockroaches or by hungry ghosts but this time, things are a little different at this worksite.

In fact, they were taken over by cats.

About 30 Community Cats ‘Invade’ Senoko Power Station After Surrounding Businesses Shut Down

The time has finally come where cats are taking over the world. About 30 cats were found in the Senoko Power Station after surrounding businesses shut down.

These cats were not sterilised, which means these cats still have the ability to produce multiple kittens. In a world where kittens roam the streets rent-free, unsterilised cats are a concern to the public for they may double or triple the cat population in two to three months.

Before you know it, Singapore will be filled with kittens… which does not seem to be much of a problem until they destroy your garden and treat your doorsteps like their personal toilet.

Additionally, the increasing number of stray cats that pop up at the power station poses a safety hazard. As you would expect of a power station in the industrial site, heavy machinery and bulldozers operate in that site.

Unlike most humans, cats can’t read the safety signs so they roam about wherever they want, including into the dangerous and busy parts of the site.

In fact, about 20 daredevils cats had wandered into the area where welding and machine cutting works were performed.

Two of the cats that were in the power station have suffered crush injuries. That resulted in limb amputation.

Thus, the company has engaged a professional cat trapper who works with the Cat Welfare Society (CWS) to safely remove these cats.

The Cats were Rescued

On 19 Sep, 17 cats, five adult cats and 12 kittens were trapped.

As the kittens were too young to understand that the power station is not a play zone, they were fostered and rehomed.

10 out of 12 of these kittens were adopted while the senior vice president and head of legal and compliance at Senoko Energy, Ms Cindy Lim, fostered the rest.

The adult cats were sterilised and returned to the power station to join the power station’s 10 resident cats. They will be cared for by Ms Lim and the employees of the power station.

As for the rest of the cats that think they got away without being trapped, bad news for them for there will be another session in November to trap and neuter the remaining 12 strays.
