Singapore’s Animal & Veterinary Service has launched a new pilot program allowing approved fosterers to temporarily house more cats than standard legal limits. Under the scheme, eligible fosterers can keep up to six cats in HDB flats and up to ten in private residential properties. This initiative aims to support local animal welfare groups by providing a structured framework for fostering rescued cats while they await permanent adoption, ensuring high standards of care and hygiene are maintained.

- For private residential properties, the temporary limit is raised to ten cats, up from the standard limit of three.

- The scheme runs alongside Singapore’s new cat management framework, which officially allows HDB residents to legally own up to two cats.
