Question No: 213 

Question by: Mr Alex Yeo 

To ask the Minister for National Development what is the Ministry's plan in the management of long-term community animals. 

Answer:  

The Trap-Neuter-Rehome/Release Manage (TNRM) programmes for free-roaming dogs and community cats were implemented since 2018 and 2024 respectively. In partnership with animal welfare groups, veterinarians and the community, these animals are humanely captured, sterilised, microchipped and ear tipped, before they are rehomed or released back into the community.  

NParks will continue to support the TNRM programme.
