Community cats breathe outdoor air all day and night, with no air purifier and sometimes nowhere to retreat 😿
PM2.5 particles are 2.5 micrometres or smaller in diameter, small enough to pe*****te deep into the lungs when inhaled. Airborne particles can also settle on exposed surfaces, including feeding bowls and food. In Singapore’s warm conditions, food left out for too long can spoil and cause stomach upset.
If you feed community cats, offer fresh water, serve smaller portions in a sheltered spot, and take a little extra time to observe them. Watch for coughing, wheezing, noisy breathing or unusual tiredness. If you notice these signs, seek advice from a vet or community cat welfare group. Open-mouth breathing or visibly laboured breathing requires urgent veterinary attention.
And don’t forget to collect any bowls, plates, or paper you used to feed them, along with any leftover food 🥣
Spread awareness and help protect community cats 🧡
