The cat in the flat: Singapore lifts ban on pets in public housing
Public consultation found widespread support to allow cats in the city's Housing and Development Board flats, in which 80% of the population live.
Rescued cats found at Singapore's first cageless cat adoption centre and cat cafe at Joo Chiat.
The 34-year ban will be overturned, allowing the city’s many fugitive cats to breathe a sigh of relief.
The ban, which carries a fine of up to SGD$4,000 (US$2,970) and the risk of a pet's eviction, is widely flouted in Singapore.

'It was wet. It was filthy. It was aggressive. I said, I'll take the racoon. But keeping exotic pets is cruel.' Wildside Exotic Rescue.
Lindsay McKenna's wildlife centre takes in exotic animals when owners can't cope. She and other experts fear the law is failing the very animals it is designed to protect.
Wildside Exotic Rescue - a centre near Ross-on-Wye that now houses animals from meerkats to mountain lions, mostly from UK homes.
Keeping such animals is not illegal - the Dangerous Wild Animals (DWA) Act 1976 permits private ownership with a licence from the council. But now experts, charities and even some owners are raising concerns that the act is failing the very animals it is designed to protect.

Wildcats released in Scottish Highlands in effort to prevent extinction in UK
Nineteen captive-bred cats released at secret location in Cairngorms in first phase of rewilding project.
Nearly 20 young wildcats have been released into the wild in a pine forest in the Scottish Highlands, in the first phase of a project to rescue the species from extinction in the UK.
The cats were reared at a wildlife park operated by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) as part of a breeding programme that will eventually lead to about 60 wildcats being released in the Cairngorm mountains south of Inverness.
The project, the first time a predatory mammal has been deliberately reintroduced in the UK, was set up after the cats’ numbers plummeted as a result of significant losses of native woodland, human persecution and interbreeding with domestic cats.
In 2019, a landmark report by the International Union for Conservation of Nature said the Scottish wildcat population was close to being functionally extinct because of a loss of genetic integrity and population decline. Its wild population, estimated then to be about 30 animals, was found to be "no longer viable".

The cats are on show in the park, and also bred in captivity at the park for release into the Cairngorms National Park.
