★ ✰ Corgi Allegedly Left In Sun At Seletar Condo For Over An Hour Daily And Dragged By Leash, SPCA Makes Urgent Visit ✰ ★

A corgi seen struggling to move and allegedly left in the afternoon sun for more than an hour a day has prompted concerns among residents at Nim Gardens, a condominium in Seletar.

Stomper K, a private animal rescuer, alerted Stomp to the case after receiving videos from a resident who was concerned about the dog’s welfare.

The resident told the rescuer that she first noticed the situation about two weeks ago and sought advice from dog-related Facebook groups as she was unsure whether the treatment was acceptable.

Videos taken on Aug 17 at about 1pm and shared with Stomp show the corgi apparently having difficulty using its hind legs.

In one clip, a woman holding the dog’s leash is seen pulling it along as its hindquarters drag across the ground. Another shows the dog on a grass patch, where it appears to struggle to move around.

According to K, residents had repeatedly observed the corgi being taken outside at around 1pm and allegedly left in the sun for more than an hour at a time.

The dog’s age is unknown, although the rescuer believes it is a senior dog based on its apparent physical condition. She said the resident had approached her after becoming increasingly worried about the animal.

“A number of other residents are aware of the corgi’s plight but advised her not to stir up trouble,” K told Stomp.

She added that she decided to share the case publicly as she hoped the dog’s welfare concerns could be addressed.

☆ Residents allegedly told dog had to be ‘sunned’ for an hour ☆

The Stomper also shared messages from the resident detailing neighbours’ concerns.

According to the resident, other residents had spoken to the domestic helper who handled the dog. The helper allegedly told them the dog’s owner would reprimand her if she did not put it in the sun for an hour each day.

The resident also recounted an incident in which the dog was allegedly pulled towards a lift, and the lift doors closed on it, prompting a neighbour to rush over to help.

“The neighbour told them to please don’t drag [the dog]. Use a trolley or something,” the resident said in a message to K.

☆ SPCA makes urgent visit after second report ☆

In response to a Stomp query, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) said it was first alerted to the case by a member of the public on Aug 18.

Its inspectors attempted to visit the family’s home on Aug 20 but received no response at the door.

A Management Corporation Strata Title (MCST) officer informed them that the Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS), a cluster of the National Parks Board (NParks), had attended to the case.

SPCA subsequently consulted AVS and said it was informed that investigations were under way. However, SPCA received a second report on Aug 24 raising concerns that the dog had again been seen under the hot sun for an hour that day.

“Given the rising temperatures and risk of heatstroke, our inspectors made an urgent visit on Aug 25 to check that the dog was safe if let outdoors,” SPCA said.

When the inspectors arrived, they saw the dog alone on a grass patch under direct sunlight and panting. The domestic helper was sitting nearby in the shade, SPCA said.

Inspectors spoke with her and advised on the dog’s welfare, including how to handle it if it was unable to walk on a leash due to weakness in its hind legs.

“In particular, dragging a dog by the leash can injure the dog or create a fearful association with walks,” SPCA said.

The inspectors then carried the corgi to a sheltered area and advised the helper to give it water to cool down. They also spoke to an MCST officer and subsequently managed to contact the dog’s owner by phone.

SPCA said its findings have been conveyed to the authorities to support their investigations.

Stomp has contacted NParks for more information.❣️

★ ✰ Shy Bengal Cat Missing For 92 Days After Escaping During Walk On Coney Island On 27 May ✰ ★

☆ Bengal cat goes missing on Coney Island during walk on 27 May ☆

While on a walk on Coney Island with his owners on 27 May, Simba, a Bengal cat, escaped from his carrier bag.

He had suddenly dashed into the forested area of the island.

Since Simba’s vanishing, his owners have been desperately searching for the cat. They’ve shared multiple missing posters online and even created a group on the messaging platform Telegram to aid the search effort.

While Simba has reportedly been sighted several times since, he unfortunately remains missing as of 27 Aug — 92 days since he ran off.

His owners are still hopeful he will be found and urge members of the public to reach out if they spot the cat.

☆ Simba spooked during walk ☆

Simba, who is a male and four years old, is identifiable by his tiger stripes and a large black patch on his back. He also wears a purple collar and has been microchipped.

Simba is described as a shy and timid cat. Although he may respond to his name, Victoria, Simba’s owner, also said he may hide for hours if scared.

Speaking to MS News, 27-year-old Victoria Leembruggen said she and her partner often take Simba on bike rides.

“We’ve done this many times before, including rides around Coney Island,” she said.

Victoria’s partner had taken Simba on one of their regular bike rides on the day of the incident.

“They had stopped by the beach area at Coney Island, and as usual, my partner slightly unzipped the carrier to comfort Simba with belly rubs and gentle head scratches, which Simba enjoys,” Victoria explained.

“However, during that moment, Simba suddenly jumped out of the bag.”

The sudden act caused the leash attached inside the carrier to snap and the latch to break. Victoria’s partner rushed to catch Simba, but the slippery feline quickly disappeared into the trees.

“He was spooked by something and jumped out the carrier and into the trees,” she wrote on Telegram.

“No one is at fault. Accidents are sudden and can happen anytime.”

☆ Search efforts ongoing ☆

The couple is unsure about what scared Simba.

“It could have been a bird or another unexpected trigger that caused him to panic. This behaviour is unusual for him as he is normally calm and relaxed inside his carrier,” she explained.

At 1.15am on 29 May, one of the Telegram users in the group said they had spotted Simba near the east entrance of Coney Island.

Photos and videos show a cat hiding in the vegetation just off the side of the road. Victoria had planned to use the location details to help trappers.

However, she later found out that Nparks does not allow animal traps to be set up on Coney Island. According to Victoria, the island is “protected” and “secured” after hours.

Even so, the worried owner has provided extra details for those who want to assist the search for Simba.

“He does like the sound of bells on cat toys,” she wrote. “No sudden movements or loud movements. He is easily scared and has anxiety.”

Her partner can also be found in the area searching for Simba, riding a bicycle and equipped with his pet’s carrier.

“If you see a guy walking around with this, that’s [him],” Victoria wrote.

☆ Owners are hopeful for their cat’s return ☆

So far, Victoria and her partner have received overwhelming support in their search for Simba.

“So many kind people have stepped forward to help my partner search for Simba during Coney Island’s opening hours,” she said. Despite the support, the search has not been easy.

“We have made multiple attempts to seek approval to set up cameras, humane traps, and other safe methods that could assist in bringing him home, but our requests have been unsuccessful,” Victoria explained.

“We completely understand and respect the strict regulations in place to protect the island and its wildlife, and we are complying with them. At the same time, these restrictions have made the search process far more difficult and limited the options available to us.”

Victoria, who has been overseas and unable to physically help search for Simba, finds hope in the support of others during the stressful ordeal.

“Many fellow pet owners have offered their time and assistance to help search for Simba around Coney Island,” she said.

“Until I return to Singapore, I’m doing everything I can remotely and staying positive, being patient and holding onto hope that we can bring Simba home safely.”

☆ Beloved Bengal cat missing for 92 days ☆

As of 27 Aug, 92 days after he went missing, the search for Simba remains ongoing.

Victoria had spotted him camouflaged in the bushes on Coney Island on 24 June and saw him a few times in the same area, but was unfortunately unable to capture him.

He was most recently sighted on the island on 3 July, with his purple collar removed. However, he has not been seen again since.

“We believe Simba is still on the island, enjoying the jungle life,” said Victoria.

The pet owner urges anyone visiting Coney Island to contact her on Instagram or message the Telegram group chat she created for the search if they spot a brown and dark golden-orange coloured, long-tailed cat with a black stripe on his back.

The Telegram chat also posts updates on Simba’s whereabouts and search efforts for those who wish to assist in bringing the feline home safely to his owners.

“We desperately want him home and constantly worry of his wellbeing,” the hopeful pet owner told MS News.❣️
