Private companies do not require approval from the Director-General, Animal Health and Welfare, to take and trap community animals such as community cats and free-roaming dogs.  

However, they must adhere to the handling and transport guidelines stipulated under the Code of Animal Welfare (for the Pet Industry).  During trapping, transport and temporary holding periods, animals must be handled humanely and safely. Veterinary attention must also be sought if the animals are sick or injured, to prevent unnecessary pain or suffering. 

The captured animals must be handed over to the Animal Management Centre (AMC) located at 57 Sungei Tengah Road Singapore 699013. The delivery must be conducted by an animal management company during operating hours.  

If the trapped animals cannot be immediately handed over to AMC, they must be held in a suitable, safe and sheltered holding location with appropriate food and clean drinking water provided. The animals should be sent to the AMC on the next working day.  

Please note that captured animals should not be released or relocated elsewhere as this could disrupt population dynamics at existing sites, potentially lead to population increases due to breeding, and may compromise the welfare of the community animals if they are removed from their regular caregivers.
