There are simply too many cats for the number of homes that want a pet, and we humans are not always the most responsible guardians even when we do accept these animals into our homes. Too
frequently, cats end up lost or abandoned and revert to a feral lifestyle in order to survive. Animals
shelters suffer under the weight of high demand for services and too few resources, and the result is a
burgeoning population of unowned cats that urgently require attention and effective management.
There are some organisations that claim to have compassion for animals and to stand up against
cruelty to animals are not endowed financially nor have the capacity of house and care for the exploding
stray population. Ending up, they still comes out with the same situation which is abandoning animals
because of some reasons. Every year, thousands of cats suffer as strays and these high numbers are
the result of unplanned litters.The population dynamics of stray cats make the problem particularly
difficult to deal with, while the effects of predation by cats and the spread of disease affect all of us to
some extent.
Not only that, with the recent event of covid-19 pandemic have cause the government enforced
Movement Control Order(MCO) to control the spread of covid-19. Under MCO, many people staying
indoors and non-essential businesses including restaurant and roadside eateries were shut and closed.
This make the situation of stray animals becoming hard as their usual food and water supply from these
businesses and restaurants are suddenly cut off which causes them to face starvation and dehydration.
Hence, to combat the problems caused by the cat overpopulation crisis, we as a society need to
acknowledge the value of cats and raise the level of care and responsibility for these domestic animals.
So, animal welfare is one of the most important thing to overcome this problem. In this aspects, we need
to consider about animal care and its food during this pandemic.

The main objective of this project is to encourage everyone to do good deeds towards animals
and to help reduce the number of unwanted animals like cats in IPTA. This project will evoke feeling
of sympathy among us to the neglected animals on the streets which also encourages us to take
responsibility for reducing the suffering of the animals involved and ensuring that creature also enjoy a
better life. This streets animals was also the results of the growing population without having their basic
needs to live. Most people do not have the time or desire to breed from their cat and do not wish to add
the number of unwanted cats and kittens already looking for homes. So, our vision is more to population
control instead of end the suffering of stray cats by ensuring they get a healthier life and live longer. This
is beacuse there are many animals out there which are homeless and was forced to fight for survival
often times starving on the street, being injured and ultimately face untimely horrific deaths. So, we come
out with a mission to help and protect wild animals especially during this pandemic diseases.

We are chosing the theme of animal welfare and come out with the idea of helping the stray cats
during this pandemic disease. So, the first thing that we will do in order to succeed this project is to
recognizing the need of this project which already mentioned in the objective above. Secondly, before
doing on site activities, we are preparing a proposal which will be check and approved by our supervisor
of this project. This proposal will include the detail plans, specifications and cost estimation which also
essential to our sponsors since they will use it to evaluate our project and determine whether or not they
will allocate funds for this project. Furthermore, we have also announced this project, by making a short
video and posting on social media such as Instagram and Facebook. After being approved by Khind
Starfish Foundation, we will start doing a poster of donation, poster of neutering campaign (one of our
activities) and poster for finding the owner of cats.
Our team also do a discussion about the flow of this project which include, the outdoor activities
like find the owner of association of cat or dog adoption in Sabah, the budgeting of this project, and the
things that we will buy to donate to the organization. During on site activities, we are going to build a
DIY-cat-house by using materials that can be easily found and in a reasonable and affordable prices.
Not only that, one of our biggest activities is neutering the cats. We are going to find a homeless cats at 3
different institution and bring them to Klinik Haiwan & Surgeri Tuaran to be spay. We also donate some
food dispenser to ease the feeding of animals there. This is also one of our ways to support organization
or animal rescuers association in Sabah and indirectly give an awareness to all community to be aware
of their responsibilities to take care of other living things which in need. We have found one of the animal
rescuers association that agreed to do a collaboration with us, which named as ALIR Sabah. So,
basically this association is a nonprofit charitable organization which take care of the wild animals that in
need. In addition, we will find funds to buy the need of animals and give it to that association to increase
their facilities in order to treat all animals there. Last but not least, we will improve some of facilities at
ALIR Sabah so that they having a comfortable shelter to be living on.
Finally, after doing on-site activities, we will do final report which include the objectives of the
project, planning stages, organisational chart of our team, task description of position of each group
members, financial report, the implementation stages, and the limitation while doing this project. Not only
that, to make this project be carrying on, we will conducting a campaigns through online which is doing a
poster and announced through social media.
