Description

Begin your tour by meeting your guide and setting off on a walk through Chinatown. Discover a side of the neighborhood that most people never notice. Beyond the bustling streets and famous food spots lies a quiet network of rescuers, feeders, caregivers, and cats who have shaped the neighborhood in their own way. Explore the social history of cats in Singapore’s Chinatown, the lives of community cats today, the challenges faced by rescuers and caregivers, and how ordinary people are changing the lives of street cats through compassion and dedication. Learn how cats have always lived among us, yet they are strangely absent from traditional Chinese culture — they didn’t even make it into the Chinese Zodiac. Legend says they came in 13th place, just missing out. And yet, cats continue to be cherished companions and familiar figures in everyday life. Their presence can even be spotted throughout Chinatown in the murals of renowned artist Yip Yew Chong, where they quietly appear as part of Singapore’s living memories and street culture. Along the way, hear real rescue stories — including the journeys of Giant and Shirley, two cats who once roamed Chinatown’s streets before finding safety and a forever home with your guide.
