Learn how to navigate the new Pet Cat Licensing Scheme and create a happy environment for your feline friend."],"attrs_boilerpipe_text":"Exciting news for pawrents (or soon-to-be pawrents): the Housing and Development Board (HDB) in Singapore has officially legalised pet cat ownership in HDB flats! \nResidents are now allowed to keep up to two cats and one small breed dog per unit as outlined in the Housing and Development (Animals) Rules. The Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) has also kicked off the Cat Management Framework on September 1, which requires mandatory licensing and microchipping for pet cats in both HDB flats and private premises. \nWhether you’re a first-time cat owner or an experienced pawrent, this guide provides everything you need to know about the new Pet Cat Licensing scheme, along with helpful tips and answers to frequently asked questions.\nPet Cat Licensing Scheme\nThe Pet Cat Licensing Scheme is an initiative under the Cat Management Framework aimed at encouraging responsible cat ownership. It states that all pet cats must be microchipped and licensed by the end of the transition period (1 September 2026). \nIn this section, let’s dive into some important features of the scheme! Specifically, we’ll explore the mandatory microchipping and Pet Ownership Course you’ll need to complete. \nHow to get your cat microchipped\nMicrochipping is mandatory to apply for a Cat Ownership Licence. Follow this quick guide to get your feline friend microchipped:\nStep 1:\nSchedule an appointment with a\nveterinary clinic\nand confirm that they provide microchipping services\nStep 2:\nGet your cat microchipped and obtain the microchip number from the vet\nStep 3:\nRegister your cat’s microchip in the\nAVS microchip registry\nAVS also occasionally offers free health checks and microchipping services for pet cats and dogs during their\nPets’ Day Out\nevents – a great chance to get your cat microchipped for free!\nPet Ownership Course\nAll first-time cat licence applicants must complete AVS’s one-time free online\npet ownership course\n. Completion of the course is also required before applying for a cat licence.\nThis course takes just 20 to 30 mins, and participants will learn about basic pet care and responsible ownership, ensuring they are well-equipped to keep a pet. \nHow to apply for a cat licence\nOnce your cat is microchipped and you have completed the pet ownership course, you can proceed to license them through AVS’s\nPet Animal Licensing System (PALS)\n. For sterilised cats, a one-time licence is issued for free. On the other hand, unsterilised cats will receive a free licence only covering the transition period. \nAfter the transition period, licence prices and types differ for sterilised and unsterilised cats. This table illustrates the difference in fees during and after the transition period:\nSterilised\nUnsterilised\nBefore transition period\nOne-time free licence\nFree licence only covers the transition period\nAfter transition period\nS$35 per sterilised cat for a one-time licence\nS$230 per unsterilised cat for a three-year licence\nOther Initiatives In The Cat Management Framework\nWhile the following procedures aren’t required for cat parents, think of practices like sterilisation and vaccination as part of being a great cat guardian! These steps ensure your kitty has a long, healthy life filled with purrs and cuddles.\nSterilising your cat\nAVS strongly encourages pet owners to sterilise their cats, as it can reduce the risk of certain health issues, as well as prevent overpopulation. Sterilisation should always be done by a\nprofessional veterinarian\n. \nAdditionally, the cost of licensing a sterilised cat is lower than that for a non-sterilised cat. To further support this effort, AVS offers a\nPet Cat Sterilisation Programme\n, which provides free sterilisation and microchipping for pet cats in low-income households.\nVaccinating your cat\nVaccination of your cat is strongly recommended by AVS to protect them from infectious diseases. Vaccinations should be administered by a vet, who will provide guidance on the appropriate vaccination timeline based on your pet’s specific needs. \nHere is a rundown of the estimated vaccination timeline: \nFirst dose\nBetween 6 and 8 weeks of age\nSubsequent boosters for kittens\nGiven every 2 to 4 weeks until the kitten is at least 16 weeks old\nFirst adult booster\nGiven within one year after the final kitten vaccination\nSubsequent vaccines for adult cats\nRegular boosters after the initial series are recommended\nAdditional Tips for a HDB Cat Owner\nIn this section, we’ll share some helpful tips for HDB cat parents. These range from getting your flat ready for your new feline friend to managing neighbour relations with a new pet!\nPreparing your HDB flat for a cat\nAs a responsible cat owner, you’d want to take steps to protect your fur baby from hazards. This includes installing mesh, grilles, or other barriers to prevent your cat from falling from heights. \nAdditionally, a variety of\ntoys\naids in feline mental engagement, especially in a smaller living space where natural exploration may be limited. To protect your furniture, also give your cat a suitable outlet for scratching by providing\nscratching posts\n. Lastly, your furry friend will need a\nlitter box\nwhere they can relieve themselves. Check out our article on the\ntypes of cat litters\nto choose the best one for your lifestyle and cat’s needs.\nNeighbour relations\nBefore your cat moves in, here are some steps you can take to prepare your neighbour for your new feline companion:\nInform neighbours\n: Let your neighbours know that you will be bringing a cat into the building \nAddress potential noise issues\n: Discuss any concerns about noise, such as meowing, and reassure them that you will manage the noise level\nOffer contact information:\nProvide your neighbours with your contact details, so they can reach out to you if any issues arise\nBe considerate:\nTake steps to\nmake sure your cat does not intrude on your neighbour’s property or destroy any of their belongings\nBringing your cat to public spaces\nCats are naturally curious and may be tempted to roam, which can lead to accidents or getting lost in unfamiliar areas. By using a harness or keeping your cat in a\ncarrier\n, you ensure they stay safe while still enjoying the outdoors.\nVeterinary care\nCats, like all pets, rely on their owners to provide them with necessary medical attention. Regular visits to the veterinarian are important for your cat’s health. These check-ups help monitor your cat’s overall condition, catch any potential health issues early, and ensure they’re up-to-date on vaccinations. \nPet insurance\nWhen considering\npet insurance\n, you may want to compare different providers and their coverage options while staying within your budget. Look closely at the coverage options to see what is included and any exclusions that may apply. Some policies might cover routine care, while others focus primarily on emergencies and illnesses. \nUnderstanding these details will help you choose the right insurance for your cat, ensuring that you’re prepared for any potential medical expenses without breaking the bank.\nStarting from September 1, 2026, after the two-year transition period, it will be an offence to keep unlicensed pet cats. Owners who are found to have unlicensed pet cats may face a fine of up to S$5,000 under the Animals and Birds Rules upon conviction.\nDuring the transition period, all cat licences will be issued for free. Sterilised cats will receive one-time licences with lifetime validity, while unsterilised cats will be issued licences covering just the transition period. Please note that licences for both sterilised and unsterilised cats will incur a fee upon renewal after the transition period ends.\nRachel\nWhen she isn't looking for cats to pet, Rachel probably has one on her lap. Cats remain her favourite animal, with tigers coming a close second – unfortunately the latter won't be approved for HDB ownership anytime soon.","attrs_markdown":"![](https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tr?id=319142505318037&ev=PageView&noscript=1)\n\n[Facebook](https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PetLoversCentreSingapore\/ \"Facebook\")     [Instagram](https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/plc_singapore\/?hl=en \"Instagram\")     [TikTok](https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@plc_singapore \"TikTok\")     [Twitter](https:\/\/twitter.com\/PLC_Singapore \"Twitter\")     [Youtube](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC6YY1K6ITpSiAlbXggELBaA \"Youtube\")\n\n- [Dogs](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/dogs\/)\n- [Cats](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/cats\/)\n- [Small Pets](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/small-pets\/)\n  - [Guinea pigs](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/small-pets\/guinea-pigs\/)\n  - [Hamsters](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/small-pets\/hamsters\/)\n  - [Rabbits](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/small-pets\/rabbits\/)\n- [Others](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/others\/)\n  - [Birds](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/others\/birds\/)\n  - [Fishes](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/others\/fishes\/)\n  - [Terrapins](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/others\/terrapins\/)\n- [Brand Discovery](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/brand-discovery\/)\n- [Pet Care Consultant](https:\/\/www.petloverscentre.com\/pet-care-consultant)\n- [Shop](https:\/\/www.petloverscentre.com\/)\n- [Contact Us](https:\/\/customercare.petloverscentre.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/7004710787993-Contact-Us)\n\n[![Logo](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/pet-lovers-centre-90.jpg)](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/)\n\n[![Logo](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/pet-lovers-centre-90.jpg)](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/)\n\n- [Dogs](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/dogs\/)\n- [Cats](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/cats\/)\n- [Small Pets](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/small-pets\/)\n  - [Guinea pigs](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/small-pets\/guinea-pigs\/)\n  - [Hamsters](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/small-pets\/hamsters\/)\n  - [Rabbits](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/small-pets\/rabbits\/)\n- [Others](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/others\/)\n  - [Birds](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/others\/birds\/)\n  - [Fishes](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/others\/fishes\/)\n  - [Terrapins](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/others\/terrapins\/)\n- [Brand Discovery](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/brand-discovery\/)\n- [Pet Care Consultant](https:\/\/www.petloverscentre.com\/pet-care-consultant)\n- [Shop](https:\/\/www.petloverscentre.com\/)\n- [Contact Us](https:\/\/customercare.petloverscentre.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/7004710787993-Contact-Us)\n\n[Cats](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/category\/cats\/)\n\n# Owning Cats in HDB Flats: Essential Guidelines and Regulations for Pet Owners To Note\n[![Rachel](https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c29f1ef23c99e775eaf2b173165c11cc42ce62fe8a510826dabc3250fdb67db1?s=96&d=mm&r=g)](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/author\/rachel\/ \"Rachel\")\n\nBy [Rachel](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/author\/rachel\/)\n\nSeptember 27, 2024\n\n[![Cat in a house](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Owning-cats-in-HDB-flats-696x451.png)](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Owning-cats-in-HDB-flats.png)\n\n### Contents \\[hide\\]\n- [Pet Cat Licensing Scheme](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/hdb-cat\/#pet-cat-licensing-scheme)\n- [Other Initiatives In The Cat Management Framework](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/hdb-cat\/#other-initiatives-in-the-cat-management-framework)\n- [Additional Tips for a HDB Cat Owner](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/hdb-cat\/#additional-tips-for-a-hdb-cat-owner)\n- [FAQs About Owning HDB Cats](https:\/\/blog.petloverscentre.com\/hdb-cat\/#faqs-about-owning-hdb-cats)\n\nExciting news for pawrents (or soon-to-be pawrents): the Housing and Development Board (HDB) in Singapore has officially legalised pet cat ownership in HDB flats\\!\n\nResidents are now allowed to keep up to two cats and one small breed dog per unit as outlined in the Housing and Development (Animals) Rules.

How to apply for a cat licence Once your cat is microchipped and you have completed the pet ownership course, you can proceed to license them through AVS’s Pet Animal Licensing System (PALS) .

This table illustrates the difference in fees during and after the transition period: Sterilised Unsterilised Before transition period One-time free licence Free licence only covers the transition period After transition period S$35 per sterilised cat for a one-time licence S$230 per unsterilised cat for a three-year licence Other Initiatives In The Cat Management Framework While the following procedures aren’t required for cat parents, think of practices like sterilisation and vaccination as part of being a great cat guardian! These steps ensure your kitty has a long, healthy life filled with purrs and cuddles. Sterilising your cat AVS strongly encourages pet owners to sterilise their cats, as it can reduce the risk of certain health issues, as well as prevent overpopulation.

Vaccinating your cat Vaccination of your cat is strongly recommended by AVS to protect them from infectious diseases. Vaccinations should be administered by a vet, who will provide guidance on the appropriate vaccination timeline based on your pet’s specific needs. Here is a rundown of the estimated vaccination timeline: First dose Between 6 and 8 weeks of age Subsequent boosters for kittens Given every 2 to 4 weeks until the kitten is at least 16 weeks old First adult booster Given within one year after the final kitten vaccination Subsequent vaccines for adult cats Regular boosters after the initial series are recommended Additional Tips for a HDB Cat Owner In this section, we’ll share some helpful tips for HDB cat parents. These range from getting your flat ready for your new feline friend to managing neighbour relations with a new pet! Preparing your HDB flat for a cat As a responsible cat owner, you’d want to take steps to protect your fur baby from hazards. This includes installing mesh, grilles, or other barriers to prevent your cat from falling from heights. Additionally, a variety of toys aids in feline mental engagement, especially in a smaller living space where natural exploration may be limited. To protect your furniture, also give your cat a suitable outlet for scratching by providing scratching posts . Lastly, your furry friend will need a litter box where they can relieve themselves. Check out our article on the types of cat litters to choose the best one for your lifestyle and cat’s needs. Neighbour relations Before your cat moves in, here are some steps you can take to prepare your neighbour for your new feline companion: Inform neighbours : Let your neighbours know that you will be bringing a cat into the building Address potential noise issues : Discuss any concerns about noise, such as meowing, and reassure them that you will manage the noise level Offer contact information: Provide your neighbours with your contact details, so they can reach out to you if any issues arise Be considerate: Take steps to make sure your cat does not intrude on your neighbour’s property or destroy any of their belongings Bringing your cat to public spaces Cats are naturally curious and may be tempted to roam, which can lead to accidents or getting lost in unfamiliar areas. By using a harness or keeping your cat in a carrier , you ensure they stay safe while still enjoying the outdoors. Veterinary care Cats, like all pets, rely on their owners to provide them with necessary medical attention. Regular visits to the veterinarian are important for your cat’s health. These check-ups help monitor your cat’s overall condition, catch any potential health issues early, and ensure they’re up-to-date on vaccinations. Pet insurance When considering pet insurance , you may want to compare different providers and their coverage options while staying within your budget. Look closely at the coverage options to see what is included and any exclusions that may apply. Some policies might cover routine care, while others focus primarily on emergencies and illnesses. Understanding these details will help you choose the right insurance for your cat, ensuring that you’re prepared for any potential medical expenses without breaking the bank. Starting from September 1, 2026, after the two-year transition period, it will be an offence to keep unlicensed pet cats. Owners who are found to have unlicensed pet cats may face a fine of up to S$5,000 under the Animals and Birds Rules upon conviction. During the transition period, all cat licences will be issued for free. Sterilised cats will receive one-time licences with lifetime validity, while unsterilised cats will be issued licences covering just the transition period. Please note that licences for both sterilised and unsterilised cats will incur a fee upon renewal after the transition period ends. Rachel When she isn't looking for cats to pet, Rachel probably has one on her lap. Cats remain her favourite animal, with tigers coming a close second – unfortunately the latter won't be approved for HDB ownership anytime soon.
