Many strays are left out on the streets because of insufficient space at shelters.

The PAWS Animal Welfare Society and Second Chance Animal Society said they have seen a drop in the number of adoptions, donations and volunteers over the last eight months. “We have found it difficult to rehome strays and our donations have also dropped. We are already on a very tight budget all the time, but now we are burning into our reserves.”Lim said the number of adoptions at PAWS had decreased by 30% to 40% over the last few months, with the shelter losing RM70,000 in donations during the first phase of the movement control order .

Kim Yeoh, president of the Second Chance Animal Society, said the shelter was struggling for funds and manpower and was unable to run weekly and monthly adoption drives, which were used to educate the public on the importance of neutering.However, some shelters have found it easier to sustain their business, with My Pets Haven noting an increase in adoptions since the MCO.
