'void deck' is the empty spaces on the ground floor of HDB blocks.Rose12 wrote:Okay, what's a "void deck"? I am so sorry that you lost your cat. If she was that sweet I HOPE that someone took her in......
If you are renting a HDB flat, chances are the landlord will clearly disallow cats as pets. The logic from HDB is outdated (cats are nomadic creatures that must roam outside etc) but the regulation stays. I'd avoid renting HDBs if you have a cat. The landlord may well come in one day and chase the cat out of the flat, pretending that it's a stray etc.We won't take the chance of having our beloved Dante taken away from us if we got found out. I honestly think it would kill me I love that cat so much. I've had many cats in the past but he is really special (in so many senses of the word!!!!).
Most private residential condos have regulations about dogs rather than cats (because dogs do bark and owners tend to forget to clean up after they've done their business around the estate). So it's not likely that condos will not allow cats per se. But landlords may insist no pets allowed and it's up to you to negotiate with them on this. For condos there isn't an island-wide regulation against cats. I live in one and I brought my ragdoll over from the UK (12 hr flight + journey time from home outside of London/wait/export time etc = 20 hrs thereabouts). From the UK no quarantine's required so we picked up our grumpy cat from the animal health authority at Changi and zoomed him back home. he was happy to be out and about of his cage inside the car (although that's illegal too!).No, it's on the up and up for us. I would still appreciate some feedback on how prevalent it is for condos and apartment complexes to forbid cats. Is it more of a situation where the actual owner of the condo forbade cats or is it an issue of the complex forbidding them? I would imagine that owners of the better furnished apartments would be more likely to forbid cats than say an owner of an unfurnished apartment.
