Pets Villa is a non-profit shelter in Singapore run by Animal Lovers League.

With a no-kill policy, the organisation claims to have around 500 cats and dogs under their care.

Sadly, with a debt of S$48,000 (three months' rent), they are currently in danger of closing down, which will leave hundreds of animals with nowhere to go.

The shelter reportedly has until end-June 2019 to clear the debt.

In a bid to continue its operations, Animal Lovers League has put up an Instagram post appealing for funds.

High overheads

Besides the rental fee, the non-profit organisation also has to keep up with other operational costs such as food and medical costs.

To cover the expenses, abandoned animals that are brought to Pets Villa require a "minimal" monthly boarding and a sponsorship fee.

Sponsoring a cat costs S$60 per month, while a dog costs S$130 per month.

The fee is chargeable to everyone who brings in an animal, whether be it a stray or a former pet.

Unfortunately, not everyone keeps up with the payment.

This is not the first time the organisation has met with financial problems.
