Caring in Malaysia

  • Kucing kampung are adapted to Malaysia’s climate and are widely available for adoption.
  • Provide shade, fresh water and parasite control in hot, humid conditions.
  • Neutering helps reduce roaming and unwanted litters.

For health concerns, consult a licensed veterinarian in Malaysia.
