The park is the brainchild of MPS president Datuk Abd Hamid Hussain, which not only provides care and shelter for the cats but ensures public areas like food courts and hawker centres in the Sepang district are free of stray cats. She said the park practises the TNA approach, and all rescued cats are first given needed veterinary care and then neutered before they are handed over to people adopting them.
The cats are free to roam in the main building which is equipped with fans to keep them cool. They also have kibble to munch on all day and water to drink from a mini fountain. "To prevent any virus or bacteria from spreading, the site is lined with chalk and charcoal before filling it with soil. This also helps to prevent odour," she said, adding only one rescued cat had died so far, due to leukaemia.She added that even when the park was being planned, some MPS staff had already applied to work at the cat park.She said heading the cat park staff is feline"expert" Muhammad Ramdzan Johari, who is assisted by Khairul Anuar Md Rashid.
"Tengku Permaisuri graciously inaugurated this park on March 18, 2023. In fact, someone wanted to adopt the cat Tengku Permaisuri was seen holding and even offered us RM10,000 for it. But we decided not to hand over the cat, named Luna, to the person concerned," she said. Meanwhile, asked about the cats that left a deep impact on him, Muhammad Ramdzan, 36, shared the story of a cat named Mak Tam who arrived at the cat park with a big scar on its stomach.
