In view of our Multiple Fund Policy where we only subsidise a maximum of 60% if rescuers apply to 2-3 funds (single fund, it is 50%), it has been brought to my attention that a certain rescuer has devised a way to procure 100% sponsorship for her medical cases by doing the following:
a. She claims 50% from one fund.
b. Her friend (in collaboration with her) claims 50% from other fund, using the same case, but under a different name.
It would then be two different rescuers claiming from two different funds, masquerading the case as two different cases. They can use photographs of two different animals as long as it fits the description of the actual animal who is sick.
How they are going to get two original receipts, I would not know, but they would probably just tell the vet they have lost the first receipt and get the vet to issue another.
To the rescuer who is intending to do this, we urge you not to – It is dishonest.
What goes around, comes around. You may be able to get away with it now, but the Universe will catch up with you…when you least expect it. I hope after reading this, you will not attempt to do it because we already know who you are.
We have policies, and we (the three organisations providing medical subsidies) consult with each other over joint subsidy claims. However, knowing the devious human mind, it can devise a thousand and one ways to cheat and beat our system. But, “the sky has eyes”, folks.
So, if I may be allowed to repeat myself – to the financially needy rescuer, you are most welcome to apply to our funds.
If you are financially needy, we will help you and your animals. If you are NOT financially needy but you still want to apply for charity, we will help your animals, and for you – may you be able to sleep well at night.

Just cannot understand how much richer can these people become by claiming from both sides! They want to have their cake and won’t share it BUT eat it all by themselves. I would say that they are very selfish and think only for themselves ‘cos for the bad things that they do, they will not suffer but their unfortunate loved ones will have to suffer and bear all the bad consequences instead! When one fine day and SOMETHING HAPPENS to their loved ones, then only will they open their eyes and see but it’s too late!
Dr Chan,
I am appalled by the intended action of this rescuer who is trying to cheat AnimalCare and your two partners in this joint Medical Fund scheme for stray animals.
Please kindly allow me to convey this message to that rescuer.
SHAME ON YOU, whoever you are! I hope you can reflect on your intended action and realise how wrong it will be. You will not just be cheating AnimalCare and its two partners, you will be depriving the other stray animals of medical aid.
If you are a rescuer, you should find ways and means of raising your own fund to pay for the medical cost of the animal you rescued. Do not take the easy way out by claiming 100% from these 3 parties.

Lie, cheat, steal…The day will come when you wished you had not done so. Doing bad deeds does not bode well for oneself, in this life or next. So please, because i love all living beings…Do good.
