The SSC, through its Animal Surveillance Brigade, is facilitating the adoptions. A spokesperson for the secretariat highlighted the emotional rewards of pet ownership, stating, "There are cats waiting for someone to choose them, to love them and give them a home. Come meet them and discover all the love a little life can bring to yours."
