She dedicated her life to saving Singapore’s strays, spending more than $3 million over two decades of animal rescue.
Lee Siew Ying, founder of Mettacats & Dogs Sanctuary, died on Sunday (Nov 17) from stomach cancer.
During her final moments, Lee, 66, kept the animals she cared for close to her heart.
Her son Terry shared with Lianhe Zaobao that she had entrusted the shelter to him.
The 37-year-old said that his mum was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer in April this year after she fainted while feeding cats.
“Mum couldn’t bear to part with the animals,” he added.
“When she was undergoing chemotherapy, she continued to feed them at the shelter. She was also sewing catnip toys to raise funds for the shelter.”
Since 1999, the sanctuary has taken in thousands of injured, abandoned and abused cats and dogs in Singapore, providing them much-needed tender loving care.
