Please do not bring or leave animals at Ti-Ratana Cheras. Ti-Ratana Cheras is not a public animal surrender, intake, boarding or adoption facility. We are unable to accept cats, dogs, strays, wildlife or other animals brought to the centre without prior written agreement. The animals currently living at the centre are resident animals already under care. Their presence does not mean that additional animals can be accepted.
