Here’s an extract of the talk:

Steven Chia, number:
Are your animals being purchased more frequently these days? Have you witnessed an increase in sales? And is there any way for you to claim:” Hey, sometimes you don’t get a cat”?

Samantha Chia, user of ChubbyBuddy Cats:
Since COVID-19, there’s certainly been a powerful surge in demand in animal rights. &nbsp, For us, we prescreen our users. We insist on getting to know them before buying them a rabbit. We talk about what’s needed and how important it is for them to live. &nbsp, &nbsp,

Crispina Robert, number:
What types of inquiries do you make? &nbsp,

Samantha:
We ask them questions like:” How long are (your ) working hours”?,” If you travel for work, what are your arrangements”?,” Are you going to send them to boarding ( homes ), or do you have a friend who will come over”?,” Are you willing to hire a pet sitter? ( Cats ) &nbsp, can’t be left alone for long periods of time”.

Finally we ask ( if they are ) mentally prepared for vet costs. due to high veterinary costs in Singapore. &nbsp, &nbsp,
