Shuk Weng
Vice President
Shuk Weng's love affair with cats started more than 25 years ago when she was still an undergraduate. At that time, she was involved with feeding the community cats in her neighbourhood, and bringing them for sterilisation where possible and to the vets’ when necessary.
However, over the years, with work demands and family commitments, her involvement with community cats became much reduced.
Three years ago, Shuk Weng made the decision to step back from the legal profession and move her focus back to her first love - working with the cat community. It was at around that time that she met Michelle, and together they decided to set up Singapore’s first fear-free cat boarding, thereby bringing into fruition her childhood dream. It was a long but fulfilling journey setting up Catnap Feline Suites, and she has not looked back since.
Shuk Weng is currently the Director of Catnap Feline Suites.
