A PET IS FOR LIFE – NOT JUST A SEASON
Recently, we have received a surge of requests – both from potential adopters who want to get an animal as a gift for their loved ones and from owners who want to surrender their pets to us. These pets are being cleared out of their homes just like old furniture, because the owners do not have time for them anymore.
Hence, if you are thinking of giving a pet as a gift this season, please think twice.
Before taking the leap, consider this for yoursel...

A CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEA

Getting a pet is a personal choice as it involves a lifetime of commitment. If you are unsure about making the commitment, we have an equally adorable gift idea for you!

REUNITED, & IT FEELS SO GOOD
At SPCA, we encounter many cases and stories every day. One of our favourite stories has to be when lost pets are reunited with their owners.
Yesterday, a kind member of public approached our reception counter with a golden-coloured toy poodle. He shared that he found it in Jurong and thought to hand it over to us, so we could help find the dog’s rightful owner.
With the power of social media, the dog’s family found out that their dog was at SPCA and rushed to...

HOW BIG CAN YOU GROW?
Terrapins are commonly seen and kept as pets in Singapore. Due to their initial tiny stature and low cost, they are often bought on impulse. However, not many know that they can grow up to 12 inches, which is a size of a dinner plate.
Terrapins have a long lifespan of 20 to 50 years, which makes taking care of them is a long-term commitment. We constantly share that pet is a lifetime commitment, so do think twice before getting one.

FOSSIL, FOREVER MY #1
We are always happy to receive updates from owners who adopted their pets from us. Hence, we were delighted to receive a paw-sitive review from a cat owner who adopted one of our longer-staying residents, Fossil the cat, two months ago.
As a first-time cat owner, she appreciated how our shelter staff members helped introduce her to a cat which would best match her lifestyle. They recommended Fossil, an eight-year-old adult cat who came to SPCA in 2016. Fossil loves human ...

CHANEL THE COURAGEOUS CAT
In October, we received a call about a badly injured cat found along Upper Jurong Road. The kind caller waited for our animal rescue officer to arrive to ensure the cat’s safety. Upon arrival, our officer saw that the cat was still alert but had one eye seemingly out of its socket with blood stains around the eye area. The cat was brought back to our clinic for a medical check. She was named Chanel as she kept her classic charm despite her medical condition.
