HAPPY TALES: Hestir
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Serafin: “My previous cat passed recently due to kidney failure and I longed for another companion. At SPCA, Hestir was the most enthusiastic towards me and that’s how I brought her home.

OUR SINGAPORE SPECIALS: BAXTER (UP FOR ADOPTION) 🇸🇬
Today is Day 2570 since Baxter came into the SPCA as a 1-month-old puppy in 2013, shy and clueless about our world. As he was too young to be on his own, a volunteer fostered him until he was old enough to be adopted. However, Baxter did not have luck in finding a family.
As part of the enrichment program for long-term stayers, Baxter was introduced to Nosework; an excellent form of dog enrichment for mental stimulation and relaxation t...

OUR SINGAPORE SPECIALS: KEIJI (UP FOR ADOPTION) 🇸🇬
When Keiji was given up by his previous owners in 2018, we discovered his fear of people ‘stealing’ his toys. He loved chasing balls but disliked people taking them away. He would stand over the ball, clutching it with his paws or hovering his mouth over it. ⚽🐕 But now, he loves playing fetch! 😃
Watch the video to see how our volunteer dog mentors helped him. He may have had a rough past but he has been patiently waiting for...

OUR SINGAPORE SPECIALS: SPOTTY (UP FOR ADOPTION)
Spotty was 6 months old when he came to us in May 2012. It’s been 8 years and he’s still patiently waiting for his forever home. 💙
He loves to play but can be fearful and is still learning how to navigate our world. He doesn’t enjoy long walks as the outside environment can cause him stress. Hence, he does enrichment activities like solving puzzle toys, nose work, positive reinforcement training, and playing fetch.
As part of his in-ke...

HAPPY TALES: HAPPY, ADOPTED BY CLARA & HENRYK
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Clara & Henryk: “We initially planned on adopting another dog, Dexter, from SPCA. We visited him every weekend for three months and Happy was his shelter neighbour. Whenever we visited Dexter, Happy would rush to his gate for attention! One day, we found Happy’s cage empty and for some reason I cried thinking that I wouldn’t see him again. That’s when we knew we had fallen in love with him.

SPCA RESCUES: CATS STUCK ON LEDGE

Earlier this month, our rescue officer responded to two reports of cats found on the ledges of blocks at the 8th and 11th floor. One cat was said to be there for three days.

Crouched on all fours, our officer coaxed the cats gently; one wrong move could startle them and risk their lives. Thankfully, they were brought to safety and sent to SPCA for further checks. Both fur balls are doing well and if not cla...

ADOPTION Spotlight: Timon
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s handsome Timon, casually stealing your girl. This 5-year-old Singapore Special has no bad angles. His playful side seems to come out in the late afternoon and his plan is to find the tallest piece of grass to roll (or pee) on.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At home, he loves a good tug of war with a belly rub after. His short fur coat is lockdown-proof. He takes time to adapt to changes, so do be patient. But once you bribe him over, h...

HAPPY TALES: BLUEBELL
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Bluebell was adopted from SPCA in November 2019. We saw her smiling in a photo and knew we had to meet her. Turns out, she was just as cheerful as her photo suggested! Her favourite toy now is her frisbee. Her favourite place to sit is on the sofa, watching birds in the trees. She likes boiled eggs as a special treat and tiny squares of cheese when she's been very good. She's not a fan of bin bags or wheelie bins. She also dislikes having baths;...
