THE SPCA’s STERILISATION VOUCHER SCHEME IS BACK!
Trap-Neuter-Release-Manage (TNRM) of community dogs and cats, sometimes referred to as street animals or strays, is the most humane and effective method of population control. This involves sterilising the animal so it can no longer reproduce and then responsibly managing the animal in the community while it lives out its life.

OUR LONGEST STAYING RESIDENT; DINO HAS BEEN ADOPTED AFTER SPENDING FIVE YEARS AT SPCA
Remember Dino, our longest staying resident after Ida was adopted in February 2016?

The tide has changed for Dino. After spending the past five years in our shelter, we ...
