STOP USING GLUE TRAPS - YOU’RE KILLING OUR CATS
Cats turning up to our #SPCASingapore Community Animal Clinic covered in glue is a constant and painful occurrence. It’s so common that sometimes we can get up to 3-4 cases in just a week.
We have long advocated against the use of glue traps due to the harm and extreme suffering it causes to the unintended victim. When an animal gets caught in these traps, their struggle to escape causes chunks of fur to be ripped from their skin. If the glu...

SPCA HISTORY
Did you know? SPCA’s old premise at Mount Vernon was officially opened on this day, 14 April 1984. That is 38 years ago! We’ve come a long way as an organisation, but some things will never change, and that is our love for animals. We’ll always be #friendsforlife. Thank you to all our two-legged and four-legged furriends who have been with us all these years, the SPCA would not be possible without you. 💙

A BIRDEN
#SPCASingapore was alerted that there was a parakeet in a upside-down predicament. While we generally do not attend to bird rescues (due to the lack of proper equipment), our officers understood that this was an urgent situation as the caller mentioned that the parrot had been hanging in the same position for at least two days. Thankfully, further inspection by our Animal Rescue Officers revealed that the parrot was mostly in good health - lively but struggling to detach itself from th...

ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT: CALEB
HELLO!!!!!! My name is Caleb and I’m looking for a furmily that will play, play, and play with me! Everyone at SPCA calls me the most energetic baby even though I am actually 5 years old this year. (Pssst. Don't tell my friends but they also call me the handsomest boi)
I was chosen before when I was still a tiny kitten. I was so happy! I jumped, I played, I zoomed all day long!!! But after 2 years, I was sent back to the SPCA. I’m not sure why. I’ve been trying ...

A ROTTING LEG, NANI?!
#SPCASingapore was alerted to a bleeding cat lingering opposite Canberra MRT Station through our 24-hour emergency service. After her medical review with the SPCA Community Animal Clinic, she was diagnosed with grave injuries on both legs that included an open fracture, degloving injury, and an open wound that was causing tendon and muscle exposure.
Emergency amputation was done on her right hind leg due to necrosis, as her wounds were left unattended for too long. Bacter...

KITTEN STUCK UNDER VENT
#SPCASingapore was informed of a kitten hiding under a carpark vent at Queenstown. Mewing loudly, he was clearly in distress. After ~30mins, our Rescue Officer finally managed to get the tiny kitten out after luring him with some food. He was a little stressed out from the heat and anxiety, but otherwise healthy with no injuries! Chayen (named after the Thai milk tea!) has since found his #foreverhome.
Your vigilance plays a huge part in helping our injured, sick, distr...

HAPPY TALES: VICO
Wooflo! I am Vico and I am the cutest doggo ever, because that’s what hooman said the moment she saw me, “Sooo cute!” ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *
When I first met my furmily, I was a really shy boy. New sounds like fans and hairdryers scared me, but I knew my hooman would always have my back. Hooman turned her entire life around for me just because she wanted to spend all her time with me! Not only did she become my everything, I was hers too. As we grew together, she was a...

26th Mar 2022, by SPCA Singapore
ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT: ROCKY
It has been almost 3 years since I entered this place. I was brought here because I got annoyed at my hoomans and accidentally nipped them. I initially thought it was temporary and waited patiently for them to come back. But as days turned into months, I realized, they were never coming back for me. I wish I could say I am sorry, that I tried to tell them why I wasn’t happy… but I’ll never get the chance to now.
This place has since become my home. While these h...

WHETHER BIG OR SMALL,
DOG BITES CALLS FOR A VET VISIT
Appearing along Jln. Pesawat with a bloody chest, doggo gave everyone there a fright thinking a pipe had pierced its upper body. #SPCASingapore was alerted, and he was immediately sent to our Community Animal Clinic. Upon examinations, our vets concluded that the puncture wound was more likely caused by a dog bite.
Bite wounds are a cause of concern due to the high risk of infection. When the tooth punctures the skin, bacteria from the aggr...

Maggot Treatment In Armpit. Aiko Was Found At The ..
7th Mar 2022, by SPCA Singapore
MAGGOT TREATMENT IN ARMPIT
Aiko was found at The Sail at Marina Bay with an open wound in his right armpit. He was wearing a collar which unfortunately got stuck under his armpit, causing an open lesion due to prolonged friction. In an attempt to get the large wound to close by itself, Aiko’s wound was bandaged with sterile maggots (thank you Cuprina!) contained in a bag (baggot!), which #SPCASingapore Community Animal Clinic’s vets hoped would help granulation tissue formation.

CAT FLU AT 6 WEEKS OLD
