JOSHUA, FRACTURED JAW

HAPPY TALES: SKY, I AM MEANT TO BE
Hi everypawdy, my name is Sky! My furmily would always tell me “You’re meant for us from the start”, as I was initially adopted when they first enquired about me, but was soon returned. They lovingly welcomed me home from #SPCASingapore. Diagnosed with Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), but my furmily never stopped caring. They would syringe-feed me, administer my injections (which came with lots of pats and treats!), and diligently brought me to my we...

SPCA RESCUES: CAT STUCK IN CAR ENGINE
Halted from their afternoon drive, a couple called #SPCASingapore in to help with the unusual rescue of a cat residing in their car’s engine! With the space limitation, it became an added disadvantage for our Animal Rescue Officer. The rescue took over two hours.
Although he looked a little rough (with drool all over) due to the hot weather + hot engine, he was generally healthy. After undergoing medical checks at SPCA’s Community Animal Clinic, and le...

"From #LiveTransport, limited (or lack of) movements, handling, storage, slaughter to display in food establishments, these animals go through a lot of stress. The least that could be done is to ensure these animals are not subjected to undue stress or discomfort during the above."
Thank you ACRES for the joint visit and for your efforts to protect animals.
