CARING FOR NEWBORN PUPPIES AND KITTENS
The SPCA often receives motherless newborn or very young (under four weeks old) community puppies and kittens.
The number is greater for kittens as cats breed up to four times a year, whereas dogs give birth to two litters a year.
We help these animals by giving them the best chance of survival, which also means finding them a temporary home under a fosterer.
Learn more about caring for newborn puppies and kittens at this link http://spca.org.sg/pet...

“MATA'S KUCHING”
On a cool October morning, a traffic police officer visited SPCA with a delivery of four kittens. These four kittens were found in a broken-down vehicle on a highway earlier in the day and they were all covered in soot.
At first sight, all four kittens had a very unusual greyish-orange coat. The rainy weather and the adventures of the morning made the kittens very hungry and they had two helpings of food before settling down for a nap. As it was a cold day, they were ba...

As cats are curious animals, with an acute sense of smell, they have the tendency to investigate and, as a result, may get themselves into dangerous situations.
For the safety of your cat, please ensure that windows in your house have cat-proof screens that stay firmly in ...

ZEPHY GETS A NEW LEASE OF LIFE
In early August, SPCA was informed by a concerned member of the public that a cat had been injured in a fall at Marsiling Road.
Our rescue officer soon brought the injured kitty back to SPCA. As she was wearing a brown collar with a gold bell, we tried our best to trace her owner by advertising in the press, and on our lost and found website. Unfortunately, no one came forward.
SPCA's consultant veterinarian, Dr Tanja, has since carried out surgery on Zephy’...
