Just yesterday (19 Aug), SPCA went to the rescue of a cat stuck in a tree, in Serangoon Central.
Our rescuer, Daniel, used a catchpole to lift the cat from the branches that it was wedged between, and brought it safely to the ground.
Although the cat appeared flustered, it was unharmed. The ginger ear-tipped cat, being a community cat, was then released.
We thank our informer, Mr Terry, who alerted us to the distressed animal. Members of the public can, likewise, help animals which are inj...

Just last Friday (14 Aug), SPCA went to the rescue of a community kitten heard mewing in distress, within a car’s engine compartment, at Joo Chiat Place.
Our rescuer, Daniel, played aloud an audio clip of a mother cat calling her kittens, using his mobile phone, to lure the kitten towards him. The kitten then fidgeted and came into view. At an opportune time shortly after, Daniel scruffed it, with his hand, and lifted it out of the compartment.
The black/white kitten, found to be alright ...

So, on this SG50 occasion, let’s salute some of our island-nation's very own! Is your canine companion a Singapura Special, or mixed-breed? Come forth and share a photo, or two, here of him/her/them!
