Appeal For Information. On 18 January 2024, A Memb..

🚨APPEAL FOR INFORMATION🚨

On 18 January 2024, a member of the public discovered a chinchilla outside his doorstep at level 4 of Blk 666B Jurong West Street. He took the chinchilla in and simultaneously put up posters to find the chinchilla’s owner. Unfortunately, no one has stepped forward to claim the chinchilla.

The chinchilla was brought into the SPCA’s care on 21 January 2024. The chinchilla was not microchipped.

On 22 January 2024, an enclosure which appears to have housed a chinchilla, was found discarded near the bins at the void deck. This has led the SPCA to believe that this may be a case of animal abandonment.

The SPCA is seeking more information about this matter. If you have any information, saw anything unusual around these dates, or know someone who might, we urge you to come forward and share it with us. Please call our 24/7 hotline at 6287 5355 (ext. 9) or email depinspector@spca.org.sg. Information provided will be treated with the strictest confidence.

Under the Animals and Birds Act, individuals found guilty of cruelty to animals (including abandonment) can face a jail term of up to 18 months and/or a maximum fine of $15,000.
