Every life matters

On 29 December 2023, a hamster was abandoned in a cage at the SPCA where it was left alongside other donated items. Thankfully as we were clearing donated items, a staff member noticed a live hamster in the cage. Upon checking our CCTV footage, we were able to ascertain that a man had left the hamster in our premises. A report has been lodged with the authorities. Poncho, the hamster, is now up for adoption.

On 2 January 2024, a passer-by spotted a pair of terrapins in a plastic container left under a tree in front of the SPCA. The terrapins have since been surrendered to the authorities as the SPCA does not have appropriate housing facilities for them.

These are some of the more fortunate animals who were found in time by our staff. There are many more who don’t survive.

Abandonment is an offence under the Animals and Birds Act. Anyone found guilty can be imprisoned for up to 18 months, fined up to $15,000 or both.

Please choose kindness and responsibility.
