The SPCA Organisation
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is one of a number of animal welfare organisations whose operations include protecting and providing shelter to animals in danger. It is a worldwide organisation. The SPCAs are organisations that campaign for animal welfare and take in abused or abandoned animals, and help them to get adopted.

The SPCA receives over 1,000 unwanted and abandoned animals every month. Less than 10 per cent of them are able to be put up for adoption due to there being too few homes available. If you are considering giving up your pet or a stray to the SPCA, please try every other avenue first to find the animal a home, only giving it to the SPCA as a last resort.

The SPCA requires over $1.4 million annually to operate. This comes primarily by way of donations from members of public and from fund-raising activities.


The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is the first registered animal welfare charity in Singapore. The two main objectives of the SPCA are:
