💡ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT💡
Name: Blackie
Gender: Male
Breed: X-Breed (HDB-approved)
Colour: Black
Age: 12 years 1 month old (as at September 2024)
🌟 “Hi, my name is Blackie and I'm so ready for your scratches!”
Blackie’s story is a bittersweet one. He came to the SPCA in July 2024 after his owner passed away, and sadly, there was no one left to care for him. But even with everything he's been through, Blackie remains the affectionate, loving dog he has always been. He is a little older now, but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying his walks and taking in the world around him with curiosity.
Blackie is always excited to meet new doggy pals, but he has had some tough experiences, so he needs slow, gentle introductions to make sure everyone gets along. He came to us with a hematoma on his left ear, likely from an untreated infection, and you'll also notice some scarring around his neck, a reminder of his past where he may have been on a choke chain.
Despite these visible signs of hardship, Blackie’s spirit is bright, and he’s just waiting for someone who can give him the love and care he’s been missing. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’ll love you with all his heart, please drop an email to [email protected] with 'Adopt Blackie' as the subject. Don't make him wait any longer!

💡FOSTER / ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT💡
Name: Moo Moo
Gender: Male
Breed: Local
Colour: White tabby
Age: 5 years 5 months old (as at September 2024)
Moo Moo's story began on the streets where life was anything but easy. Bullied by other community cats, this timid boy found refuge in the most unlikely places -- hiding in drains. A kind-hearted feeder noticed Moo Moo's plight and began caring for him, giving him compassion and care.
Moo Moo eventually found his way to the SPCA, where he has been residing for over six months due to initial ringworm and recurring bouts of cat flu. With his big tomcat cheeks, a feature that developed because he was not sterilised until reaching maturity, and his enchanting heterochromia, Moo Moo's past experiences have left him extremely timid. Cleaning his ears may elicit a growl, but when he feels secure, you might catch him drooling from satisfaction.
Patience is key with Moo Moo. When he feels safe with a guardian, he will slowly come forward for pats, showing glimpses of the affectionate cat he can become. It is a process that requires time, understanding, and a lot of love. He is in need of a calm and supportive environment.
His SPCA guardians are confident that with the right person who can provide him with the time, space, and gentle care he needs, Moo Moo can thrive and become a loving companion. If you are looking to foster or adopt a special cat who needs a little extra love, Moo Moo might just be the one for you. Please drop an email to [email protected] with ‘Foster/Adopt Moo Moo’ as the subject if you feel like you can be the patient and understanding family Moo Moo has been waiting for.
💡ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT💡
Name: Scooby
Gender: Male
Breed: Singapore Special (Not HDB-approved)
Colour: Brown
Age: 3 years 7 months old (as at August 2024)
🌟 “Hello! My name is Scooby. Will you be my Shaggy?”
Back in October 2023, an SPCA staff member got to know about an extremely emaciated dog through an acquaintance. After some convincing, the dog's previous owner decided to give him up to the SPCA. The case has also been reported to the authorities for possible neglect.
And now, meet Scooby! A playful doggo rescued by the SPCA when he was just skin and bones. Despite his initial wariness of strangers, Scooby's cheekiness still shone through, hinting at the joyful dog he could become. His case is still under investigation, but he has come a long way since then.
Now healthy and fit, Scooby is ready for a bright future with a loving new family. His curious nature means that he can be easily distracted in new environments, and no treat will bribe him out of his focus. But give him some time to sniff around, and you will see his puppy-like spirit emerge.
Scooby is a strong boy who loves to pull his SPCA guardians along during his walks. He has a mischievous streak too - nudging his playpen into a corner to grab attention or jumping on tables to sneak a bite of food (or many bites if you aren't paying attention 🫠). For those with an active lifestyle, Scooby promises endless adventures and unwavering loyalty.
If you feel like Scooby's energy matches yours, please drop an email to [email protected] with ‘Adopt Scooby’ as the subject.
Dads, and the pets they didn’t ask for | Happy Father’s Day to all the dads who fell in love with the pets they had no intention of adopting.
💡ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT💡
Name: Pixie
Gender: Female
Breed: Local
Colour: Tabby Grey
Age: 2 years 7 months old (as at May 2024)
🌟 “Meowlo! I’m Pixie and I’m as fast as the wind!” 💨
Meet Pixie, an active kitty rescued by the SPCA back in November 2021 after a traffic accident, when she was just two months old. The accident left Pixie with a pelvic fracture and nerve damage to her bladder, leading to challenges with her toilet habits. She sometimes even pees a little when she gets over excited 🤭
Pixie is sweet and loving, and she is as playful as any of her feline peers, perhaps even faster! Her curiosity and energy make her an excellent companion. When her guardians at the SPCA pass by her enclosure, she doesn't hesitate to reach out with a paw, tapping for attention and interaction.
Pixie’s special needs have made finding the right home challenging. But if you have room in your life for a little extra love and don’t mind a bit of mess now and then, please drop an email to [email protected] with ‘Adopt Pixie’ as the subject. Make Pixie’s next chapter her happiest yet!
Last week, we shared our concerns about the lack of stricter regulations on shock collars in Singapore. So many of you stood with us and agree that aversive training tools like shock collars have no place in training.
Here is a powerful reminder: If the toughest can’t take it, our animals shouldn’t have to either.

Ryoka came into the SPCA at just 2 months old in November 2023 -- her nails were overgrown and she had infected, crusty skin. Shortly after, she tested positive for mange (skin disease caused by parasitic mites), ringworm, and parvovirus which can be fatal in kittens. Through daily antifungal treatments, medicated baths, and a prescription diet to treat her parvo-related diarrhoea, she has transformed into an alert and playful kitty, with significant improvements in her health.
Now adopted, Ryoka's journey to recovery is a testament to the role of the SPCA's community animal clinic in helping animals receive accessible and timely veterinary care. There are so many more like Ryoka who need your help. Your donation can bring healing and hope to countless animals in their hour of need. Donate today and be a part of their success story.
