Let’s keep our animals safe in 2025

In 2024, over 130 animals, predominantly cats, fell from heights, and sadly, many of their owners never stepped forward to claim them. These are only the cases reported to the SPCA and there are likely to be many more.

In November alone, we attended to 13 cases of cats falling from height. Six of these cats succumbed to their injuries before they could receive medical help.

Each fall brings heartbreak. When owners do come forward, they are left distraught, grieving, and filled with regret as they witness what could have been prevented. Many do not even come forward to claim their pets. Our rescue officers and even kind-hearted strangers put their own safety at risk trying to save a fallen cat from the edge of a ledge.

The truth is, this did not have to happen. A simple, inexpensive precaution, like meshing gates and windows, can save their lives and give us peace of mind.

At the SPCA, we allocate significant resources to assist animals affected by High-Rise Syndrome (HRS). However, these funds, generously donated by the public, could have been directed towards preventing and alleviating suffering in situations that are less avoidable.

A small step, like meshing your gates and windows, can make all the difference.
Let’s do better for our pets in 2025.

HAPPY TAILS: PEPPER
(Previously ‘Hachi’)

Meet Pepper, the doggo who proves good things come to those who wait! As one of the last puppies in his litter to find a home, Pepper spent extra time in the shelter until space in the adoption kennels opened up. But once he was ready, his adorable little face stole hearts in an instant.
Now, nearly eight months after being adopted, Pepper’s new family cannot imagine life without him.

“Bringing Pepper into our little flat turned it into a true home. Happiness now lies in the little things: feeling the warm patch of tile where he napped, hearing the soft tap of his paws as he sneaks out his toys, singing a made-up song when we return home to him, or watching him have zoomies while enjoying his favorite treats — the moments are endless.

Adopting a pet isn’t just about giving one animal a home; it makes space for another animal to find a forever family. Every adoption is doubly meaningful, and we hope more people will have the chance to experience what we have with Pepper.

I loved my life, but now I love our little life.”

- Pepper’s Mum & Dad

Pets in outdoor dining areas: A step forward (with responsibility!)

From 1 Jan 2025, F&B establishments will no longer require a special "pet café" license for pets in outdoor refreshment areas if no pet food is served. Here’s a quick guide for when you are deciding to bring your pet to outdoor dining areas, or when you encounter a furry dining companion during a meal.

🕵️‍♀️ INSPECTOR STORIES

29 November: Rabbits Found at Zhenghua Nature Park
On 29th November, the SPCA was alerted to two rabbits spotted at Zhenghua Nature Park. Our Animal Rescue Officer, along with volunteers from Bunny Wonderland, immediately responded to the scene to secure the animals. The team managed to secure one rabbit after an hour. Our Inspector later joined the effort, and with the use of a scoop net and teamwork, the second rabbit was successfully rescued.

The rabbits were handed over to Bunny Wonderland for recovery and care, and have been affectionately named Zayne and Zenni.

3 December: Rabbits Abandoned Under an HDB Block
Just four days later, the SPCA received a report of rabbits abandoned in a cage at the washing area under Block 470, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10. The rabbits were visibly frightened and suffering from severe skin issues. The caller kindly moved the cage to a sheltered area while awaiting our help.

An SPCA Animal Rescue Officer was dispatched to the scene and transported the rabbits to our clinic for immediate veterinary treatment. The rabbits were diagnosed with scabies, a highly contagious disease. Tragically, one of the rabbits went into cardiac arrest during examination and could not be saved. The second rabbit passed away on 10 December.

Both incidents have been reported to the authorities and are currently under investigation.

Rabbits are extremely vulnerable animals and their chances of survival in the wild are very slim.

If you suspect an animal has been abandoned, please try to secure the animal if it is safe to do so or keep watch until help arrives. Document the situation with photos or videos, and report immediately to the SPCA, AVS, or police for prompt intervention.

We thank all the vet nurses in Singapore for their wonderful service.

💡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.
