Dear Members & Friends
Year 2020 had been a very rough year for everyone with many uncertainties. We, at SPCA, gratefully thank all our faithful members, friends and donors for their kind support and generous donations received.
We wish everyone a very Happy New Year 2021 and hope the New Year will shed good lights and bring cheers for a new beginning.
Shelter life for our animals is certainly boring when there are restrictions imposed as all visitors need to comply with the SOPs laid down. We hope to be able to receive again support of the many students from the various colleges and universities once our limited movement control order is completely lifted.
The number of people for our volunteer briefing, conducted each month is limited and as such we urge people who signed up to make it a point to turn up on the day chosen so as not to disappoint others.

| Adoption Rate | |
|---|---|
|
Our adoption rate each month has remained stable for the last few months. In December, we managed to rehome a total of 14 dogs and cats. The number of cats who found new homes has increased recently. This could be that many owners prefer to have cats, especially when they are residing in apartments.
