Dear Members & Friends,
Good greetings to all! It is true, and many will agree, when we say that having one pet or more at home will provide us mental health support. Pet owners who behave as parents will go all out to give their pet the best. One will be amazed at the many treats and accessories available now and they are spoilt for choice. This is testimonial when we receive lots of these brought in after a pet has passed away. Our shelter animals really enjoy them. They too can be spoilt for choice and we notice their likes and dislikes. For pets with skin allergies, it is best not to keep changing their food or treats unless advised by your veterinarian. Would you like to try making your own treats which might suit your dog with skin allergies? This dog treats recipe has been tried and we hope that it goes well for your pet too - click here for the recipe. If you have any recipes you'd like to share, do forward to info@spca-penang.net. Thank you.

| Animal Adoptions | |

We feel so happy to receive photos and news of how our adoptees are doing in their new loving homes - in March we had news & photos of Maisie & Pecan and you can find these on our social media. We'd love to get more from adopters so do please send updates & photos via our social media pages (facebook & instagram). We sincerely hope to see more caring pet people coming in to adopt and save the lives of many who are still waiting at shelters. In March, six cats and seven dogs found homes. Raisin, our longest stay resident at over three years, has finally found a new home leaving us with a heavy heart. Raisin was not keen to move out of our gate and had to be coaxed and gently carried out!!

Though we are still at the Covid 19 endemic stage, we thank students from Segi College, the POWIIS and the Boys Brigade for helping out with the cleaning activities and interacting with the cats and dogs at the shelter. Their presence was indeed commendable. The students from Segi College also helped collect funds towards the society.
On March 30, SPCA in collaboration with students from KDU COLLEGE held a virtual event with students and members of the public. Topics touched on were animal abuse and other matters relating to animal welfare. Due to time constraints, we were not able to answer all questions. The participants were invited to send in their queries direct via email. We thank the team at KDU for organizing the event for the benefit of all present.
We continue to receive the service from the teachers and students from POWIIS Balik Pulau every Friday. We also welcomed the visit by students and teachers of Straits International School on March 24. Straits International School has also started their fundraising campaign for SPCA.
