In November Tito, Rufus and Toffee left the shelter for their forever homes. If you note the pattern for adoption, most of them are very young puppies and kittens. What will happen to the adult ones as they grow older and older? We encourage a lot of elderly visitors who come looking to consider adopting our adult furry friends who have been at the shelter for a long time. This is not always accepted as many would like to see their new adoptee grow with them. One does not need much time in training an adult dog as its behavior will be introduced by our kennel staff and/or volunteers on site. We allow potential and genuine adopters to spend much time with their choice or even have the animal taken home for a trial period before making their decision. We look forward to seeing many of our adult dogs adopted. Would you like to come, visit and give them a second chance? You can view all the dogs currently available here, and cats here.

At the invitation of TARUMT, SPCA attended the Guest Participation – TAR UMT–ACCA Business Game Grand Finale 2025 theme "Connecting Hearts, Empowering Voices". The participating students in Penang chose their own NGOs to work with.

We are glad to note that one group who named themselves "Chill Bar Sdn Bhd" collaborated with SPCA Penang and was successfully chosen for the Grand Finale held on 14^th November. Their project presented earned them 3^rd place as the first was taken by Saigon Business School from Vietnam and the 2^nd was by TARUMT Perak. Congratulations to all for their hard work and efforts put in to create awareness on the NGOs they collaborated with.

During the month, we had many students from INTI, USM, DALAT AND TARUMT coming in to perform their community service. A visit was made by management staff from OPPSTAR with a presentation of a great variety of cat canned food for our cats.

A group of Inti students visited to help out:

Another group from Inti College - unfortunately we had heavy rain so they were only able to help out with the cats:

This is the season for giving! Come share your treats with any of your favorite pets that you can choose from our website. Do let us have your name so that we can send you a tax-exempt receipt.

Our next volunteer briefing be held on Saturday 20^th December. Time 9.30 a.m sharp and please be punctual.

We thank the many who have called in to check on our requirements at the shelter. Many have also asked if they could bring in things which are left by their pets that passed away. We welcome any as long as they are useable and can be recycled.

It was fun trying out our dogs on a treadmill given to us. This is one good way to walk them especially when it’s a rainy day and volunteers are unable to interact with the animals at the compound. Here are Cass (dark brown) & Alfie (light brown):
