".......Because we care!"

The Society That Really Cares.......

SPCA formerly known as RSPCA was founded in 1948. It is a non profit, community based organization whose primary roles are those of protecting and caring for animals. Despite our heavy overhead costs and low public financial support and with no State aid we have been functioning against all odds.

The society has since progressed by leaps and bounds. Today, it continues to be held together and maintained by a small group of devoted members who take an interest in furthering the welfare of animals. Our scope of work has increased with the years. Thanks to the efforts of those early pioneers and their supporters, the Society started on the right path and today, those of us who care for welfare of animals owe much to the hard work and determination of those early animal lovers.

SPCA's Role Today

Today, the Society is known as the Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Penang and is under the distinguished patronage of His Excellency of Governor of Penang. It is solely dependent on public support and the objects of the Society are to prevent cruelty to animals and to promote kindness by fostering an intelligent public interest regarding Man's duty to animals.

The Society's work is not purely destructive.

SPCA has many animals for adoption. We hope to find a love and warming home for them. Instead of buying a pet from the shop, you can consider adopting one of these adorable animals from our shelter.

LOST DOGS

If you should lose your pet, there are some immediate steps you should take :

• Call the City Council

          Jabatan Pelesenan (Tel: 2638818)

          The SPCA (Tel: 2816559)

• Visit the SPCA. By visiting the shelter, you will be able to identify your pet, whereas descriptions given over the telephone can often differ from the actual description of the animal in the kennels.

• Check with any vets in our area, as your pet could have been taken to the Vet if it was involved in an accident.

REMEMBER if your pet is wearing its Dog Registration Disc and its identification Disc, you could avoid all these problems.

Perhaps you remember a special pet that you loved, the companionship, friendship, devotion and fun. Why not say a last 'thank you' in a practical and humane way, by leaving a donation or a legacy to the SPCA in your will? Your solicitor will know what to do.

DONATIONS of any amount are gratefully accepted and exempted from Income Tax!
