Objectives

Our main objective is to promote respect for animals and create awareness by having a caring attitude towards pet animals. It includes

a) encourage responsible pet ownership

b) prevent cruelty to and suffering of animals

c) prevent unwanted stray animals on the streets

The work of SPCA involves:

a) Collect sick and injured strays by making daily rounds covering all markets in the state of Penang or upon request.

b) Provide ambulance service for sick, injured animals which are rescued either for humane destruction or for pet owners who wish to convey to veterinarians for treatment.

c) Maintain a pound with 30 kennels and a large cattery as a temporary shelter for unwanted animals and adoptable strays (vaccinated and neutered).

d) Follow up on adoptee i.e. spot checks on animals adopted.

e) Provide veterinary services twice a week for treatment of animals in the kennels as well as out-patient treatment to the public.

f) Respond to public complaints of cruelty to animals and educate the public through schools, individuals and organizations.

The intake of animals far exceeds the numbers that were adopted and the limited resources to cover the daily expenditure of the society continue to be a challenge. However, we have been able to carry out our work over the years due to the public's donations, limited and constant help of dedicated members and volunteers who come together to keep the society going.
