| Our emergency rescue service operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Last year, we responded to 2,895 calls, and helping 2,454 animals.
In rescue operations, our staff are often faced with risky situations in the course of saving an animal’s life.
Much of our work in this area often goes unnoticed. |

June 2008
SPCA was called to the scene recently to help an ear-tipped (sterilised) cat stranded up a tree at Blk 401 Ang Mo Kio Ave 10 - Our Animal Handling Officer Desmond went to the scene - his efforts resulted in the cat coming down the tree and back to safety in its familiar territory.

| These are just a few of the many Huskies that the SPCA has received in recent months - some are found on the street and others are given up by owners.

May 2008
The three kittens, Prince, Rex and Duchess were reported found in a cage in the bushes at a Choa Chu Kang Christian cemetary. When SPCA's Inspector went to investigate following a member of the public's feedback in April, he found the three kittens very well looked after. |
|
| The cage was placed in the bushes for shelter. After leaving a note on the cage for the "owner" to call SPCA, there was no response. Our Inspector brought the kittens back to the SPCA the following day, where they were vaccinated, quarantined for 10 days and put up for adoption. Two of them have since found loving homes. |
April 2008
This ear-tipped cat had stayed on the tree for a day because it couldn't get down. As it was pouring heavily the next day, we were called in to help. With a long stick to gently shoo the cat, it finally made its way down and ran away to a sheltered area.

26 December 2007
Just a day after Christmas, the SPCA received a call from EMAS that a boar had met with an accident on the TPE Expressway near Ponggol.
| |
| After rushing to the scene, the boar was found to be suffering in the extreme and was immediately transported back to the SPCA so that our veterinarian could examine the injuries.
The poor animal had a fracture on one of the hind legs and was hyperventilating. As this can lead to hypothermia and death in pigs, the animal was euthanased to end its suffering. |
20 July 2007
A kind soul called us and reported that a cat was seated dangerously at the edge of a parapet on the 7th floor in Tampines. We managed to get the cat down on the spot and reunited her with her owner the very next day. |
