Please do not email emergency cases to the SPCA. To ensure urgent attention, please call 6287 5355
The SPCA continues to receive reports of rabbits and cats being kept in cages in the common areas of HDB and apartment blocks are on the rise. There are animals out there suffering silently, day after day. Pictured on this page are some of the animals whose cases were investigated by the SPCA’s Inspector.
In such cases, the SPCA will give the owners advice about how to care for their pets, so that conditions for the animals can be improved. If owners are not willing to make the necessary changes and the animal continues to suffer, the SPCA will then refer the case to the Animal Welfare Regulations Branch of the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA).

If you own a pet, make sure you are not an unwitting party to animal abuse. Ensure that your pet is properly cared for and seek professional help when it falls sick.

If you observe an act of animal abuse, whether deliberate or unintentional, don’t just walk away. Call the SPCA and we will send our Inspector to investigate.

Help the SPCA help the animals. Express your disapproval. Animal abuse is not just socially unacceptable – it reflects a lack of respect for life itself.
Cruelty to animals is a crime
In Singapore, cruelty to animals is a crime. Under the Animals and Birds Act, anyone who is found guilty of such an offence including abandonment of any animal, can be imprisoned for up to 12 months, fined up to $10,000, or both.
