Our thoughts

I know this may sound like some futile attempt to raise animal awareness, but every life counts.
12000 abused or abandoned animals go to the SPCA shelter every year, of which only 10% are adopted, and 7% reunited with their owners.
What happens to the other 83% you ask? Well, do the math. 1000 animals per month, and a limited space for around 200 animals at a time. Answer? None other than being put to sleep. That's around 9960 animals per year.
This may be a staggering number, but still do not feel afraid of reporting cases of animal abuse or lost pets. In fact, if the abuser is not caught, there may/will be even more cases to come.
Even if you can't adopt a pet or sit in a corner waiting for an alleged abuser to come round a corner so you can film him beating up a cat as evidence, the SPCA is run by public donations, even a couple of dollars can help.
Every
Donation
or
Adoption
Counts.
Do everything you can to help.
This is no joke.
Help us help them.
