Help Us

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the SPCA!
We truly appreciate your organisation’s willingness to contribute time and support to our cause.

Our Volunteer Programme is currently undergoing a revamp as we work to enhance the experience and opportunities for all our volunteers. We kindly ask for your patience during this period.

SPCA’s Foster Care programme is for very young or sick animals to receive dedicated care in a home environment!

By helping to foster animals until space becomes available in our shelter and/or the animals are older and better able to cope with kennel life, you are helping us save more lives.

Requirements: 18 years and above. If you are between 18 and 21 years old, a parent/guardian’s consent is required.

About fostering

The act of fostering requires a readiness to dedicate your time to giving love and care to an animal in need. We require our fosterers to be with the animal for the most part of the day and preferably to have had experience in looking after young or sick animals.

We also require our fosterers to be prepared to collect the foster animal from our shelter and bring it back for any check-ups by the vet during the foster period. We will provide some food, a litter tray (for cats), and a carrier for the start of the fostering period. However, we ask that any subsequent food be supplied by the fosterer so we can better allocate our limited resources.

We will provide medication for the animal (if needed) during the fostering period. The fosterer must also remain contactable so that we can get regular updates on the animal’s health and well-being.

Our animals are usually cared for in a foster home for a period of one month to three months, depending on the animal’s needs and circumstances in the shelter.
Fostering an animal is not easy, and it may involve considerable cleaning up as the animals are usually young and may not be toilet-trained. They may also be very playful and may chew on your possessions.

The toughest part of being a fosterer is having to return the animal to our shelter for adoption after you have become emotionally attached to it over the fostering period.
