Thank you very much, Ipoh SPCA!

Recently, Ipoh SPCA organised a highly successful and meaningful adoption drive. Here is an excerpt of a news report sent to us by one of our readers:

ISPCA vice-pres­i­dent Ricky Soong said the so­ci­ety’s aim of hold­ing the adop­tion pro­gramme and flea mar­ket wawas to find good homes for its strays and spread aware­ness re­gard­ing an­i­mal wel­fare.

“If the pub­lic finds it wrong for chil­dren to aban­don par­ents who are sick and old, the same ap­plies for an­i­mals.

“They should also spay or neuter their pets as to not con­trib­ute fur­ther to the prob­lem of stray an­i­mals roam­ing our streets.

“To aid in this cause, the ISPCA has a trap, neuter and re­lease (TNR) pro­gramme, while also pro­vid­ing an RM50 sub­sidy for ev­ery stray an­i­mal spayed or neutered by mem­bers of the pub­lic,” he said.

Apologies as the reader did not send us the link to this story so we cannot produce it in full in case it is copyrighted.

In the report, a nun from Sungai Siput who looks after about 35 stray dogs, brought 9 dogs for adoption at the drive and these dogs managed to find good homes. In total, the adoption drive saw 130 dogs and cats being given up for adoption.  Now, this is indeed an impressive number.

The Ipoh SPCA also gave out my books during the drive and collected donations for us. We wish to thank Ipoh SPCA, Ms Jackie Fang, Mr Keith Yoong and all donors, very, very much for this.

Thank you, Joy E. Saga, for taking my books down to Ipoh!

We hope that with our brochures distributed, more Ipoh folks, if need be, will apply for our neutering and medical subsidy, to help more animals in their area.

Congratulations, Ipoh SPCA, and thank you very much!

The Ipoh SPCA is a no-kill shelter for dogs and cats.
