1.1 Mission & Goal
1. SPCA Animal Shelter & Adoption Centre
Members of the public are encouraged to adopt animals from the SPCA. The adoption fee includes de-worming, vaccination and compulsory neutering (sterilization). SPCA receives 7,000 animals per annum and re-homes 1,200 spayed/ neutered dogs and cats each year. All potential adopters are interviewed and advised, and should be agreeable to home visits by SPCA Selangor staff. The shelter is open to visitors every day, 9am to 4pm, including weekends and public holidays. Two drivers are on hand to attend to animal rescues and emergency pickups e.g. injured or drowning animals.
2. Inspectorate
SPCA Animal Inspectors investigate complaints relating to animal abuse or neglect every day, and work closely with the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) to monitor these cases and assist with confiscation of animals and prosecution. The identities of complainants are kept confidential, to encourage more people to come forward and report such cases.
3. Humane Education
Thousands of school children visit SPCA Selangor every year. SPCA Humane Education Program aims to create awareness, empower and motivate people to be agents of change to improve animal welfare in their communities. Visiting students are given a presentation, education packs and a tour of the shelter. They also can help to clean the animal enclosures and cages and feed, walk, bathe and socialize the animals. SPCA Selangor also actively goes out for outreach work in schools, pet events and shopping centres.
4. Klinik Kembiri
KK is a highly-successful high-volume, low-cost spay/ neuter clinic set up by SPCA in collaboration with DBKL. As of Sept 2008 - 10,500 cats and dogs had been neutered, preventing the births of an estimated 20 million animals since its inception in 2003.
5. Government Lobbying
SPCA meets regularly with the DVS (Department of Veterinary Service) to lobby for effective animal welfare legislation, building more Klinik Kembiris and humane stray animal control and management of Municipal Pounds. SPCA Selangor also actively lobbied and succeeded in keeping the trade-ban on macaques firmly in place, when the government announced plans to export the animals for consumption and bio-medical research overseas. Currently, SPCA is also lobbying for a ban on cat and dog meat consumption in Malaysia.
6. Mission HELP: Helping People Help Animals
With this outreach arm, SPCA organisation is working to improve the lives of animals beyond their reach through dedicated animal rescuers - individuals and groups - to promote better welfare for homeless animals. SPCA Selangor provides highly or fully subsidised food, vaccination and spay/neuter costs for Good Samaritans who are caring for stray animals in their communities. Focus areas include Jalan Kuching, Subang Jaya Industrial Park, Ampang Wet Market, Air Panas Market, Seremban and Petaling Jaya.
