SINGAPORE: This weekend, 77 cats, 25 dogs, four rabbits, three hamsters and one chinchilla underwent health checks as part of a programme that lets low-income households receive veterinary care for their pets.
Vets and nurses from the SPCA, as well as volunteers, administered veterinary services like physical examinations, vaccinations and microchipping. For pets that need further check-ups, subsidised appointments will be arranged at SPCA’s Community Animal Clinic, said the organisation. It added that future venues will be selected based on the number of rental flats, residents with pets on financial assistance within proximity and cases received to the organisation’s 24-hour hotline.
“Access to veterinary care and freedom from pain, injury, or disease are fundamental rights that every animal deserves.”
