SPCA: What to do in times of need

If your furry friend get lost, you can phone the SPCA or send photos of the missing dog or cat to the emergency number.

The Festive Season is traditionally a very busy time for the SPCA, and the local SPCA branch is no exception. Apart from the many lost and traumatised animals found over December and early January, the friendly personnel still have to attend to their normal duties. Therefore, please be patient when calling for help, as they do try to help as quick as possible, despite limited resources.

Office hours will be as usual, but when there is a furry friend in need after hours or on the public holidays, please phone the Parys SPCA’s emergency number 072 894 4061.

If your furry friend get lost, you can phone the SPCA or send photos of the missing dog or cat to the emergency number. SPCA personnel will then let you know should they found them.

If you come across a lost animal in the streets over the Festive holiday, you may also phone the emergency number, and bring the animal to the SPCA’s premises after arranging for personnel to meet you there.
Let us keep our furry friends safe this December holiday.
