What to do when you find a injured cat?
If the cat looks sick or injured, call your city hotline or animal shelter and create a found report. If the cat is seriously injured, your local animal control may come get it, but if you are able to take a sick or injured cat to the vet yourself, that’s even better. Be sure to create the found report regardless.
How does the SPCA deal with stray and sick animals?
By that, we mean to ensure that these animals are vaccinated to prevent them from getting sick, have their pets sterilised to prevent unwanted litters or have their pets medically treated when they fall sick or get injured. The SPCA Almoning System is there to help us to help these owners.
Do cats know when you are injured?
Compared to our devoted dogs, cats seem pretty unconcerned with human affairs. But it looks like our feline companions pay more attention than we give them credit for. They seem to be able to tell when we are happy. New research has found the first strong evidence that cats are sensitive to human emotional gestures.

What should I do if I find a lost cat?
Cats roam over a wide area, so ask around to see if anyone knows who the cat belongs to. If you can safely transport the cat to a vet, you could have the cat scanned for a microchip. If this isn’t possible but you can get close enough to put a collar on the lost cat, then download our paper cat collars (PDF 36.5KB).

What kind of pets go to the SPCA?

How to report a lost dog or cat?
(This is NOT an SPCA phone number, so please do not call with any SPCA questions.) The SPCA keeps on file lost and found dog and cat reports. These reports cannot be filled out by phone; pet owners with missing pets must visit the shelter in person to fill out a report. Please bring a photograph of your pet to place with the report.
Can you adopt a stray animal from the SPCA?
Stray animals are unavailable for adoption during their stray holding period at the SPCA*. Because they are not owned by us, the SPCA is unable to provide information on stray animals to callers, so please do not call the shelter inquiring about adoption availability of strays.
