Local adoption and welfare organizations in Hong Kong.

• SPCA Hong Kong www.spca.org.hk/eng/home.asp www.spca.org.hk/eng/home.asp SPCA, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals ,was first formed by a group of volunteers in 1903 but was not active until 1921. Although we are the first Charity in Hong Kong to deal with all aspects of animal welfare, we obtain very little support from the Government. The Society therefore, has to struggle constantly to continue its work.

• Companion Animal Federation www.hkcaf.org/Main2008/CAF_Home/CAFENG/e_home.html www.hkcaf.org/Main2008/CAF_Home/CAFENG/e_home.html CAF believes that the continuity of its charity work is not on a single person alone. It depends on dedicated founding members, staff and volunteers and supportive donors. Above all, our success will be both our ability to live up to our missions and together with your support.

• Lamma Animal Welfare Centre www.lammaanimals.org/ www.lammaanimals.org/ Lamma is a beautiful place for us humans to live - and, for some of the other animals, life is good also. But some animals live pretty awful lives which not only makes them miserable but forces them to become a trouble to the community. Several species sometimes come to our attention but the vast majority of our work is with dogs and cats. They do not have the ability to survive satisfactorily on their own in our modern world. Each one of them needs to be found a good home. We run several programmes to achieve this - all based on our Welfare Centre.
