The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (HK) is one of Asia’s leading animal welfare organisations with seven income generating private clinics, a welfare spay-neuter clinic and two mobile vehicles.

SPCA veterinary surgeons enjoy an excellent work-life balance; generous annual leave, a 5-day week, a 6pm finish, and very limited work on Sundays and Public Holidays (emergency cover and welfare only).

Giving our veterinary surgeons chance to not only help owned pets but also to improve the quality of life for those less fortunate animals.
