Uganda Society for Protection & Care of Animals (USPCA)

USPCA was established in 1997 to respond to the immediate needs of abandoned, stray and sick animals whilst simultaneously tackling the root causes of the large population of strays and high incidence of cruelty in Uganda. Its vision is to create a society which is well-informed about the basic needs and care of animals and strives to meet them responsibly. To this end, USPCA participates in outreach clinics to local communities providing Rabies vaccination, deworming and treatment against ticks and fleas, and spay/neuter surgeries for dogs and cats free of charge, and where pet owners can receive advice on the care and feeding of their pets. USPCA also conducts humane education in schools with the aim of developing increased awareness of animal welfare issues. USPCA runs a shelter in Kampala where rescued dogs and cats are treated for injury or disease, vaccinated and de-parasitised, sterilised, and cared for before being put up for adoption into new permanent homes.
