The new home of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in Sungei Tengah promises to be a tranquil place where animal welfare comes first.

There will be an extensive water feature that will be used as a water reservoir, as well as to filter and re-use rain water to wash the kennels.

With a site of about 7,700 square metres, SPCA will be able to run facilities that it could not at its current site in Mount Vernon Road.

The site at Mount Vernon Road, of which the lease expires in December 2014, has an area of about 2,200 square metres.

There will be more space for dogs, cats and rabbits to exercise, as well as two rehabilitation rooms.

Another new feature is an Education Centre to spread the word on animal welfare issues and inspire visitors to do more to help animals.

The new home will cost about $5.6 million to build.

SPCA will step up its efforts over the next two years to raise money for the move, including a gala dinner in September this year.
