Website Terms of Use – Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Israel (Registration No. 580000156)
General
Welcome to the website of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Israel (SPCA Israel)! SPCA Israel is a registered non-profit organization (NPO), managed by a volunteer committee. The organization was founded in 1927 and is the oldest in Israel in the field of animal welfare and rights. Its main goal is to prevent cruelty and suffering to animals. Among other activities, the society rescues and shelters abandoned animals, rehabilitates them, and finds them adoptive homes. It operates a veterinary clinic offering, among other services, spaying and neutering for dogs and cats, runs an educational department that provides humane education activities for groups of all ages and sectors, and works to promote the enforcement of animal cruelty laws, as well as prevent neglect and abuse.
This website, run by SPCA Israel, is aimed at promoting these objectives and is intended to provide information about the organization’s activities, both on the internet and to allow for online donations to SPCA Israel.
