We're in the midst of preparing Uganda SPCA's 2025 annual report, which will be available on the USPCA and Animal-Kind International websites once complete. But here's a preview of the numbers:
In 2025:
For a total of 98 adoptions.
Sadly, the number of animals rescued/new arrivals to the USPCA shelter far outnumbered adoptions:
For a total of 604 new intakes to the USPCA shelters in 2025.
84 shelter pets died at the shelter, most due to the extent of their injuries or illnesses upon arrival (e.g., puppies rescued who had already contracted parvo).
At the end of 2025, the USPCA had 149 adult dogs, 43 puppies under 1 year, 46 adult cats, 10 kittens under 1 year, and 6 neonatal kittens for a total of 254 cats and dogs at the two USPCA shelters.
The USPCA employed 10 staff members during 2025. Salaries were 100% covered by donations to Animal-Kind International.
Thirty-eight international volunteers visited the USPCA and spent time helping the staff care for the shelter pets. Local vet volunteers provided vet care, including spay/neuter of shelter pets. And with AKI funding, they were able to keep up with the high number of intakes, making sure that all cats and dogs who were old enough and healthy enough were sterilized.
The USPCA also helped the local community. 570 dogs and cats benefited from the USPCA's community program by getting their rabies jabs and deworming, and 50 of them were spayed or neutered.
This GlobalGiving fundraiser is specifically for the new shelter and during 2025, about 70 dogs were living there. We now await the Town Council permit so construction can begin again and more dogs and cats can be transferred over to the new site.
Thank you so much for your support of the USPCA, the only LEGITIMATE animal shelter in Uganda!
