The National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA) was founded in 1955 as the Federation of SPCAs to provide a forum to bring uniformity to welfare legislation and standards. All the SPCAs in South Africa are governed by the SPCA Act 169 of 1993 which is administered by the NSCA, thus constituting us as a statutory body.

Inspectors are authorised in terms of the Animals Protection Act 71 of 1962 and the Performing Animals Protection Act No. 24 of 1935, with the NSPCA and the SPCAs undertaking over 90% of all animal welfare investigations and prosecutions.

OPERATIONAL UNITS

The NSPCA deals with national issues and has six nationally operational units, namely:

1. Animals for Exhibition, Entertainment and Sport
2. Farm Animals
3. Global Campaigns
4. Wildlife
5. Research Ethics
6. Society Liaison

The NSPCA also operates in areas where there is no existing SPCA, or where support is required or has been specifically requested, or in response to disasters, namely, emergencies, floods or fires.
