The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Fiji says it has been overwhelmed with the support it got from people through its Food Drive at Cost U Less and the Legend FM Fiji Repo Expo at the Vodafone Arena Carpark.

People turned out in numbers to donate food and basic cleaning supplies for shelter animals as things have been tough due to COVID-19.

The shelter has about 120 animals at the moment and SPCA Fiji roughly spends about $1,000 a fortnight to care for the animals.

Today is the final day of the Legend FM Fiji Repo Expo at the Vodafone Arena Carpark.

Fiji's first-ever tradeshow for used and repossessed cars and white goods will open from 10am to 2pm today

These are the list of things which is used daily in the SPCA Fiji shelter and clinic;

- Bleach (Janola) - Rice - Tin Fish (possible in oil or can also use tomato sauce ) - Liquid dishwashing detergent - Soap Powder - Dog Biscuits (Pedigree or chum) - Whiskas - Split peas - Liquid milk - Mop (head and handle) - Scrubbing Brush - Mop Bucket - Paper towel - Newspaper - Liquid handwash - Garbage Bag - Dishwashing paste
