A post shared by SPCA Singapore (@spcasingapore)

SPCA is close to my heart because it’s where I adopted my own kitty (you can see her in my guide to pet birthday cakes in Singapore!).

Usually, as was my own experience too, SPCA’s shelter animals are only available for viewing by appointment. But every once in a while, they open their doors to the public for walk-ins.

This month, that day is 9 Nov 2024, Saturday, from 11 am to 3 pm. Head on down to SPCA between these hours to meet the friendly cattos, doggos and more up for adoption!

Alternatively, you can also get a sneak peek of the furry friends over at SPCA’s Adoption Gallery.

SPCA Adoption Drive

• Date: Saturday, 9 Nov 2024
• Time: 11 am – 3 pm

4. Sunday Jam Session at The Jazz Loft (Every Sunday)

It feels almost like it should be a secret, but this is too good not to share. Every Sunday evening, tucked away in Bali Lane, you can get a taste of live jazz jams at The Jazz Loft @ Blu Jaz Café at no cover charge.

Called the Sunday Jam Sessions, each session opens with pianist Rachma Lim and her trio. Then, homegrown and international jazz stars take the stage—some familiar faces already well established in the jazz world, and some up and coming jazz musicians paving the way for a new wave of jazz. You never really know exactly who you’ll get to hear (to our knowledge, they don’t publish this anywhere), but perhaps the mystery is part of the appeal. Just like jazz improv, every iteration is unique.

Sunday Jam Session at The Jazz Loft

• Date and time: Sundays, 7.30 – 11 pm (Doors open at 7 pm)
• Venue: The Jazz Loft @ Blu Jaz, 11 Bali Lane, Level 3, Singapore 189848

Free community events in Singapore

1. Growth Circles (12, 16, 30 Nov)

Everyone wants a safe space where you can just be you, and be supported. Not everyone has such spaces in their lives—but everyone deserves them.

That’s why Growth Collective SG has organised Growth Circles, 2-hour sessions for individuals to connect meaningfully and feel empowered by each other. It’s about showing support, being present, and ultimately building a world where no one feels alone.

Here’s how a month’s worth of Growth Circle sessions looks like:

These are the Growth Circles sessions this month:

2. Make friends with Friendzone (18, 21, 28 Nov)

One of my closest friends used to use the dating app Tinder—not to date, but to make friends. She would chat with people on the app—filtering out any creeps, of course—and actually made some meaningful friendships from her efforts.

These days, there’s an easier, non-virtual way to make friends. Friendzone hosts community-building gatherings for young adults to connect with each other and develop friendships. They believe ​​that Singapore is, and I quote, “full of diversity and interesting people that just haven’t met yet”. If you don’t agree, maybe you should give one of their sessions a try.

This month, there are 3 Friendzone sessions planned:

Session	Date and time	Venue and address
Friendzone: Mind The Gap – A Conversation with Youths & Mid-Career Adults	18 Nov 2024, 730 – 930 pm	NTUC Centre, 1 Marina Boulevard Room 801 (Level 8) Singapore, 018989
Friendzone Hougang & Bedok Reservoir: Let’s Talk About Adulting	21 Nov 2024, 730 am – 930 pm	Punggol Community Club, 3 Hougang Avenue 6 Singapore, 538808
Friendzone Chua Chu Kang & Keat Hong: Glow Up In Progress	28 Nov 2024, 730 – 930 pm	Keat Hong Community Club, 2 Choa Chu Kang Loop, #01-01 Singapore, 689687

Remember to respect that these are friend-making events, not dating ones.

3. Crochet Interest Group (27 Nov)

Myth: Crochet is only for old grannys.

If you’re a crochet hobbyist, the 361 Crochet Interest Group is your chance to meet like-minded folks. There’s no guidance from a dedicated teacher, but you’ll meet fellow crocheters you can explore the craft with. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or if you’ve been doing this for decades, all skill levels are welcome!

361 Crochet Interest Group

• Date and time: 27 Nov 2024, 10 am – 12 pm

5. Zalora’s Snap and Drop Programme

A post shared by ZALORA Singapore (@zalora)

Zalora is extending its Snap and Drop Programme, a programme that lets you donate your unwanted clothing to reduce the amount of apparel that ends up in landfills. On top of that, you’ll receive a $10 cashback voucher from Zalora for each clothing drop you make. How does it work? It’s pretty simple:

Pack your clothes, shoes, bags and more—basically any fabric item.

Snap a photo of your bag of unwanted fabric items in front of the collection box at any of these drop-off locations.

Drop your items into the collection box. You’ll also want to note down the collection box number (SG0XXX) on the front of the box.

Fill in this form to get your cashback! You can only redeem this once a month, and the cashback expires in 1 month.

For this initiative, Zalora is partnering with Life Line Clothing, a Malaysia-based zero waste textile collector. They’ll sort the donated items and resell the apparel in good condition while refurbishing, upcycling, recycling, or even reprocessing the poorer condition items into fuels.

Uncle Chris is a self-described “everyday Singapore uncle” who’s seen a lot of Singapore over the years, and now loves showing it to others. Join Uncle Chris on his free walking tours to be entertained and even educated on the hidden heritage, culture and history behind various areas in Singapore. Uncle Chris spills all he knows, and isn’t afraid to touch on the darker parts of history; for this reason, do look out for tours that are adult only.
