Did you know that in a single year the Tompkins County SPCA is a temporary home for close to 3,000 animals? We take in animals surrendered by the public, or stray and abandoned animals found in the county. It is our primary mission to offer refuge, nourishment, medical care -- and to find a loving home for life for every healthy and treatable animal who comes to us.

The Tompkins County SPCA serves local people and their pet companions. We are not affiliated with any national organization or branch of government, so donation dollars provide benefits and services to animals and their guardians right here in Tompkins County, including:

Shelter, food, and veterinary care for homeless animals

Pet adoptions at the shelter 7 days a week and at off-site events

Free and low-cost spay/neuter for low-income families' dogs and cats

      Foster care for hundreds of sick and injured animals every year

Seniors for Seniors program to match older people with the perfect older animal companions

Lifesaving medical care including surgery

Behavior rehabilitation for dogs and cats with problems

24-hour emergency care for sick and injured animals
