We protect animals from cruelty, provide compassionate care, and connect them with safe, loving homes while strengthening the bond between animals and our community.Founded in 1891, the CNY SPCA was established to be a voice for animals suffering from cruelty and neglect.For more than a century, we have served Central New York by protecting vulnerable animals, investigating abuse, and providing shelter and care to those in need.While the needs of animals and our community have evolved, our purpose has remained constant: to stand between animals and harm, and to ensure they receive the care, protection, and compassion they deserve.Today, we continue this work through rescue, rehabilitation, adoption, and community education—building a safer, more humane future for animals and the people who care for them.How you can help power our mission:Donate: Every dollar counts.
