Kittens, kittens, everywhere! These are just 3 out of the 61 kittens we have in our care today! That's a lot of hungry little mouths, and we need your help to keep them fed.

We need chicken- or turkey-based canned kitten food: https://www.chewy.com/fancy-feast-kitten-tender-chicken/dp/176639 You can mail it to 1640 Hanshaw Rd. Ithaca NY or drop it off at either of our buildings at any time. If you stop by after-hours, there's a big brown donation bin in front of each building.

We also need kitten adopters! We have 18 kittens in our lobby in who are ready to be adopted, including these three cuties. See them all here: https://www.spcaonline.com/cats

Stuart's keeping an eye out for a new home! This bright orange chatterbox is currently a lobby resident, and eagerly greeting our visitors. If you appreciate a gregarious guy like him, come see him during open hours Wed-Sun noon-4:30, with extended hours until 6:30 on Thursdays.

If you can't adopt, but would like to contribute to the medical care of cats like him, visit: https://www.spcaonline.com/gifts

Looking for a walking partner? Cupid might be the one! One of our volunteers recently took him for a hike at the Cornell Arboretum, and he enjoyed meandering and sniffing new spots.

If you like one-of-a-kind dogs, come meet Tahoe! There's been lots of speculation about what combo of breeds went into this shaggy, wiggly, 9-month-old teenage puppy, but the end result is darn cute!

The Adoption Center is open noon-4:30 today and tomorrow, and you can see all our dogs searching for a home: https://www.spcaonline.com/dogs

Our shelter dogs need some new heavy-duty chews! For many of our large dogs, these extra-hard chews are the only toys we can safely leave in their rooms overnight and know that they won't be eaten. But even the sturdiest toys eventually wear out, and we need to restock the toybox. Can you buy a couple for our pups?

It's hard to be an older gentleman living in the shelter, so we are very grateful for a kind foster family who took Kane home so he can get a break in a real house! He looks very cozy and content with a real bed instead of the dog beds at the shelter.

If you are interested in learning more about this fellow, email [email protected] and we can put you in touch with his foster.

If you can't adopt right now, but could temporarily care for a dog, learn more about the foster program: https://www.spcaonline.com/foster-family

Handsome Espresso is hoping he can get adopted straight from his foster home, and not have to come back to the shelter. His foster family describe him as silly, playful, and loving. He loves belly rubs, chew bones, and playing fetch.
