☔ Kitten Shower! ☔

It's raining kittens! To prepare for the influx of newborn kittens needing urgent care during the spring and summer months, we'll be hosting a kitten shower at our humane center on Saturday, May 10 from 1 to 4 p.m. We invite you to join us for a fun event and help us stock supplies crucial for fostering vulnerable infant kittens. A $20 donation or a gift from our wish list is suggested. You can find our registry in the link in our bio. 😻

Small Chunk is still looking for his home! This 75 pound pup is nothing but a big baby with an even bigger heart. 💙 Small Chunk loves spending time outside sunbathing and taking field trips with his favorite volunteers. He is also a big fan of treats and puzzle toys, and knows tricks like sit and down (major smarty pants 🧠).

Small Chunk has been looking for his pawfect home since June 2024. He's looking for a household where he can be spoiled rotten as the only pet in the home. We know Small Chunk is someone's dream dog! Call us at 804-521-1307 or stop by our humane center to learn more about this handsome boy. 🐾🩵

In honor of National Volunteer Week, we're showcasing a few of the Richmond SPCA volunteers making a big impact in our community through our Paws for Health program.

Our pet visitation program, Paws for Health️, has been brightening days across hospitals, retirement communities and care centers since 1999. After a necessary pause during the pandemic, the program returned in 2025 — revitalized, reimagined and ready to reach even more people in need of a friendly face and a wagging tail. Today, we're thrilled to be expanding our reach to schools, workplaces and other community spaces throughout Richmond, Virginia.

In our latest blog post, our assistant manager of volunteers Zoë Royall, explains more about this life changing program.

It all begins with a leash, a tail and a heart full of love. For the Richmond SPCA’s newly-graduated Paws....

Be sure to check out their special pet-themed cocktail menu while you're there! 🍹

We’re celebrating Earth Day and National Volunteer Week by giving a little love back to the planet and to the pets who call it home! 🌎🐾💙🌿

Thanks to the helping hands of our incredible volunteers as well as Dominion Energy and Keep Virginia Beautiful, we hosted a litter cleanup at our humane center today to help make our neighborhood look pawsitively perfect. Together, we’re making the outdoors safer and more beautiful for pets, people and the planet.
