At Finger Lakes SPCA of CNY, we see small miracles every day: a dog who finally settles into a warm bed, a cat who purrs through her first full meal, a family who finds their new best friend. On Giving Tuesday, those moments multiply—because your gift is matched dollar-for-dollar up to $2,500, doubling food, shelter, and lifesaving medical care for local pets.

 

We’re your community animal shelter in Auburn, NY, serving the Finger Lakes region and Central New York with rescue, veterinary support, and humane education. When you donate to SPCA in Auburn, NY today, you power hands-on care and the programs neighbors rely on when animals need help fast.
