sponsor a pet
Learn how you can make a tremendous difference in the life of a dog or cat at the Finger Lakes SPCA of CNY shelter by sponsoring a kennel/cage or individual animal.
Sponsor a Cat
Want to help our Shelter cats by sponsoring their care while they are awaiting new homes? It's easy. You can sign up to sponsor a specific kitty kondo or a specific cat while they are staying with us and awaiting adoption.
Here's what we do for each cat in our Shelter:
- We test him or her for FIV/Leukemia/Heartworm! Yes - we are now able to test for heartworm in cats! If negative, we immediately begin our vaccination protocol. If positive, we seek veterinary input into the cat's condition.
- We begin a de-worming regimen and treat him/her for fleas (usually Revolution - also very expensive).
- We bring the cat up-to-date on all vaccinations - rabies, distemper and feline kennel cough.
- The cat is spayed or neutered and finally, before it goes to its new home it is microchipped.
- In between arriving at the Shelter and going home, we feed, clean up after, provide veterinary care (if necessary), etc.
Adoption donations cover only a fraction of our costs. Sponsors greatly help us in the support of our efforts to place healthy animals into our community. If interested in sponsoring a specific cat or a kitty kondo, please call the Shelter for information and thank you for caring!
Sponsor a Dog
Want to help our Shelter dogs by sponsoring their care while they are awaiting new homes? It's easy. You can sign up to sponsor a specific kennel or a specific dog while they are staying with us and awaiting adoption.
Here's what we do for each dog in our Shelter:
- We heartworm test him or her! If negative, we immediately place the dog on heartworm preventive. If positive, we will seek heartworm treatment. It's very expensive and we try to find the most advantageous price.
- We also place the dog on a de-worming regimen and treat him/her for fleas (usually Revolution - also very expensive).
- We bring the dog up-to-date on all vaccinations - rabies, distemper and kennel cough.
- The dog is spayed or neutered and finally, before it goes to its new home it is microchipped.
- In between arriving at the Shelter and going home, we feed, clean up after, provide veterinary care (if necessary), etc.
