Care. Compassion. Respect.

Spring is a season of growth, and growth is an amazing thing. Tiny seeds can become towering trees, and little kittens and puppies can become grown cats and dogs.

Organizations like the Chenango SPCA can grow, too. What would it look like for us to grow?

A growing Chenango SPCA would be able to offer new services, like a trap-neuter-return program for stray and community cats, behavior training, or vaccine and microchip clinics for the community.

Growth would also mean helping more animals. The main way to do that is by decreasing how long each animal stays at our shelter. This makes it possible for us to help more animals with the same amount of space. In 2023, our length of stay dropped by eight days—nearly 12%!

Finally, growing would mean providing more complete care for all the animals we house. More adoptions and shorter stays mean fewer animals each day, even if we help more over the year. That would give us more one-on-one time with each animal.

What would it take to achieve this kind of growth? Everything that grows needs care. Plants and animals need food, water, and plenty of sunshine. Organizations like the Chenango SPCA need different resources, but the idea is the same:

We need the right facility and equipment to provide all the programs we want to offer.

We need a large enough team, working enough hours, to accomplish all our goals. We also need to make sure that they’re paid fairly, receive benefits, and enjoy a comfortable workplace.

Those resources would be hard for you to give us, but there’s an easier way: Supporters like you can help us get the resources we need by making a generous gift—today! Will you help us grow?
