SPCA of Westchester

Really wonderful organization. They are thorough in their application process and truly care for the animals they house. Very impressed with their operation!

The staff here is wonderful! I adopted twice from this shelter and I highly recommend adopting from them. I was blown away by the amount of support I received from the trainers here. They remained in constant contact with me after the adoption to offer guidance, tips, trainer recommendations and even to just check up on her. They go above and beyond to ensure that each animal is placed with the right family and that both animal and humans are happy as can be with the adoption. There is no doubt that they truly and deeply care for the well being of each and every animal in their shelter.

Please know that there is a line on Saturdays to adopt. We recently arrived 10 minutes before opening time to find both parking lots full (main lot and annex down road), and a sign-​up sheet with a list of people who had gotten there much earlier. (We were #47.) Ended up adopting elsewhere. Shelter seems clean and organized. If your timing is right, maybe you’ll get lucky!

Both my parents had died, and eight of my beloved cats, that I cared for as if they were my children, had died in the past five years. I just wanted a break from the sickness, and nursing, the worrying and the death. The cat I adopted was a joy, but extremely unhappy being an only cat and especially an inside cat. My lease prevents me from having more than one animal.
Throughout my entire 55+ plus years, I have never met a cat that was so miserable being an inside cat. I tried everything known to humankind, but to no avail.
All I can say was the little sweetie I got from SPCA brought me joy, and she grew to love me too. She is a real character! Cats have as varying and distinct personalities as humans, and we should all keep that in mind. When I finally got a cell phone I took videos of her, and she is so happy after a walk in the park or around the grounds, so much better than the ²⁴⁄₇ yowling /​screaming that preceded that. Bless her little mighty mouth. She only weighed about 6 lbs, but her voice was the caliber of Maria Callas!

If you’re thinking about adopting a pet, please consider doing it at the SPCA! The staff is so helpful, from adoption to check ups. It’s obvious they really care about the animals. Plus, their facebook page is hilarious. :) I adopted a great cat here a year ago and can’t wait to go back for another one day! The adoption fee is extremely reasonable considering everything you’re getting in addition to the animal.

I went to the SPCA and got my pet kitten Ellie. The staff was very helpful and made sure I picked the right kitten. She is a wonderful cat and is very well trained. We’ve had her for a year and I would recommend anyone looking for a pet to go to the SPCA!

Got my pal Sully the cat here a couple of years ago, what a pleasant experience. Sully (then known as Tang) was recovering from some leg surgery they’d performed on him at the time– apparently fella had gone through some trauma before he arrived at the SPCA– and I adopted him, well cared for and with all of his shots– for $ 75. I was told he’d have to come in for a follow up procedure on his hip after a few weeks– which was done free of charge. I think this speaks volumes about the dedication of the folks working here, and I’d hope that anyone looking for a pet would begin their search here.

We adopted our beatiful polydactyl calico kitten from this shelter a few weeks ago. the experience was very positive. The staff and volunteers are so caring and they really treat the animals well. They adopt out feral kittens from local populations and spay/​neuter parents before returning to the wild and rehabilitate abused animals. In addition they have deals with local vets for a free first exam and offer reduced price checkups at their in-​house clinic.
