ASPCA in NYC

**The ASPCA^® is committed to prioritizing the health and safety of the community, the animals in our care, and our staff. Please note that we have adjusted our services as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis:

Adoption: Thank you for choosing adoption! We appreciate your patience and support throughout the adoption process and hope you find your match. Out of an abundance of caution related to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis across New York City, the ASPCA Adoption Center and Kitten Nursery are temporarily closed to the public. However, we are offering remote adoptions in the New York City area.

Found Kittens: If you found kittens outside and need assistance, please see more information on next steps at aspca.org/FoundKittens.

Veterinary Services: If your pet is experiencing a medical emergency, please call your nearest veterinary emergency hospital.**
