Cats for Adoption in Hagaman, New York

Regional SPCA

We are a volunteer-run, no kill shelter running out of a leased 574 sq ft, 8 kennel facility. We average 150 dogs a year through our doors, about 2/3 of those do not get redeemed to their owners and are placed for adoption. Many of our dogs that come in are in rough shape - some have never seen a vet before, have been used for fighting, breeding, are terribly thin and covered in fleas, etc. Our volunteers pride in caring for these dogs that have been left behind so that they can get into the home that they have always deserved. Before going home, all of our dogs are fixed (unless medically unable to do so - it has happened with seniors and cancer patients), microchipped, vaccinated for rabies, DHLPP, lyme (after testing) and bordatella, and are on heartworm preventative (after testing, of course). Someday we hope to have our own building, with safe, ample space for dogs, cats, and other companion/equine/reptilian friends.Our volunteer force in 40 strong. We're open 7 days a week, 365 days a year (yes, including all holidays, hurricanes, blizzards, acts of dog....) with no paid staff to cover when someone "doesn't want to come in". We run on 3 shifts a day, 2 of which are open to the public and one where someone is there to let the kids out to potty before bedtime. They've been known to pop in at all hours, be it for an 11:30 "lunch break" with Pilot (our longest resident of 3.5 years) or at 2am when a nasty thunderstorm is rolling through and the kids are terrified. One of our volunteers has also started an educational outreach program to teach elementary school students about proper pet care, and runs an internship program for the youngest volunteers in our shelter. We're in the process of working out consistent transport for animals in our community to go to a local(ish) low-cost spay/neuter clinic - it's tricky with large dogs and personal vehicles, so we will see where the ideas take us.

Meet Midnight

Midnight is a sweet little boy looking for a new family to love him. He is in foster with other cats and dogs.

Adoption Process
We require all interested families to come in to the shelter and meet the dog or dogs that they are interested in (unless they meet a dog at an adoption event). We have a very thorough application which they can fill out and return to the shelter - we do not provide applications on line. We check vet, personal, and landlord references (we require a signed letter from the landlord and confirmation via phone call that pets are allowed). When an application is approved, we set up a meet and greet if there are other animals in the household. If not, the kids are ready to go home. We encourage all potential adopters to spend as much time with the dog(s) as possible before they head home, and an adoption contract is signed before the dog(s) go(es) home.
