Meet Tilly! This young girl is absolutely certain she did not sign up for peasant barn life. She is seeking what we like to call a `bougie` barn arrangement. Think less “rustic survivalist” and more “private countryside estate.” She would like a heated barn, insulated outbuilding, polished garage, stylish shed, or a peaceful basement suite where she can enjoy the aesthetic of rural living without participating in its more labor-intensive traditions.
At just one year old, Tilly has youthful curiosity, but she pairs it with a firm commitment to comfort. She’s independent and prefers minimal hands-on interaction, yet she very much appreciates reliable meal service, a secure environment, and climate control. She’s not asking for chandeliers. Just warmth, safety, and consistency. Is she a dedicated mouser? Let’s say she supports the arts. She may observe. She may supervise. She may critique technique from a cozy perch. But her true talent lies in existing beautifully and minding her own business.
Tilly would thrive in a calm property where she can settle in at her own pace, build quiet confidence, and enjoy her semi-feral, semi-fabulous lifestyle. In return, you’ll gain a charming, low-drama tenant who adds just the right touch of mystery to your outbuilding. If you have a warm space and an appreciation for independent young ladies with refined standards, Tilly is ready to move into her countryside era. Please reach out to behavior@spcaonline.com if you have a cozy place for this girl to land.

As part of the process of selecting an SPCA pet, you will be asked to complete an adoption application. After the application is approved, we ask you to sign an adoption agreement promising to humanely care for your animal. All cats and dogs are altered prior to adoption.
ANIMAL HEALTH AND VACCINATIONS:
All dogs which enter the SPCA receive vaccines for
* canine distemper (Adenovirus Type 2)
* parainfluenza & Parvovirus (DPP)
* leptospira bacterium
* Bordetella brochiseptica (kennel cough) intranasal.
All cats which enter the SPCA receive vaccines for
* Feline Rhinotracheitis (Feline Herpesvirus - I)
* Calicivirus
* Feline Distemper (Panleukopenia)
If pets are old enough, they also are given a rabies vaccination (Required by NY State law). The SPCA has regular veterinary care available for all animals and makes every effort to ensure that the animals are healthy before being made available for adoption. Cats are screened for Feline Leukemia. Dogs and cats all receive general worming medication.

All canines over six months of age are required, by New York State law, to be licensed before they can leave the shelter. Licensing is administered by the individual towns but can be completed at the SPCA at the time of adoption. The charges for licensing are not refundable if the dog is returned to the SPCA.

We hope that your new pet will be an enjoyable addition to your household. If you have any questions about pet care, please feel free to ask the shelter staff or your veterinarian. We also have many free pamphlets on caring for your pet available at the SPCA and can provide the names of local resources for training or behavior concerns.
