Founded in 1905, the SPCA in Cattaraugus County is a private, nonprofit animal welfare organization dedicated to saving lives and strengthening the human–animal bond. For more than a century, we have served as a trusted resource for homeless, neglected, and at-risk animals throughout our community. As the largest animal shelter in New York’s Southern Tier, we operate on an 11-acre campus that has been home to our organization since 1984—providing the space, care, and compassion needed to give animals a second chance. Every animal that comes through our doors receives care, dignity, and the opportunity for a better life. From rescue to adoption, our focus is simple: help animals heal, find loving homes, and become part of families where they can thrive.
