General
​Donation

The SPCA needs donations to support the shelter and care for the animals.  Scroll down for more options for how to make donations for specific purposes.

Sponsor an Adoption

Consider sponsoring one of our available pets.  Sponsorship increases the chances that they can find the best homes.  For now this link goes to the general donation page.  You can specify that it is for an adoption or call the shelter to discuss this program.

Shop or Walk

We have multiple options for apps that allow you to give when you shop or walk every day.  Scroll down to find links to all of the options we have.

Special Donations

Animal Rescue Fund
On occasion, an animal comes into the shelter with a condition, illness or injury that requires immediate medical care. The Chemung County SPCA Animal Rescue Fund (ARF) provides funding for major and minor medical care. Donations to ARF will help us help many more animals in the months and years to come. These Big Flats locations  also have collection cans for ARF donations so that community members have an easy and convenient way to support this program: Minier Brothers, Inc. and Shear Knowledge.

Thank you to these businesses for helping us care for the animals!

Tribute Gifts
Donations can be made in memory of or in honor of loved ones, pets or pets who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge.
