CSPCA has influx of animals; encourages adoptions
CHENANGO COUNTY – After recently becoming the only animal shelter rescue for cats in Chenango County, Chenango SPCA has an influx in animals, says Shelter Assistant Danelle Nolan, and they are calling on the public to consider adoption.
"It's crazy right now," said Nolan. "We did a bunch of adoptions on Friday, and we still have 183 animals. A lot of them are kittens coming in with moms, we have several moms that are pregnant and have a litter of kittens with them––it's just crazy."
Of those 183 animals, Nolan says 164 are cats. For the month of August, the CSPCA allowed anyone to adopt a cat or kitten for any monetary amount of the adopter's choosing. Nolan says there will be an adoption special for the month of September, too.
Nolan went on to offer a tip to those who find a stray dog or cat and would like to help.
"We take in all cats in county, whether they're feral, sick, or injured––we take them," said Nolan. "We ask for a donation, but obviously we won't turn anyone away if they can't afford to make one."
Nolan says that in the case of stray dogs however, CSPCA can't take them in from the public––the public must instead contact their respective dog warden, who will then likely coordinate something with CSPCA. This because Nolan says dogs are legally considered property, and cats are not.
CSPCA is open Tuesdays from noon to 7 p.m., Wednesdays and Fridays from noon to 4:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
If you are interested in adopting or would like to learn more, applications and more information are available at www.chenangospca.org or at CSPCA, located at 6160 County Road 32 in Norwich.
