Meet our newest litter of literary legends! Named after the works of Edgar Allen Poe, these tiny “terrors” are getting ready to make their debut later this spooky season! Keep your eyes peeled for them on our website in the coming weeks.

Will one of these mysteries find a happy ending with you? We hope so!

We’re excited to share that SCPA is now on Benevolist, a new way to support our animals through supply drives and wish lists!

If you’re looking for a way to support SCPA through Benevolist, you can purchase much-needed food items (such as Fancy Feast Kitten Pate) directly from our list, along with other supplies our animals need.

Find our Benevolist lists through the link below and help us keep our shelves stocked for the animals counting on us. Thank you for being part of their second chance!

Meet Azalea! This tuxedo beauty has a sleek black-and-white coat, an adorable beauty mark, and a personality just as lovely as her name.

Friendly, laid-back, and social, Azalea would love a home with feline friends to keep her company and help her get those zoomies out! She’s also enjoyed attention from kiddos of various ages, making her a sweet addition to the right family.

Ready to let this little flower blossom in your home? Fill out an adoption application to make Azalea part of your family! We'll be in touch with next steps, and hope that you can come by our center anytime between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday to meet her.

Meet Anastasia, the Comeback Princess!

Anastasia was found outdoors very sick by a delivery driver, but with lots of love, care, and determination, this beautiful girl has made an incredible comeback. Just look at her now!

She’s big, beautiful, floofy, and full of personality. Anastasia is playful, curious, clever, chatty, and VERY purry. She loves zooming around her foster home, stalking her toys, and playing with the finest things in life: boxes, crinkly packing paper, and toilet paper tubes. Naturally.

Anastasia is FeLV+ and has some special health needs, but that’s just one part of her story—and certainly not what defines her. We’ll be sharing more about FeLV and cat's needs with it in a separate post, but in the meantime, we hope you’ll get to know this resilient, wonderful girl for who she really is.

She’s already fought hard to get here. Now she’s looking for a forever family to help write her happily-ever-after. Anastasia is in foster, so please complete your adoption application today to set up your meet-and-greet!
