About the ASPCA's NYC Program
The ASPCA is dedicated to making New York a no-kill city, and a safer, healthier environment for the companion animals who already have homes. We bring free/low-cost spay/neuter services to all five boroughs via our mobile clinic, and our Humane Law Enforcement agents are on the beat daily to investigate complaints of animal cruelty.
Whether you visit our 424 East 92nd Street headquarters to adopt an animal, bring your pet to see a vet at our Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital, or volunteer with us, we hope you'll be a part of our community.

- Preparing Your Home for Your New Pet
- Housekeeping is a casual affair for some--a little hair here or a stain there is of no major importance. Others are more fastidious. While adopting a shelter animal can turn your house into a home, your new furry friend could also turn it into a mess. With a little forethought and the following tips, you can have it all-happy, healthy pets and a clean, stylish home!
- The Right Pet for You
- We're thrilled-you're going to be joining the happy ranks of pet parents worldwide! The hardest decision you face may not be what to name your furry bundle of joy, or what color food bowl to buy, but simply what species your pet will be.
- Top 10 Tips for Adopting the Perfect Family Pet
- Congratulations, there's going to be a new addition to the household! Adopting a dog or cat for the family is a big decision, and the ASPCA wants to help you act with your head-as well as your heart. Thinking before you bring home that little (or not so little) bundle of joy can save the animal from being returned to the shelter, and can help ensure a long and satisfying life with your pet.
