The New Animal Shelter is coming!

Ground was broken on October 18th on the Neena Rao Family Animal Care & Adoption Center. From the beginning, the project was envisioned to update the current facility (Montgomery County SPCA) which is 65+ years old.

The expansion will accommodate program expansion in the following areas:

• Humane Education • Low-cost spaying and neutering services

• Sheltering • Community volunteer opportunities

2021 was a record year for adoptions at MCSPCA - proving the need for this new facility

Says Mike Buckley, Executive Director of the Montgomery County SPCA, “As of today, we are on target to move into our new building on or about June 1st. The roof is on and the windows are being installed this week. Once that occurs, the real work inside begins with placement of kennels, framing, etc. We are incredibly excited about not only this building, but also the increase in programs we will be able to do inside of this building.”

Dr. Govind Rao and his wife, Jyothi Rao have made a $500,000 commitment in support of the Dream of a Bright Future Campaign. The gift was made in memory of the Raos’ daughter, Neena.

“We are grateful to the Rao family for their commitment to our organization as well their tireless philanthropic support of our greater community,” Jan Zumbolo, president of the Board of Directors of the Montgomery County SPCA, said in a news release. The MC-SPCA is grateful for all of the ongoing community support and looks forward to all the good that the new building will bring.

Female

This poor girl was abandoned on the streets and her teeth have suffered due to poor nutrition. She will get the care she needs and hopefully a great forever home.

Male

6 months old with an Old Man Face but don’t let this old man face fool you... he’s still very much a kitten that loves to be petted and play the day away! He is a little shy but will warm up quickly.

Eddie Sunday

Female

This absolute sweetheart, 6 month old kitten is soooo ready for her forever home! Will you be her forever please?

Pepe Le Pew

Male

Pepe has made great strides with his foster mom. Once a hissing, scared kitten and now loves to be pet and rubs up against her. Seems bonded to his sibling Ninja. Will need continued patience.

Female

This pretty girl is looking for a patient home with owners willing to give her a little time to warm up to her. Wet food is the way to her heart.

Female

Found on a Sunday morning, skinny and needing help, hence her name. She has warmed up and likes to sit on her foster mom’s lap. Being the only kitty is best.

We are a local rescue dedicated to helping local kittens find homes. Our adoption fee covers the spay/neuter, rabies vaccine, fvrcp vaccine, flea treatment, dewormer, nail trim and ear

Thanks to generous donations and support from our community we have been able to assist over 3,200 kitties since we started. We have also been able to expand our community outreach programs to help more owned animals with surgery and supplies.

If you like kitties but don’t think you want a long term commitment we are always looking for foster homes. Snow birds welcome!

This is a great way for people who love kittens to spend time with them while they wait for their forever homes.

Female

A little shy but warms up quickly. Would love a home with another younger cat or kitten. She really is a sweet girl.

Blacke Stripes Mickey

Male

Very playful, loves toys and other cats. Very much a kitten at heart. Would love a home with a younger cat or kitten to play with. Does not love being held but loves to be petted

Female

Stripes is a beauty. Just look at her stripes. She is friendly and looking for her forever home.

Male

Mickey is a beautiful, soft and gentle little tiger. He has such a unique coat and these glowing eyes that will capture your attention. Once you have his heart he loves pets and scratches.

MARVIN and CAYENNE

They must be adopted together.

Marvin came in as a stray and is 8 years old. He loves people and tolerates dogs. He has an upper respiratory issue. This is a chronic condition that does not require further treatment at this time. He doesn’t like other kitties, except for Cayenne.

Cayenne came in as an older feral kitten.

It was love at first sight for these two. She is beautiful but does not want human attention. She tolerates dogs but will not allow handling by people. This may change over time.

These two boys are 10 year old brothers

These guys came to us with some dental issues which were quickly tended to and now between the two of them they have a grand total of about 8 teeth. They would really like a place to spend the second half of their lives together if possible. They are very sweet and do well with other animals and children. They are neutered, vaccinated, and FIV/FeLv negative.
