SPCA of North Florida

We are a small completely volunteer non-profit 501c3 organization run exclusively on private donations and no governmental assistance. Our primary goal is to find lifelong, forever homes for special needs unwanted cats and dogs. We also emphasize owner education and reducing the number of unwanted pets through spaying and neutering. We usually focus on cat and kitten rescue but will also have the occasional dogs, puppy, or even rabbit in our program who needs help.

We specialize in special needs pets who don't have much of a chance at finding the perfect home or any home at our local shelters. Whether their special needs are physical, medical, or emotional or behavioral, we feel that these animals are just in need of the right home and the right human who will understand them. If you are interested in helping with our special needs animals, please contact us. Many of the cats, kittens, puppies, and dogs need time, love, understanding, as well as daily medications and treatments while they heal. Adopting a special needs pet is a true rescue.

We are always looking for good temporary foster parents. During the holidays, Spring Break, summer vacation and other times of the year we lose a lot of foster families to other obligations and commitments so we are always in need of new foster families. Kittens will need a few weeks for socialization and time to grow. All they need is a safe room, such as a bed room, to play in and wait their turn at the PetsMart adoption site. All supplies are provided while you are fostering a kitten. We also need temporary foster homes for cats. Many also just require 1 room and some human interaction. Our puppies and dogs require a little more commitment and time, but if you can't commit for the next 12-16 years then maybe fostering is right for you. We would love to establish a larger dog program but need experienced and dedicated volunteers to help.
