SPCA Value of Adoption

Adopting a pet from your SPCA for Monterey County is an amazing value for a lifetime of love.
- The SPCA provides a wide amount of services to all animals in our care. All dog, cat, puppy, and kitten adoptions include the pet’s spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip identification, health evaluation, behavior evaluation, a carrier (for cats and kittens), and lots more.
- Your SPCA rescues and adopts all animals in need, including cats, kittens, puppies, dogs, horses, rabbits, small pets, parrots, reptiles, birds, hamsters, exotic pets, barn animals, and more.
- Many pets who arrive ill or injured receive lifesaving veterinary treatment thanks to our Paws to Recycle program (Helping shelter pets and the environment!).
- SPCA adoptions are a value of $400 to $800 dollars, not even including the lifetime of love!
- Skilled and compassionate SPCA staff and volunteers help guide adopters to the pet that fits their lifestyle.
- The SPCA provides a free behavior helpline, discounted classes for adoptees and lots of tips to help you keep your pet in your home for life.
- Adults 60 years of age and older can adopt pets three years of age or older for $50 off the regular adoption fee!
- We never put time limits on the pets in our care.
