Established in 1938, the purpose of the Santa Cruz SPCA is to ensure the best possible quality of life for animals and to promote respect and reverence for all. We do not receive any federal, state, or local government funding. We depend on monetary donations from kind-hearted people like you. Donate Here.
"Working with the Santa Cruz SPCA during Hurricane Katrina to save over 130 animals was the most rewarding experience of my life."
~ Doris Day
‘The Santa Cruz SPCA has proven to be an exemplary organization. Working with only limited resources, they have managed to improve the lives of animals on a scale that far exceeds their size.“
~ Ben Stein
"There is no finer model of an SPCA demonstrating such compassionate and smart strategies for a community's needy animals. Over the years, against all odds, the Santa Cruz SPCA gets the job done."
The Santa Cruz SPCA needs donations now more than ever. With the economic slow down, the SPCA fire, and the recent Santa Cruz County wildfires, we are struggling. Help us continue our work with the animals and community, please donate now.
