Meet Sir Malcom! Malcom arrived at the shelter feeling very worried about new people, so he went to a foster home with the hope of warming up more easily. Well, it seems to have worked! This is what his foster family had to say about him: Sir Malcolm is an affectionate, gentle, shy, and handsome cat. It took a week in foster care for his personality to start to show, but now he is purring and making biscuits, chasing after toys, and has become quite a talkative cat. He will make some lucky person a fine companion. He is easy to put in a carrier and uses his litter box well. There is another cat in the foster home, but Malcom doesn`t seem interested in making friends. He should probably have his own room for a while when he gets to his new home. He still hasn`t felt safe enough to explore the rest of the house; preferring to have visits in his room. If you would like to meet Malcom and learn more about him, please contact us so we can put you in touch with the foster parent. Email us at adoptions@spcaonline.com, call (607)257-1822 x221, or stop in during open visiting hours to give us your contact info! (Tuesday-Sunday 12-4:30, Thursday 12-6:30)

As part of the process of selecting an SPCA pet, you will be asked to complete an adoption application. After the application is approved, we ask you to sign an adoption agreement promising to humanely care for your animal. All cats and dogs are altered prior to adoption.
ANIMAL HEALTH AND VACCINATIONS:
All dogs which enter the SPCA receive vaccines for
* canine distemper (Adenovirus Type 2)
* parainfluenza & Parvovirus (DPP)
* leptospira bacterium
* Bordetella brochiseptica (kennel cough) intranasal.
All cats which enter the SPCA receive vaccines for
* Feline Rhinotracheitis (Feline Herpesvirus - I)
* Calicivirus
* Feline Distemper (Panleukopenia)
If pets are old enough, they also are given a rabies vaccination (Required by NY State law). The SPCA has regular veterinary care available for all animals and makes every effort to ensure that the animals are healthy before being made available for adoption. Cats are screened for Feline Leukemia. Dogs and cats all receive general worming medication.
DOG LICENSING:
All canines over six months of age are required, by New York State law, to be licensed before they can leave the shelter. Licensing is administered by the individual towns but can be completed at the SPCA at the time of adoption. The charges for licensing are not refundable if the dog is returned to the SPCA.
AFTER-ADOPTION SUPPORT:
We hope that your new pet will be an enjoyable addition to your household. If you have any questions about pet care, please feel free to ask the shelter staff or your veterinarian. We also have many free pamphlets on caring for your pet available at the SPCA and can provide the names of local resources for training or behavior concerns.
