To protect, shelter and promote the adoption of homeless animals; to provide education about responsible pet ownership and to reduce pet overpopulation through spay/neuter programs.
The guiding mission statement of the SPCA remains as relevant now as it was when it was written in 1967: To protect, shelter and promote the adoption of homeless animals; to provide education about responsible pet ownership and to reduce pet overpopulation through spay/neuter programs.

Boogie is looking for someone who will love him just the way he is. Although he may never regain use of his back legs, he has adapted amazingly ❤️ And despite his circumstances, Boogie is a snuggly, purry, playful little kitten! His true gift may be that he brings a smile to every person who gets the pleasure of meeting him.
We transferred Boogie and his brother Spin from a small rural shelter because Boogie needed some specialized care. Unlike Spin, Boogie has a full-blown case of Cerebellar Hypoplasia (or CH), leaving him without any control or use of his back legs (or his booty, hence the little diaper).
Boogie is in need of a loving home. If you’re interested in meeting or learning more about Boogie, click the link in our bio ❤️

If you have a business, warehouse, barn, or storage facility that you want to keep free of rodents, SPCA working cats are up to the job! 😸
Adopting a working cat is a win-win — you can provide a living space for cats that would rather not be a family pet, and in exchange for daily food, water, and shelter, they will gladly help protect your property from rodents or pests.
Working cats can be feral or friendly, but for one reason or another are better suited to indoor/outdoor life than living in a home. All of our working cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated — plus their adoption fee is waived.
To inquire about adopting a working cat for your property or business, visit spcawake.org/workingcats 😸

Athena has been practicing her head tilts and handshakes in the hopes of finding a family in time for Thanksgiving ❤️ She’s never had a stable home before - she’s just bounced around from place to place for her entire life (through no fault of her own). But we’re hoping with your help, we can change that!
Athena is just a big puppy at only a year old, and she’s still got plenty of playful, goofy energy! She’s eager to please and treat-motivated, and she’s got a leg up on the puppies since she already knows a few commands.
Please help this sweet girl find a home for the holidays by sharing this post, or get adoption info through the link in our bio 🥰

Thank you to everyone who came out and braved the cold this morning for our $5 Microchip Clinic! All of our hearts are warmed knowing that nearly 150 pets now have permanent, reliable paths back home in the event they were ever to get lost or find themselves at a shelter.
And to you reading — please know that your support made this clinic possible for all of these families! Thanks to you, our Community Initiatives team is empowered to reach out to our community directly to assess and meet the needs of pets and pet owners in the Triangle and around NC, finding any ways we can to help pets and people and keeping families together. We are so grateful for you ❤

At first glance, the shelter thought this tiny little 5 oz kitten was just 2 weeks old. But a closer exam showed he was actually weeks older than he appeared, and his extremely small size was likely due to having a lack of food & nutrition all his life. We named this little guy Niko, and he’s less than half the size of his two littermates. On top of that, he has a cleft palate resulting in a missing nostril and his unusual bat-like appearance.
Right now he and his siblings are getting 24/7 care and monitoring, fluids, and special food, and we’re happy to say they’re doing great! All three are back on track to grow into healthy little kittens, and it’s all thanks to your support.
You can help Niko and other kittens like him with some special holiday gifts we’re selling this year! Shop our Holiday Gift Guide to find symbolic sponsorships for our programs in greatest need, such as Hope for Tiny Families which provides life-saving foster supplies for situations like this. Your recipient will get a card and certificate explaining the impact their gift has made ❤️
