Our adoptions are by appointment only!
If you need to rehome or surrender an animal, DO NOT abandon them at the Ulster County SPCA . We are happy to work with you and your situation to take the animal into our care. Abandoning an animal is against the law, and anyone who does so will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
To rehome an animal, please call us at (845) 331-5377 and choose Reception at extension 1. Please note that as of Dec 2024, we do have waiting lists for taking in animals, due to being at capacity in the shelter. We will work with you to make arrangements to take in the animal as soon as possible, and may even be able to offer foster-to-surrender. We give priority to animals adopted from the Ulster County SPCA and to residents of Ulster County, NY.

How to Donate
Because we receive no government funding, nor any from the ASPCA, we rely solely on the generous contributions from our community. Our shelter simply would not exist without your support, and we would not be able to help so many animals in need. Donate today by clicking below to our Donation Portal. If you would like to make an in-kind donation of goods, go to our wish list under the “Get Involved” section of our website. Thank you for your generosity!
Cash donations are needed more than any other type of donation right now. Donations can be mailed to 20 Wiedy Rd, Kingston NY 12401, called in to 845-331-5377, or given by clicking the donate button. All donations go towards caring for the animals in our shelter and providing basic pet supplies and care for members of our community. If you would like to donate in-kind items to the Ulster County SPCA, please leave them outside our shelter in the donation bins at the end of the sidewalk.
Upcoming Events

Sponsorship
We are thrilled to announce that Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union is our first $5,000 Patron Sponsor for 2025!
The Patron sponsorship directly provides care for our animals through sponsorship of our two large events – the 26th annual Fur Ball gala and our 12th annual Putt Fore Paws golfing tournament. These fundraisers are crucial for us to support our mission of helping, healing and adopting animals in Ulster County and beyond.
We are thrilled to announce that Berardi Reality will be our April Pet Path sponsor!
We work with other shelters and animal welfare organizations across the east coast and southern United States to ensure adoptable shelter animals have the chance to find their fur-ever home. It is a sad fact that many shelters are forced to euthanize due to a lack of space, and many wonderful animals lose their lives rather than finding a family.
Nearly every month, we transport litters of puppies, hard luck cases, and pets who have “overstayed” at other shelters to the Ulster County SPCA, where they are cared for and often adopted into new homes. This lifesaving work is one of our greatest accomplishments, and we hope you will be a part of that mission.
We are thrilled to announce that Sunflower Market will be our year-long Pet of the Month sponsor in 2025!
“Sunflower Market is excited to collaborate with the Ulster County SPCA and their remarkable Pet of the Month program in 2025! We’re delighted to bring a touch of magic to Ulster County, ensuring that our beloved furry companions are safe, happy, and receive affordable care. We are thankful for the chance to help shelter animals find their forever homes while supporting our wonderful neighbors and community. As a local independent business, we strive to make a positive difference, especially so close to home. Become a sponsor of the Ulster County SPCA and spread joy to countless wagging tails and grateful hearts!”
The Pet of the Month sponsorship highlights a different dog, cat or small animal each week. In social media posts, online videos, onsite posters, radio promotions, print articles and collaboration with local businesses, we aim to bring attention to shelter animals that might otherwise be overlooked. Often, reading about a particular animal encourages a potential adopter to come in and meet them. Every pet is their own individual and deserves the opportunity to put their best paw forward.
We are thrilled to announce that Lucas Pet Supply is now a Pet Pantry Partner with us!

Did you know the Ulster County SPCA is 95% funded by community members, businesses and civic organizations, and is not a part of either the ASPCA or the Ulster County government? It is this direct local support that keeps our doors open daily, fighting animal abuse and neglect, providing low-cost veterinary care, ensuring safe haven for homeless animals while offering solutions to keep pets in their homes. Our mission and work is possible thanks to our Patron Sponsor and the support of local businesses like Mid-Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union. Thank you for working hand-in-paw with us to care for the abused, neglected and homeless animals of Ulster County!
