The next day, residents should pick up the cat and return the cat back to where it was found. At the clinic, all cats receive a thorough exam, spay/neuter surgery, ear tip, and are vaccinated for Rabies – all for a cost of $20. Residents should trap unowned cats and then bring those cats to the York County SPCA’s low-cost spay/neuter clinic. Instead, the York County SPCA advocates for a real, long-term solution to address our county’s cat population growth rates (more details on the next page). Additionally, surrendering free-roaming cats does not reduce York County’s free roaming cat population long-term.

In most cases, due to behavioral issues, feral or free-roaming cats will never be a candidate for adoption, which leaves those cats with an almost guaranteed outcome of euthanasia.

Healthy, free-roaming community cats: In most situations, the York County SPCA will not accept healthy free-roaming cats into the shelter as a surrendered animal.

The following is the York County SPCA’s protocol for managing York County’s unowned, free roaming community cats. The York County SPCA has a negotiated agreement with the AERC and MDAH, to hold and stabilize injured animals until the next day when an agent of the York County SPCA can transport the injured animal to our shelter. York County residents and Animal Control Officers must call ahead to notify shelter staff that they are transporting a stray dog to our shelter.Īny sick and/or injured stray animal that needs care outside of normal York County SPCA business hours should seek assistance at the Animal Emergency and Referral Center of York or the Mason Dixon Animal Hospital. Stray dogs are accepted during our open hours, from 8:00 a.m. We accept owner surrendered cats, dogs, small animals, birds, and more.

If surrendering is the best course of action, a tentative surrender appointment will be scheduled based upon available cage space. A staff member will reach out within the week to discuss the surrender profile and provide counsel on alternatives.

The York County SPCA is requiring owners wishing to surrender their pets to schedule an appointment.
