Ways to Donate to the SPCA Cincinnati

The animals at the SPCA Cincinnati depend on donations from people like you. As a non-profit organization, we count on SPCA donations to provide food, care, shelter, and more. Your gift is a wonderful way to show compassion to homeless and vulnerable animals. Did you know that many companies will match your donations? Ask your company today!

There are many ways to donate, and every dollar helps save animals’ lives and provide humane services throughout our community. Your support makes you part of a driving force in animal welfare, strengthening the human-animal bond, providing humane education, eliminating pet overpopulation and more. Thank you for your generosity.

Sponsorships are $425 a month or $5,000 a year. If you prefer to pay for your sponsorship online, click here to donate and select Veteran Pet Adoption Program in the "Donate to" drop-down list.

Please provide any information or questions you may have in the Special Notes Section and we will get back to you! Thank you for helping out both our animals and those who serve.

ABCs of Adopting Me, written by Sydney Ragland and Illustrated by Diane Corman is a children's book designed to help young readers through the important steps to consider before welcoming a new pet into their lives. Including illustrations, this book takes readers on an alphabetical journey, covering key aspects of the adoption process that children must consider before welcoming an animal into their home. Every letter introduces a new idea, offering insightful perspectives with the goal of fostering empathy between kids and their animals.

Not only is it a wonderful children's book, proceeds from this book support our animals. Thank you, Sydney and Diane, for your passion and talents in helping the SPCA Cincinnati educate thousands of children!

The SPCA Cincinnati is proud to introduce its current initiative: Chow Now Pantry! This program is fostered by a relationship with Clossman Catering in which we will feed 700 dogs, as well as cats and small animals, weekly. The SPCA Cincinnati has been Cincinnati’s hometown shelter since 1873, with many “firsts” to benefit animal welfare – the Chow Now Pantry is another first. We believe NO pet owner should be worried about surrendering an animal because of financial or health reasons.

Our story began with our Chow Now Pantry Food Truck visiting various pop-up locations in the Greater Cincinnati area. Pop-up locations have been identified with our partner, Tikkun Farms. Tikkun Farms is a 3.5-acre family farm in Mt. Healthy. On November 15, 2023, we opened a dedicated Chow Now Pantry location at 516 W. Wyoming Ave. in Lockland in conjunction with Pets in Need. The distribution center is open to the public every other Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 12 Noon. Anyone in need of free pet food can come to this pantry once a month. We are so excited about this expansion and want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of our amazing volunteers, especially Pets In Need’s director and founder, Ann Hill!

The SPCA Cincinnati’s newest pet food pantry storefront at 11471 Deerfield Road is available weekly, every Thursday, 1-4 pm.

How can you help? It's easy to donate via our Chow Now Amazon Wish List here! You can also bring dry or canned pet food, as well as anything for small animals, to the SPCA Cincinnati in Sharonville at 11900 Conrey Road, Cincinnati, OH 45249.

“The Chow Now Pantry is something we’ve been planning to implement for a while now,” says Mike Retzlaff, President & CEO of SPCA Cincinnati. “Our goal is to keep people and pets together! Pets give hope and comfort that everyone deserves, especially through challenging times. The Chow Now Pantry initiative helps make our goals possible, providing essential resources to maintain their health.”

It is through the efforts of community partners like you that allow us to continue the quality care and services that we seek to provide for deserving Veterans. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you again for future events."

Back in 2012, my husband Peter and I lost our 1-year-old French Bulldog, Bizzy, due to a very sudden and unexpected illness. After spending a week with our veterinarian, working tirelessly on medical treatments to try to get her well, we came to understand just how expensive critical care really is. We were fortunate enough to be able to try everything possible and this experience made us think more about the animals in a similar position who are rescued and sheltered by SPCA Cincinnati.

In 2014, when we learned that SPCA Cincinnati takes extraordinary measures to provide successful outcomes, we were inspired to create the Bizzy Fund. The mission of the Bizzy Fund is to provide funding to help these extraordinary cases and provide life-altering treatment to impact the lives of even more SPCA Cincinnati shelter animals in need of medical care, extensive surgeries, orthopedics, intensive around-the-clock care, or other measures necessary.

It is our belief that every animal should have a second chance at life and it gives us joy knowing that so many animals in need of extraordinary medical treatment are saved through this Fund with the help of the hardworking SPCA Cincinnati staff, volunteers, and foster care families. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing these innocent animals healthy, happy and on their way to loving homes.

Although Bizzy is not here with us today, her legacy lives on through each and every animal touched by this Fund.

SPCA Cincinnati works hard to save each animal’s life and we invite you to join us in fulfilling our mission. If you wish to give to the Bizzy Fund, you can do so here, and please let us know in the notes section. If you are sending your gift through the mail, simply indicate that you would like your gift to go to the Bizzy Fund.

We thank you for your consideration in allowing us to take extraordinary measures for these extraordinary cases, because SPCA Cincinnati values the lives of each and every animal they care for.

CLICK HERE TO DONATE TODAY!

Dear Friend of Animals,

Thank you for your support during this uncertain time. Due to the critical state of the public health crisis posed by COVID-19, the SPCA Cincinnati will remain closed to the public until further notice. But we need your help!

Even though we are closed to the public, we still have staff on-site, working to ensure the health, mental enrichment, and overall sanitation of hundreds of shelter animals that we care for like our own. They depend on us and it is our priority to protect and care for them. We are eternally grateful for our tireless volunteers and staff who are working to make sure all of our pets are receiving the same quality care. And we are SO thankful for generous supporters like you who make all of this possible!

Like everyone else right now, we don't know what the future looks like. So, I am asking you for a donation today to help keep our operations running at the same quality level as it always has.

There are several ways that you can help the SPCA Cincinnati during this time:
• Donate online here or by clicking the link above. We are still accepting donations through the mail but donating online will ensure that the funds get to us faster and also means less time our staff will need to be in the office during this cautious time. You can also drop off in-kind material items along with this form, which can be printed from home.
• Purchase something from our Amazon Wish List, which will ship directly to us.
• We would also love donations to our "Baby Registry"!
• Information about fostering a shelter animal can be found here.

Don’t forget, when shopping at Amazon, go to Amazon Smile. Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to the SPCA Cincinnati. Once signed into AmazonSmile, you simply choose “SPCA Cincinnati" as your supporting charity.

Once again, thank you for speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves. Please take care of yourself and your family - furry and otherwise!

Sincerely,
