The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is awarding $1 million in grant funding to Animal Care Centers of NYC to support their operations and fund key programs, including those aimed at keeping pets and their families together and preventing shelter relinquishments throughout the COVID-19 crisis and beyond.
In addition to providing grant funding, ASPCA officials indicated that the organization is committed to continuing to support ACC’s efforts through a multi-faceted collaboration, which includes providing veterinary care for owned pets living in underserved communities, spay/neuter services for homeless animals, and the transfer of dogs and cats, including victims of cruelty and neglect, to the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City.
