Susquehanna SPCA

It's one of those situations where the perfect storm took place at the Susquehanna SPCA (SQSPCA) where an already full-capacity situation with cats along with the unexpected arrival of 14 dogs with another 10 dogs arriving from the Humane Society of Louisianna.

This past weekend, I accompanied a family friend to the Susquehanna SPCA just outside of Cooperstown on Rt. 28 to pick up her new 5-month-old kitten named "Jack".

Many people turned out on Saturday, July 17 to check out the new Susquehanna SPCA facility which was celebrating its opening with an open house event.

With the help of volunteers who are well versed in horse care, deputies from the Otsego County Sheriff's Department and the SQSPCA rescued several horses from a farm in Morris

The Susquehanna SPCA is selling its current location on Rt. 28, just outside of Cooperstown to the Montezuma Winery & Hidden Marsh Distillery of Seneca Falls

The idea is to raise awareness of the less than perfect life of long-term pet residents at shelters and the importance of rehoming animals as soon as possible for their well-being

The Susquehanna SPCA now has a hotline to report suspected animal abuse

These cats needed to be relocated right away

Puppy mills typically pack dogs into filthy, overcrowded, stacked wire cages and "caretakers" deny the animals healthy food, clean water and basic veterinary care

puppy mills are cruel and inhumane and there are several currently operating in and around Otsego County
