Albemarle Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

The Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA (caspca), founded in 1914, has served the region for over a century. Contracted by the city of Charlottesville and Albemarle county, caspca provides essential public animal sheltering services. Our goal is to reduce the time pets spend in shelters and minimize companion animal entries into Virginia shelters. Key services include low-cost spay/neuter and wellness care, return-to-owner and rehoming support, trap-neuter-return (tnr) for community cats, lifesaving animal transfers, public education and outreach, and affordable veterinary services. We also mentor partner shelters and distribute donated pet food to support pet owners in need.
