New Adoption Policy
NYS Shelter/Rescue Registration # – RR025
As of January 2019, Spring Farm CARES will no longer have an adoption program. Please consider adopting from other humane societies and rescues.
Spring Farm CARES is first and foremost a sanctuary for animals who are generally considered “unadoptable” or “hard to place.” Most of the animals in our sanctuary will be with us for life. Any animal accepted into our facility is guaranteed a place to stay for the remainder of its life. This is their home and their safe haven.
Cats, Dogs, Rabbits and other Small Animals
Cats
Our cats make up the largest portion of our animal population. Almost all of them are considered special needs or hard to place. What does this mean? Many of them are elderly. Many of them are younger but have special medical conditions that require medications or special prescription diets. This includes male cats that have had a history of urinary blockages, cats with thyroid conditions, cats with immune problems that make them predisposed to getting upper respiratory infections, etc. They are wonderful cats but they would require a home that is willing and able to care for their varying health needs. Still others have behavioral issues that make them less likely to be adopted. Behaviors such as inconsistent litter box use for example. These cats will live out their lives with us in their communal rooms. Many have formed lasting friendships in their colonies and cannot be separated from them. These cats all know that this is their home and are very happy here. (They do however LOVE to have visitors!) And some of the cats are waiting for just the right person to come in to their lives and offer them a different experience. They have so much to give and share. You an also sponsor one of our animals and be a part of their lives that way. Find out more about each of our cats on our Cat Page.
Rabbits and Pocket Pets
As of early 2016, we are no longer able to accept rabbits into our sanctuary. All of the rabbits still at our sanctuary will live out their lives here with us.
Horses and Farm Animals
We do not adopt out horses or farm animals as they are all elderly or have special needs. They live out their lives with us here on the farm. You can see all of our horses and read about them on our Horse Page and our goats and sheep can be seen on our Goat Page and our pigs can be seen on our Pig Page.
