The SPCA in Cattaraugus County deserves a makeover. This SPCA obtains most of its income through fundraisers. Our county is a poor one. People have few opportunities for jobs, and therefore, have little money to donate. Our shleter needs a lot of repairs and makeovers. The SPCA of CAttaraugus County needs a revamped heating system,a new roof, a ventalion system and another set of industrial washer and dryers.

Thank you for coming to the SPCA of Cattaraugus County. Creating this contest has made the community more supportive of our local shelter. Our status went from 37th to 15th in the last 10 or so days of the contest. People were talking about our shlter and the animals. News spread. While I was sitting at a fundraiser for the shelter, many people stopped by and told about their experiences with the SPCA of Cattaraugus County. Many wonderful stories, 1 disappointing one; however even that person donated to our cause. People asked how they could help. Kelly, Phil, Amy, Jim, John and Lisa worked very hard(as did others) to increase our chances of being in the top20. Today, as I spoke with Phil, I realised again how much he and Kelly love the animals. I told Phil that my husband and I would adopt one of the Katrina survivors after our vacation. Phil and Kelly are both helping us find a dog that would fit our family. The personal care they put into the placements makes the difference in an adoption. I can't wait until I get the dog they want me to have. Please choose our SPCA of Cattaraugus County. We need so much and our area of NYS is so financially deprived, with the loss of jobs and closing of factories. That is why we have so many farm animals in our cruelty cases. Thank you again for all that you do.
