For nearly a year, Rory's family watched their beloved cat become increasingly anxious, reactive, and fearful. Despite trying enrichment, environmental changes, and careful management at home, Rory's behavior continued to escalate, leaving his family unsure how to help.

Working with the San Francisco SPCA Behavior Team, Rory's family developed a personalized plan that included behavior support, enrichment recommendations, and medication. Today, we're happy to share that Rory has gone nearly a year without an aggressive incident and is calmer, happier, and more comfortable navigating daily life.

Stories like Rory's remind us that behavior challenges are often rooted in fear, anxiety, or stress and that support is available. We're grateful to have been part of Rory's journey and proud of the progress he and his family have made together. 💛🐾

We’re proud to share that Governor Gavin Newsom recently issued a letter officially recognizing California Adopt-a-Pet Day and its role in helping shelter animals find loving homes.

In his letter, Governor Newsom highlighted California Adopt-a-Pet Day as a statewide collaboration among CalAnimals, the San Francisco SPCA, and the ASPCA, bringing together shelters across California to promote adoption and reduce overcrowding.

This recognition reflects the growing momentum behind a movement that has already helped thousands of animals find families since its launch in 2024. It also underscores the importance of continued investment in adoption, access to care, spay/neuter services, and policies that support animals, pet guardians, and shelters throughout California.

At the SF SPCA, we’re honored to lead this effort alongside our partners and the nearly 150 shelters and rescue organizations participating this year.
