Assuring compassionate treatment of all animals through rescue, rehabilitation, protection and education.
SPCA Monterey County’s free Pet Food Bank keeps pets with the families who love them.
Last year alone, we distributed over 149,000 pounds of pet food, and the need continues to grow. Each week, the Pet Food Bank helps more than 700 pets receive the nourishment they need, giving families peace of mind during challenging times.
We also provide pet food to local food banks for those who can’t travel to us and we deliver free food and supplies during disasters like floods and fires.
The Pet Food Bank ensures pets can stay with the people who love them—especially when that love is needed most.
Thanks to your support, the SPCA is always here for pets and people in need.
At SPCA Monterey County, no animal is ever turned away—young or old, injured or healthy, any breed or species. We respond to reports of abuse, neglect, and cruelty, rescuing animals in need and helping them find loving homes. Injured animals receive medical care, and our low-cost clinic provides spay/neuter and vaccinations to help prevent suffering.
Our services reach people and pets throughout Monterey County, including humane education, our Pet Food Bank, Pet Meals, disaster response, and humane investigations.
Thanks to supporters like you, we are here for animals and people whenever they need us.
I feel like it prevents people from feeling like they need to put their dogs or animals back in a shelter. If you're able to get help with food, it's a huge thing and they can keep their pets in the family. They don't have to worry about giving up their pet. That's something that's been so sad since 2020 that I've seen. I feel like the Pet Food Bank is such a huge benefit. We've always tried to give to help others, too. We've helped a lot of people in our life. No judgment. People go through a hard time and they need help. And it's nice that the SPCA helps people without judgment. Our pets are very well loved. We're very lucky. That's for sure.
