SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CA (MPG) - On June 23rd, 2021, the Sacramento SPCA celebrated the completion of the Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center – home to the state’s largest high-quality/high-volume spay neuter clinic.
During a special open house hosted in front of the new 10,000 square foot state-of-the-art animal hospital located at the Sacramento SPCA, state and local public officials joined Sacramento SPCA CEO Kenn Altine, staff and other special guests to commemorate this life-saving accomplishment and tour the new medical facility.
Although the new health center just opened in late January, The Sacramento SPCA’s commitment to providing extraordinary veterinary service on behalf of animals and celebrating the human-animal bond has already been recognized by the California Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA). Kenn Altine, Sacramento SPCA CEO, accepted the CVMA’s Meritorious Service Award at the organization’s virtual conference last week and was also recently featured in the California Veterinarian Magazine.
Opening the Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center has already increased surgery capacity at the Sacramento SPCA this year and positioned the organization to meet the growing needs of pets and the people who love them in our community by doubling surgery capacity over the next 5 years.
As of June 30, 2021, more than 8,100 animals have been altered in the new Zoe K. McCrea Animal Health Center, including animals waiting for a new home at the Sacramento SPCA, publicly owned animals, community cats, and animals from other local shelters and rescues.
Beginning Friday, July 2nd, the Sacramento SPCA is hosting a special adoption event to help large dogs and adult cats find new homes. For the month of July, the adoption fee for all dogs who weigh 50 lbs or more will be $50 (normally $110) and adult cats who are 7 months and older can be adopted for $5 (normally $45). In addition, the fee to adopt rabbits will also be reduced to $5 (normally $45).
See who is available for adoption at sspca.org/adoptable and help us spread the word! Sacramento SPCA is located at 6201 Florin Perkins Road, Sacramento.
