The San Francisco SPCA is a nonprofit animal welfare organization based in San Francisco, California. It traces its roots to 1868, when a local incident spurred a group to found an institution focused on rescuing and protecting animals from cruelty, and it has since become a leading force in saving homeless cats and dogs and preventing abandonment. The organization provides medical care and other services for animals facing illness or homelessness and links it with people through adoption, fostering, and volunteering. In 2026, SF SPCA expanded its efforts through collaborations with other rescue groups, including a partnership that brought 93 cats to San Francisco from Stray Cat Alliance. Based in a major city and long-standing in the sector, it pursues initiatives such as Vision 2030 to extend its impact across the community and beyond.
