The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was the first humane society to be established in North America and is, today, one of the largest in the world. Our organization was founded by Henry Bergh in 1866 on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans, and must be protected under the law. Headquartered in New York City, the ASPCA maintains a strong local presence, and with programs that extend our anti-cruelty mission across the country, we are recognized as a national animal welfare organization. We are a privately funded 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation, and proud to boast more than 1 million supporters across the country.

Dr. Kath Miller: Hi! I am Dr. Kath Miller of the ASPCA, and we are talking about how to prepare for and care for your newly adopted cat. Before you bring your new kitty home, it's a very good idea to line up all of the services and professionals that you may need after you bring your cat home.
Talk to family and friends for recommendations for a local veterinarian, for a cat sitter, a local pet supply store, and also investigate pet health-care insurance. This can be a very good money saver if your cat should become sick or injured after adoption.
Finally, get the number for the Animal Poison Control Center handy just in case of emergency. These things will help you be prepared for any situation that might arise after your cat comes home. Next, we'll be talking about bringing a new cat home and helping it to settle in.
