Our Mission: Speaking Up For the Animals in Quebec

The Montreal SPCA shelter takes in over 10,000 animals a year and is the largest independent charity in Quebec dedicated to the animal cause.

The Montreal SPCA relies on the hard work of its devoted volunteers and staff members to fulfill its mission with heart and determination, as it has done for over 150 years. We are driven by the values of our donors, who fund 70% of our annual operating budget. Your renewed support is crucial to fulfilling our mission.

How Your Donations Help Animals​

The Montreal SPCA applies best animal welfare practices recognized in North America to better protect animals, ensure their well-being, give them a second chance and develop programs to address the root causes of animal issues. Thanks to public donations, we are able to help animals in many different ways:  

Providing medical care (X-rays, blood tests, emergency surgeries, etc.) to injured, sick or abused animals

Sheltering and feeding animals without a safety net and finding them adoptive families 

Changing laws and mindsets to build a society that’s ever more compassionate and inclusive of animals

Supporting our Investigations Division, whose work brings justice for neglected or abused animals 

Developing educational programs to raise children’s awareness of animal welfare and to foster their compassion and safe behaviour

Implementing community support programs, for instance to keep families together and to improve animals’ living conditions

And so much more! Learn about our latest achievements here.
