We’re Painting the Big Apple…Orange?

Photoshoot

That’s right, orange. That’s our color, so wear it like you mean it in honor of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month this April. We’re going to get down and party on behalf of animals.

So dress yourself, your kids—even your pets—in ASPCA orange and join us on Tuesday, April 7, in New York City's Union Square Park from 4:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. for an evening of commemoration. Highlights include:

  • Free refreshments and entertainment, including live music by the X Brothers—featuring Joe Bouchard of Blue Oyster Cult
  • A variety of pet-themed activities, including caricaturists, photographers and airbrushers
  • Meet-and-greet time with ASPCA's animal cops, behaviorists and pet poison prevention specialists
  • Fun giveaways and free vaccinations for cats and dogs at our mobile clinic
  • The showcasing of some of our wonderful animals who will be looking to find their forever homes
  • A spectacular sunset surprise, when buildings throughout the city will light up in ASPCA orange!

Make no mistake, animal lovers—we’ve got plenty of reasons to celebrate! From the ASPCA Disaster Response Team’s efforts during Hurricanes Gustav and Ike to our involvement in Tennessee’s largest-ever puppy mill raid, we’ve had many victories in fighting animal cruelty in the past year. ASPCA founder Henry Bergh would be proud!

    The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals does NOT suggest cat owrnes declaw their cats to use this app. Declawing is banned in England, as it is in 36 other countries, because it is cruel and can cause permanent pain to a cat. The Society has called declawing unethical mutilation.
