Celebrate Golden Oldies at the ASPCA Adoption Center in New York City

November marks Adopt a Senior Pet Month, that time of year when we get to celebrate the wonderfully loving nature of older dogs and cats!

Senior pets tend to stay in shelters longer, despite their tendency to be deeply loving companions whose life experience helps them be confident in life and love. Let’s show senior cats and dogs that they are truly golden and deserve a second chance! 

Join Us for a Special Adoption Event

When: Saturday, November 21, 2026 — 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Where: ASPCA Adoption Center, 424 E. 92nd St., New York, NY 10128

On Saturday, November 21, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., you can visit the Adoption Center and enjoy listening to golden oldies while falling in love with a senior cat or dog. In honor of this special month, we’re also partnering with our friends at Walker’s Shortbread, who are joining in on the festivities!

During the event, adopters of animals age six and above, as well as animals who have been in our care for a while (they are “senior” in their tenure with us), will receive:

• A waived adoption fee (usually a $150 donation)
• A complimentary tin of Walker’s Shortbread
• A free pet blanket (while supplies last)
• Pet toys
• Pet treats
• A week’s worth of pet food

If you would like to attend, registration is recommended by Wednesday, November 18. You can register for the event here!
