ASPCA Mobile Adoption Unit
The ASPCA Mobile Adoption Unit visits communities throughout the tri-state area, making adoption accessible by bringing animals and people together. Adopters can meet and spend time with an available cat or dog and go home with their new furry friend the same day.
Please note that Mobile Adoption events are subject to change. We recommend checking this page for any last-minute updates to event listings.



- Adoptions are first-come, first-served. We recommend arriving as early as possible, as our animal selection may be limited.
- You must be 18 years of age or older to adopt.
- Be sure to check your building’s policy relevant to pet ownership to avoid any landlord concerns.
- Please note that all adult cats and some kittens who are available for adoption will be required to go home in a secure pet carrier. If you already own a secure pet carrier, we encourage you to bring it with you when you come to adopt. We strongly urge all adopters, especially those adopting cats over nine months old, to invest in a secure pet carrier. For your convenience, we have these pet carriers available for purchase or rent for a fee of $40.
