Cats, cookies, cuddles, Fulton SPCA offers furry stress relief
FULTON, N.Y. – If you are looking for a fun stress reliever, head to the Oswego County SPCA in Fulton. Every Thursday night they hold a Cats, Cookies and Cuddles evening from 6 to 8 p.m.
The SPCA’s cuddly cats play area is located in the basement of the State Street Methodist Church in Fulton. The play area provides all sorts of toys to keep the cats entertained, such as laser pointers, tunnels and teasers. You can also let the cats sit on your lap and relax with you.
The mission of the Oswego County SPCA is to improve the welfare of the community’s animals. The SPCA spays and neuters animals and rescues them from abuse, neglect, and homelessness.
The SPCA will also take care of dogs, guinea pigs, birds and even reptiles if given the opportunity.
Tanya Semchenko, the president of the board of directors for the Oswego County SPCA, says she started volunteering 13 years ago because animals are her friends.
“I have loved animals my whole life. I just feel that one of the most important characteristics people can have is empathy towards animals. And I think it says a lot about them.”
The Oswego County SPCA is completely volunteer-run and all of its funding comes from donations. The donations they receive directly benefit the animals, whether it’s food, toys, or other necessities for their furry friends.
If you want to donate or volunteer, you can call the SPCA at 315-297-4900 or sign up on their website at oswegocountyspca.org.
