A decision to cancel an American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) donation could be due to financial reasons and not because you love animals less.
Launched in 1886, the ASPCA has undertaken programs designed to rescue, protect, care, and relocate animals. These programs are funded by monthly donations from animal lovers who become ASPCA Guardians.
When you sign up as an ASPCA Guardian, you’re asked to donate a minimum of $19 monthly.
If you’re struggling with the donations, canceling your ASPCA monthly donation is okay.
Remember, there are other ways to show your love for animals.

Is Donating to the ASPCA Worth It?
Yes, because your donation will help fund efforts to rescue, protect, and relocate neglected animals.
The ASPCA has more than 150 years of experience, giving long-suffering animals a second chance at life.
For transparency, you can view the ASPCA’s annual report on its website and see how the group distributes the donations.
Are There Other Animal Welfare Groups?
Yes… and some could be in your neighborhood!
The ASPCA isn’t the only non-profit organization that cares about the rescue, protection, and relocation of animals. Local animal welfare groups in your area carry out similar programs.
You can visit local animal shelters to contribute or bring one home as a pet. If the Guardian membership is no longer sustainable, cancel your ASPCA donation.
