The ASPCA, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, is a nationwide non-profit organization dedicated to ending animal cruelty and abuse. The Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was founded in 1824 and Henry Bergh followed suit and founded the ASPCA in New York in 1866. It is the oldest animal welfare organization in the USA. The ASPCA began operating animal hospitals in 1912, and the society continues to offer low-cost veterinary care and poison control hotline services for animals. ASPCA focuses primarily on companion animal welfare issues and works closely with local governments to assist with shelter operations, animal adoptions, and spay and neuter services to address animal overpopulation issues. The ASPCA also works to assist with developing anti-cruelty laws and programs for animals in many locations as well. As a non-profit, the ASPCA relies on donations to finance its initiatives. Individuals may choose to make a memorial or honorary gifts, one-time donations, monthly giving, or planned to give as part of the development of a will or estate planning. Monthly donations are processed once per month for the specified amount chosen by the donor on a recurring basis. The amount of the monthly donations can be changed at any time if needed or desired by the donor and contributions may be stopped at any point with no minimum commitment time period or penalty. If a cancellation is too close to the processing date then one more monthly donation may process before the cancellation is finalized.
