JSPCA - Jerusalem Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals עמותת צער בעלי חיים ירושלים
The JSPCA is a non-profit serving the needs of animals in Jerusalem. The JSPCA is Jerusalem's largest animal shelter organization.

The Society runs a shelter in the Atarot industrial area of Jerusalem - a shelter which has been in continuous operation since 1970. We never refuse an animal if it is hurt, on the street or in a dangerous situation. Our shelter is a rescue shelter: Most animals that are not adopted live out their natural lives with us. That is why our shelter is generally overcrowded and often filled beyond its capacity. At any given time we house up to 300 dogs and 100 cats. In addition to our shelter, we have a vet clinic, with emergency capabilities.The JSPCA has an extensive spay/neuter program, we believe the only way to help deal with the current pet overpopulation. The Jerusalem Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is a registered non-profit organization.

30% of our goal — that’s how much we’ve managed to raise so far.

Thanks to you, we were able to pay salaries right before the holiday and cover some of our payments to suppliers.

Medications and medical supplies are running out — and not all suppliers are willing to keep waiting for payment. Completely justified on their part.

The electrical system upgrade forced upon us, following an external audit and fire department inspection, is stuck mid-process and halted until we complete payment to the contractor.

Right now, with weather forecasts predicting a harsh winter starting as early as next week, the heating systems in the shelter facilities and puppy yards are disconnected.
In a Jerusalem winter, this isn't a luxury — it's a matter of life and death.
Without the remaining 70%, alongside the many steps we are taking in parallel, we are in real danger.

We need you with us!

Close your eyes and imagine the streets of Jerusalem five years from now, with 1,227,600 additional cats roaming the city—after an equal number have already perished on its streets.

1,227,600 cats.

This isn't a typo, nor is it a dramatic slogan. It is the precise estimated number of kittens that will be born to face a life of struggle on the streets of Jerusalem within just 5 years—if our spay and neuter operations were to stop for even a single year.

Every year, the Jerusalem Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (JSPCA) spays approximately 600 female cats and neuters 400 male cats.

• Without Spaying: A single un-spayed female cat and her surviving offspring multiply exponentially into hundreds of thousands within a few short years.
• The Reality on the Streets: The vast majority of these kittens will never find a home. Instead, they face disease, traffic accidents, starvation, and freezing Jerusalem winters.
• Prevention Is Compassion: Spaying and neutering isn't just a demographic solution—it is the single most effective way to prevent suffering before it begins.

This essential project relies entirely on your support.
Every spay and neuter surgery requires resources, and every donation directly prevents entire future generations from being born into a harsh life on the street.

Help us continue saving lives and preventing unnecessary suffering.

the past year has "hit" us again and again.

The annual government support was canceled as if it never existed, many foundations have significantly reduced their support compared to previous years, the dollar exchange rate that significantly affected the value of donations in foreign currency, the general cost of living increased the high maintenance costs of our shelter, all this put us on the eve of the NEW YEAR, facing a broken trough.

Our society is strong, and I am sure that we will know how to get out of this situation and progress towards a better future and towards a new shelter for the animals.

But now, we are desperate for your help!

Without immediate fundraising of approximately 150,000 shekels, we may reach a point where suppliers will stop delivering us food, medicine and equipment that are so essential to our daily functioning.

Donate now!

Together! We will ensure the future of the animals in Jerusalem and its surroundings for many years to come.

It seems that genius has wonderful healing properties, otherwise it is simply impossible to understand how sweet Genius is still with us.

Genius arrived at our clinic on Thursday afternoon with a complaint of breathing difficulties for the past three days.

Due to his condition, the staff rushed to perform comprehensive tests including blood tests, X-rays, and ultrasound, alongside questioning the owners. The diagnosis indicated beyond a shadow of a doubt that the cat was injured by a significant blow or fall. It then turned out that the cat tried to go out through a door exactly as it was being shut, and the door closed on him.

Genius arrived with a collapsed left lung, a right lung filled with blood with almost no room for air, blood in the chest cavity that was drained, and a diaphragmatic hernia.

After two days in an oxygen cage and medical treatment, his condition has improved. He has an almost endless appetite, and next week, after full stabilization, he will be able to undergo a surgical procedure to repair the diaphragmatic hernia, and hopefully find the right home for him quickly.

And that home?
Maybe it's you?
