Kent County SPCA

Putting your pet to sleep

The Kent County SPCA recognizes that the hardest part of pet guardianship is the day you have to decide to let your beloved pet cross Rainbow Bridge.

We offer euthanasia services for the public by appointment. Please call 302-698-3006 (option 2 at the main menu) if you need to schedule this service for your pet. There are many options, and you will be asked when you call what service you will need. You will also be asked whether you plan on being present for the euthanasia.

The appointments that we have for private euthanasia are (Monday through Saturday):

Owner not Present: 1pm, 1:15pm, 1:30pm, 1:45pm and 2:00pm

Owner present: 2pm, 2:30pm, 3pm

Dear Friend of the KCSPCA;

Thank you for your interest in our furry friends in Delaware.

The Kent County SPCA is requesting our friends to use our letter as a guide to let our elected officials understand how important our animals welfare is to residents. If you have any questions, please feel fee to contact us.

Thank you.

The Kent County SPCA will begin limited intake of cats

The intake is as follows:

Feral cats in traps will be accepted at the Camden location during normal business hours only. (normal business hours are Monday-Friday; 10:30am-6:00pm).
Stray cats will be accepted at the Camden location during normal business hours only.
Owned cats can only be taken in as space permits.

Please call in advance to see if space permits; if not, you will be placed on a waiting list, and called as space becomes available.

There are turn in fees for owned animals; please make sure to ask what that fee is when you arrange to bring your cat in.

We apologize if this causes any hardship; we are working only to protect the health and lives of the animals currently calling the Kent County SPCA home.

Two raccoons have recently tested positive for rabies,

it is important to keep rabies vaccinations on your pets current.

Acquainting Delawareans with our state’s ONLY open-door shelter

Every year, in communities across Delaware, thousands of dogs find themselves lost, abandoned, abused or neglected.Seven days a week, every week of the year, we at the Kent County SPCA open our doors to them, providing what is sometimes a first — and sometimes the only — refuge for those dogs that have become the most unwanted among us.But our job doesn’t end there.
