Why do you get charged for your cat and dog going to the SPCA?

You may be charged for your cat or dog going to the SPCA because these organizations often rely on fees to help cover the costs of care, shelter, and medical services for the animals. Adoption fees typically support spaying/neutering, vaccinations, and general upkeep of the facility. Additionally, these charges can help fund programs aimed at promoting animal welfare and education within the community.
