We are a small group of dedicated foster homes working one animal at a time to bring down the number of homeless companion animals. We work towards quality rescue and placements as opposed to quantity. Our wonderful volunteers all work full time jobs and do this out of the kindness of their hearts. We provide medical care to all of our animals, this includes but is not limited to vaccines, deworming, flea preventative, testing, and of course spaying and neutering (on all cats and kittens, dogs are adopted out with the new owner having the responsibility).
We are a group that believes in spaying and neutering all companion animals to help reduce the population of unwanted animals euthanized each and every day throughout the country.
Here is a little history on our name. SPICER was created to honor the memory of one of my dearest and best friends, Lisa Spicer. Lisa and another very close friend were killed in a drunk driving accident on October 19, 1990. Shortly after Lisa passed away I was given a cute cuddly kitten, I named him Spicer in her memory. In March of 1996 Spicer my cat was poisoned with anti-freeze and died. This group and all the hard work of the wonderful volunteers is a tribute to the memory of Lisa and Spicer.
SPICER is a Federal Tax Exempt organization with a 501(c)(3) dated October 19th, 2004; the effective date is October 17th, 2003. We have worked so hard for this! Thank you to everyone who has supported us! We could not have helped all the animals we have nor could we continue to help the animals without all the kindness and support!

Our foster homes are located throughout the Lehigh Valley. We typically do our adoptions only within driving distance. We typically do not do out of state adoptions or transport our animals.
Additional adoption info
The first step to adopting a companion animal through our group would be to fill out our online application. Please let us know what pet you are interested in.
Once we have completed all reference checks we will be in touch to let you know if you have been pre-approved or not. We will than set up a time for you to meet the pet of your choice. If all goes well one of our volunteers will set up a home visit. At the time of adoption there will be a contract that is filled out and a small adoption fee of $85.00 per cat (NOTE: dog adoption fee varies) will be required to help us continue to save animals in need.
Please be aware that all our cats are adopted into indoor only homes unless otherwise stated. We also do not adopt out of state, or too far away from our foster homes that we could not do a home visit. We are a group that feels strongly that declawing is cruel mutilation of the cats paws and for this reason all adopters sign a contract agreeing to never have the procedure done on any cat adopted through us. We do however sometimes have previously declawed kitties in search of good loving homes.
If you have a donation and would like to send it to us, please send it to SPICER at PO Box 3126, Allentown, PA 18106-0126.
