Second Chance Pet Adoption

    SCPA is a fully volunteer, non-profit charitable organization begun in August of 1997, dedicated to finding permanent, loving homes for orphaned, abandoned, stray and owner-relinquished kittens and cats. We have placed more than 420 feline friends to date.
    We are based in Long Beach, California, and have over the course of our four-plus years been graced with the efforts of more than 20 volunteers.
    Our goals are:
        lowering the numbers of cats euthanized at local animal shelters by spay/neuter;
        and educating the public about the care and welfare of cats.
    We provide neutering, care, comprehensive evaluation and placement of "pet quality" cats.

    If interested, please visit us on Sundays from 9 AM to 1 PM next to the weekly Farmers' Market on the parking lot of the Alamitos Bay Marina, on Marina Drive a half mile south of 2nd St, just west of Pacific Coast Highway, in southeast Long Beach. On behalf of felines everywhere, we thank you.
    Below are some photos of our weekly presence next to the Farmers' Market, all taken in late Summer 2001:

Many potential cat companions crowd around the canopied and protected cages stacked on tables.
 
 

        All of our cats

        are always

        carefully

        sheltered

        from the elements,

        as they meet the

        weekly throngs.

        Men also

        show their

        nurturing sides

        as they browse

        our purring

        offerings for

        companionship.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Our feline friends are protected from the elements the entire market time, even as we break down our stall.
        At the end of

        the marketing day,

        we take great care

        to ensure that

        all our felines

        remain secure

        and protected,

        as they are readied

        for the return to

        our shelter home.
