Charitywatch.org has assigned a C-minus grade to the American Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).  This classification is based on a review of expenses in relation to donations received and is derived from the annual financial statements released by all registered charities.  Charity Watch determined that 49 percent of the ASPCA expenditure is devoted to administration and overhead based on the SPCA tax return for Fiscal 2021.

The CEO of ASPCA received $990,000 in compensation.  More than 250,000 ASPCA employees received over $100,000 annually in salarfies.  The ASPCA has $500 million in assets and has parked $11 million offshore in accounts.

The ASPCA  funds only one animal shelter in New York City with minimal distribution to regional and local shelters operated by ASPCA organizations.

Activists Watch, compiled by Will Coggin, recommends making donations directly to local shelters that obviously perform a community service. These organizations devote a higher proportion of donations to adoption and also provide veterinary treatment to pets under conditions of financial hardship for owners.
