SF SPCA x Cotton the First
When you purchase a limited-edition Cotton the First shirt between November 1 and December 31, 10% of the proceeds go to the SF SPCA.
Designed to celebrate the “Fearless Felines” and “Carefree Canines” of the city, these shirts are sure to bring a smile to your face.
It all starts with you! More than 600 volunteers joined us at Macy’s last year to experience the magic of Holiday Windows.
The Windows will remain open every day throughout the holiday season from 10am to 7pm, except Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Please note that on Sunday, November 24, the Windows will be open from 11am to 6pm.
Did you know that we help nearly three quarters of our adoptable animals overcome medical challenges in our Shelter Medicine department before they can be adopted? Medical care is just one of many ways the SF SPCA has made a difference in the lives of thousands of animals every year for the last 151 years.
As an independent, local nonprofit, we rely on charitable giving to help animals and their people. Donations from people like you ensure animals like those in the windows receive the help they need and the loving homes they deserve. Give today and your gift will be matched.
Macy’s flagship stores – including New York City’s Herald Square – are internationally renowned and preeminent destinations for tourists.
With the collective support of our customers and employees, Macy’s builds community and helps make a difference in every market we serve, supporting local and national charities by giving nearly $50 million each year, plus 146,000 hours of volunteer service.
For more than 160 years, Macy’s has, and continues to, make life shine brighter for our customers, colleagues, and communities.
Many thanks to our longtime supporter, Nestle Purina PetCare Company.
Purina believes pets and people are better together, which is why they support events like Holiday Windows. Purina supports the SF SPCA’s mission to put pets and the people who love them together every day.
Purina generously donates all of the food and litter for the 5,000+ animals at the SF SPCA waiting for loving people like you to take them home. Meow, woof, thank you Purina!

No, the animals return to their respective shelters each evening.
Macy’s has gone to extensive lengths to ensure the animals are both safe and comfortable in the windows. Though it may be either hot or cold outside, each enclosure is temperature controlled and should the windows become too warm at certain points in the day, the animals are removed.
SF ACC staff handles the adoptions of SF ACC animals. SF SPCA staff handles the adoptions for SF SPCA animals.
The adoption process includes a screening of potential adopters for their suitability for guardianship as well as matching individuals to specific animals. We employ the same rigorous adoption standards at Macy’s as at our permanent adoption centers.
Donations made outside of Macy’s will go to the SF SPCA and ACC.
Yes, they will be available at the adoption centers if they do not return to Macy’s.
