FAQs

Where are the parties offered?
Birthdays are located on-site at the Roanoke Valley SPCA, located at 1340 Baldwin Avenue, Roanoke, VA 24012 and hosted in our meeting room. We do not offer at home or off site birthdays.

What ages are the parties geared towards?
Our parties are for children turning 4-13. We will adapt the program to your child’s age when possible.

How many guests may be we have?
The fee includes 12 children (including the birthday child). Adults do not count toward the total number of participants, but they do not receive favors, participate in games, etc. We ask that 2 adults be present during the party assist with children as needed and help the party coordinator with simple tasks such as holding doors and keeping the party guests together.

May we bring in food?
You are welcome to bring in any outside food. The refrigerator and freezer will be available if you need to store food during the party. We do not have access to a stove, oven or microwave for you.

May we decorate the room?
Decorations are included in the party fee so additional decorations may not be needed. If you wish to hang a personalized banner (which you bring and purchase) you may do so.

In lieu of gifts for the birthday child, may we ask for donations for the shelter?
Yes, of course! We have many birthday guests who want to give back to the community by asking their friends to bring in items for the animals instead of gifts for themselves. We have a full wish list of items that we always need, or you may ask closer to your party and we can let you know what we are most in need of at the time.

May we bring our dog/cat to the party?
No, for the safety of your pet and our shelter guests, please leave your animals at home.
