DRYDEN – Are you a cat person? If you are, then these fury felines need a new forever home.
The Second Chance Pet Network in Dryden to part in a cat transfer with Sudbury’s Northern shelter to make room for other animals.
Now, Second Chance Pet Network has 36 new adorable cats that are looking for a people to them a happy and healthy home.
“By working together, we are able to find animals homes in areas of the province where families are waiting to adopt a furry family member,” says Arista Wogenstahl, Transfer Team Lead, Community Outreach Services, Ontario SPCA and Humane Society. “Through this re-homing mission, these cats will find loving homes, and the Second Chance Pet Network will have the capacity to assist more animals who need sheltering and care in the North.”
Once ready for adoption, the cats will be available through the Ontario SPCA Provincial Education & Animal Centre in Stouffville, the Sudbury & District Animal Centre, the Ontario SPCA Barrie Animal Centre and the Ontario SPCA Midland & District Animal Centre.
Animals adopted through the Ontario SPCA are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
“Second Chance Pet Network faces some unique issues in helping people and their animals, whether it be with medical care, people having to surrender animals or trying to find good homes for them,” says Ann Owens, Founder and Director of Second Chance Pet Network. “We also have a large problem with community/feral cats and newborn kittens. We are so profoundly grateful to the Ontario SPCA for taking these animals that once had a home and placing them into their animal centres, where they have a much better chance of finding new homes. We also would not be able to care for the number of feral colonies that we have if not for all the food the Ontario SPCA sends us. We are so happy to have their support!”
The Ontario SPCA and its partners provide food and care to these animals, but space is limited due to the increased animal population across Northern Canada.
Therefore, managing the animal populations through spaying and neutering pets and adoption initiatives ensures that domestic animals such as cats aren't left without a home.
