*************************
To help prepare for kitten season, a time when animal shelters typically see an increase in the number of tiny felines coming into their care, the Ontario SPCA Barrie Animal Centre is hosting a “kitten shower” on Sunday, April 28.
Drop by the animal centre [91 Patterson Rd.] between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to meet animals available for adoption, submit kitten name ideas, take part in kids colouring and crafts, learn more about volunteer opportunities, and discover the many community programs and services offered by the Ontario SPCA.
Animal lovers are encouraged to make a donation, or purchase some much-needed items for the kittens from the centre’s wish list. Not only will you be helping animals in need, but you will also be entered in a draw to win a cat- or dog-themed gift basket.
“We want to be prepared to care for the many cats and kittens we anticipate could arrive in our care over the coming months,” says Shannon Laflamme, community outreach co-ordinator with the Ontario SPCA Barrie Animal Centre. “We are so thankful for our community’s support and we look forward to welcoming our friends to the animal centre for this fun event.”
The Ontario SPCA Barrie Animal Centre is a registered charity that does not receive annual government funding and depends on the generosity of donors to help change the lives of animals in need.
