GEORGIAN TRIANGLE HUMANE SOCIETY
*************************
In just a few short days, the GTHS animal shelter has taken in over 35 cats and kittens that are in need of food, care and shelter. This large intake brings the animal shelter to an all-time high of over 150 cats and kittens in their program. With emergencies walking in the door daily, the society is appealing to the community for support.
“With over 150 cats and kittens in our care and more coming in every day, we are all working at full capacity. We are going through a month’s worth of supplies in under two weeks. This, combined with dozens of medical emergencies that need treatment, means we are really starting to feel the impact,” said Sonya Reichel, executive director for the GTHS.
To help meet the need from the community, the GTHS has developed a few options:
Consider adoption during the PAWsivitely PURRfect summer promotion - From now until the end of August, all cats and kittens adoption fees have been reduced by 50 per cent to help facilitate loving adoptions. With cats now at $50 and kittens at $75, their adoption still includes their spay/neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, parasite treatment and I.D. microchip. Come visit the shelter any day of the week between 12-4 p.m.
Celebrate International Homeless Animal’s Day this Saturday, Aug. 18 at PetSmart Owen Sound! - Join the team at the GTHS and PetSmart Owen Sound for an adoption event with tons of kittens and cats. All special adoption fees will apply and you can save yourself a long drive. Don’t forget to bring your carrier!
Consider being a Foster Hero - So far this year, over 130 mother cats and kittens have been fostered by GTHS foster heroes. This life-saving work allows the society to help unweaned kittens, nursing mothers and pregnant cats. The GTHS is currently recruiting more volunteers to join this team. Email [email protected] if you are interested.
Support our Guardian Angels Program - Milo the tabby and Keagan the kitten are two of the hundreds of stray cats that come to the GTHS each year. Both were found alone, hungry and terribly injured. Keagan requires eye removal surgery due to his terribly damaged eye and Milo will received femoral head excision surgery for this dislocated hip. The Guardian Angels program helps cats and dogs like Keagan and Milo by covering the extra medical costs required for their surgery. Please consider donating today by visiting here.
Consider sponsoring litter for the shelter cats and kittens - Join local businesses by supporting the GTHS litter program. Just $100 to the GTHS will purchase ten, 40 lbs bags of litter for the shelter cats and kittens. We will thank your business by sharing your generosity on our social media platforms. Just call 705-445-5204 ext. 221 to start the process today!
In addition, the GTHS is continually grateful for community support. By joining the PAW monthly giving program or making a gift to the GTHS, you are ensuring that every homeless pet gets the second chance they deserve. Visit here to help today and save a life.
