Despite the increased adoptions, there are still animals needing homes. On June 30, Parry Sound Pet Valu hosted a Cat Adopta-thon where the adoption fee was cut from $150 to $50 and the store donated $10 per cat to the OSPCA. That day, six cats found new homes. "Usually, at this time of year, we average five (cat adoptions) a week," said Paige Lubbelinkhof, Parry Sound OSPCA manager. Pet Valu owner Jamie Dale said he opted to host the adopt-a-thon and donate funds to the shelter for each cat adopted, because it's a charity "near and dear to our hearts. We know it's a challenge for them, fundraising in general." Mr. Dale presented the shelter with a $60 cheque last week. Despite the record number of adoptions on June 30, the shelter currently has 85 cats in its care, some in foster homes, with 65 ready for adoption including 28 kittens. The shelter is built to house 40 cats. "It's always crazy this time of year," said Ms Lubbelinkhof. "Also, it's the busiest time for adoptions. So, it makes sense to hold the adopt-a-thon." During Wally's Week, July 18-25, six of the shelter's seven dogs were adopted. Ms Lubbelinkhof said normally two dogs a week get adopted from the shelter. "It does help us out," said Ms Lubbelinkhof. Author Marsha Boulton organized Wally's Week, named after her English bull terrier, at OSPCAs in Orillia, Muskoka, Barrie and the animal shelter in Huntsville. During the week, new owners received a gift bag filled with items such as treats and toys. There are currently three adult dogs at the OSPCA. A second Cat Adopt-a-thon at Pet Valu is booked for Saturday, August 25. Check it out... Awesome Deals!
