For a limited time, the BC SPCA is allowing potential pet owners to adopt cats and rabbits from their local shelter, including the West Vancouver branch, for half of the usual adoption fee.
The Half Price Love cat adoption event runs July 14 to 20 province-wide (with the exception of the Kelowna branch, which runs July 2 to 20).
"During this time of year, we always see an influx of animals at all of our branches throughout the province," said BC SPCA spokesperson Lorie Chortyk, in a press release. "We want to end the wait for the many animals in our shelters who are looking for loving homes by offering a reduced adoption fee. We're hoping it will encourage people who have been considering adopting a pet to visit their local SPCA and take home a new, furry friend."
Currently, there are 1,684 cats and kittens in BC SPCA care across the province - 766 cats and 918 kittens. The BC SPCA is also caring for 118 rabbits in shelters throughout B.C., with 50 per cent of them coming into care as a result of cruelty investigations.
