With temperatures dipping the B.C. SPCA is encouraging animal lovers to consider welcoming a feline into the family.
From Nov. 24 to Dec. 5, the SPCA is offering a 50 per cent discount on all cat adoptions.
Adoption fees include vaccinations, spaying or neutering, permanent ID, and medical care – which includes parasite treatment.
“When one cat is adopted, it frees up shelter space and allows us to bring another cat in from the cold,” stated BC SPCA community relations manager Lorie Chortyk in a release. “There’s more than 1,600 felines in care who need loving, forever homes.”
Stray cats frequently suffer predator attacks and frostbite, according to the release.
At press time, there were nine animals up for adoption at the District of North Vancouver’s animal welfare shelter. Including a long-haired cat named Freya, Squeek the parakeet, and a German Shepherd named Sean.

Stray animals that go unclaimed in the City of North Vancouver for more than four days are put up for adoption through Northwest Kennels, located near Capilano University on Monashee Drive.
PetSmart is holding an adoption event Nov. 11-13 to encourage families to adopt a pet before the Christmas holidays.
