June is Adopt-a-Cat Month

The Lloydminster & District SPCA has plenty of cats and kittens waiting for new homes. June is the perfect time to promote cat adoptions because the spring and summer months typically bring a surge of cats to our shelter.

When cats are not spayed or neutered, they reproduce easily and often. Spring and summer are the seasons when cats are most active, resulting in more kittens and pregnant moms showing up at the shelter. We encourage people to visit and meet all the great cats we have available for adoption. They are all looking for loving, permanent homes. There are many colors, ages, and personalities to choice from. All cats at the shelter have up-to-date vaccines, and many have already been spayed or neutered. Please remember that if you choose to adopt a pet that is not altered, this surgery is one of the requirements of our shelter.

Those interested in adopting a cat (or other pet) can visit the Lloydminster & District SPCA during operating hours. During Adopt-A-Cat Month, there are also some events featuring live adoptions. Check out the Vermilion Father’s Day Adoption on June 20 at Paw Prints Pet Shop in the Lakeland Mall. Or swing by the Royal Bank during their customer appreciation days on June 24-26. You may meet the next member of your family!
