SPCA experiencing cat overload

Jan 8, 2016 | 5:30 AM

The Prince Albert SPCA is full of homeless furballs.

There are currently 74 cats at the Prince Albert SPCA, bringing them to around 20 cats over manageable capacity.

Due to the over abundant amount the shelter has had to turn many cats away this season.  While they aren’t able to take anymore felines, they do offer other alternatives and with support for people who bring in these furry friends.

“Currently we are not able to take new strays from the general public which causes us a lot of aggravation, as well as the people bring the cats in but we try and be very proactive with those folks and offer some support like food and kitty litter and maybe some alternative resources for fostering and that kind of thing,” said Prince Albert SPCA executive director Al Dyer.

The Prince Albert SPCA is a “no kill” shelter, meaning that animals are never euthanized unless medically necessary.

 “It’s a little bit of a two edged sword but what it means is we won’t unless it’s vet recommended or there is serious medical problems for which there’s no alternative. That’s the only case which we’ll euthanize an animal. Every other animal that comes in we do everything we possibly can to find them a good home,” said Dyer.

The cost for adoption of a neutered or spayed cat is $20, and the cost for one that is not is $170 with a reimbursement of $150 once there has been proof that the cat has been neutered or spayed.

All animals available for adoption can be seen on the Prince Albert SPCA’s website.
