Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, but not every relationship has a storybook ending.

The Humboldt & District SPCA is putting out a call for all scorned and jilted lovers as part of a lighthearted fundraiser that will help keep animal populations under control while also providing some catharsis to those who have left bad relationships.

“Because some things just shouldn’t breed,” the SPCA said in a social media post, adding a winking face for good measure.

“This is just a fun, lighthearted way to sponsor a neuter or spay for our loving cats.”

The organization said it had seen the idea used by a few other rescue organizations, and wanted to join in on the fun as well.
