The Guelph Humane Society (GHS) has issued a plea for support from the public. The society recently accepted the surrender of 64 animals, including 36 cats and weaned kittens, three nursing cats with 15 kittens and 10 puppies.
The society says each animal will receive veterinary care, including spay or neuter and any other medical care necessary to ensure the well-being of the animals. Many of the animals to date have also required treatment of upper respiratory infection and infected wounds. Community members can make donations by calling the Humane Society at 519-824-3091, visiting the facility at 500 Wellington Street West or clicking on the website www.guelph-humane.on.ca. Citizens may also consider becoming a foster home to kittens and nursing cats or dogs. Once the animals receive all the necessary medical care and are old enough, they will be made available for adoption. The society is urging people to consider providing a forever home to one of these animals. To view animals currently available for adoption, visit http://www.guelph-humane.on.ca/adoption_gallery.php.
