As each summer arrives, we all need a reminder about safety hazards to our pets. Whether it's pets in parked cars or slug bait in your yard, a little prevention goes a long way to preventing a disaster.

Can You Help?

We are in urgent need of your financial support and donations of plain clay (non-clumping) cat litter, plain dry cat and kitten food and plain dry dog food to help us care for the abandoned, homeless and forgotten animals of Chatham-Kent.

Our pre-adoption forms are now on-line!

 

Philosophy & Mandate

The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animal's primary purpose is to promote the prevention of cruelty to animals. It is committed to putting an end to animal suffering. The Society starts from the principle that no one has the right to cause physical or mental pain or suffering to any animal.

This basic philosophy works within the law and in cooperation with other organizations, government, research and industry representatives and the public, in order to improve conditions for animals while maintaining a balanced sensitivity toward both animal and human needs.

We Need Your Help!
With the large number of kittens we’ve been taking in lately, we running desperately low on kitten food and cat litter. We use plain, dry kitten food without any added flavours or colours. We only use plain clay cat litter – the non-clumping type as everyone gets a completely clean and disinfected litter box to start the day.
