Can You Help?

About once a year we hit rock bottom for cat food and this is it! We really, really need the public's help with the donation of plain dry cat and kitten food. We've got lots of dog food, so they're all doing fine. But the cats really need plain dry food that's easy to digest and doesn't have a lot of colours or flavours added to it. The plainer the better for our little guys. If you're out shopping, please consider adding a small bag of plain cat or kitten food to your shopping cart for us. If you put it on a separate sales receipt, bring it along to the Animal Shelter and we can issue a tax receipt for your purchase.

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.
