Adoption Fair For Abandoned Cats


An animal rescue group will hold an adoption fair for some cats left abandoned at a house just outside Lockeport in February. Out of the thirty cats rescued by Pet Projects, only seven have been adopted, leaving twenty-three looking for a permanent home. Vice-president Shelley Leblanc says the cats are healthy and hopes an adoption fair at the Shelburne Fire Hall next Saturday will help.

"We will have the more adoptable cats, the ones that are ready to go, we'll move them up to the fire hall so people can come in, take a look at them, and if they want to adopt them, they can fill out an adoption form, and we can get that process, hopefully we can find a home for a lot of these kitties."

When the animals were found they were suffering from frostbite, infection and were malnourished, while some of the cats required surgery to be nursed back to health. Leblanc says there have been no more felines dumped at the abandoned house in Shelburne County. Donations and adoptions can be made at www.petprojects.ca.
