Kitties Looking to Furnish Cat Condos While Waiting for Forever Homes

All our kitties have been good this year and have created a holiday wish list to help furnish their cat condos while they wait for their forever homes.

One of their favorite things to do is perch on these wonderful Kuranda beds and are hoping to get eight of them so each cat condo can have one for them to relax on. Please help fulfill their wish list by visiting kuranda.com and choose to support the Ontario SPCA Orillia Animal Centre. 

Staying Warm and Safe in the Cold Months Ahead

It’s inevitable. We live in Canada which means cold winter months are in the forecast. Whether you are planning to hibernate or excited to pull out the toque and gloves and bring your pet out for some cold weather fun, safety should always come first.

Enjoy a nice winter season with some cold weather safety tips.

A Man’s Best Friend

They say a dog is a man’s best friend. But for “Bailey”, who was adopted a few months ago, it’s more like best man!

This lucky lad looked absolutely please to be part of the wedding party at new mom and dad’s wedding. Judging by the picture they sent in, we think he was quite excited about the big day.

For a Great Paws Gala a Success Thanks to Volunteers

Thank you to everyone who recently came out to the “For a Great Paws Gala” and supported the animals in the community. It was an evening of fun and could not have been made possible without our many dedicated volunteers.  

Katie and Tyler were just two of the gems helping out by running the Digging for Gold game.
