“Kate” Wants some Cuddles
We want to highlight a very special cat this month! “Kate” is a 1-year-old feline and would make a wonderful companion. She is independent, but she also loves affection. Kate is extremely playful and she loves to stick out her tongue! She would fit in well in a home with children and other animals.
Try the Meet Your Match® survey to see if you will match her personality, or visit her here at the Ontario SPCA Huron County Animal Centre!

Lift Huron Donates $500
This kind of story really “lifts” our spirits! We are so grateful for the support of Lift Huron, a local non-profit Olympic Weightlifting club for teens that hosts fundraising events and donates portions of their club memberships to a savings fund in support of local charities and organizations.
The Ontario SPCA Huron County Animal Centre wants to thank Lift Huron for their generous donation! |
Reunited after an Incredible Three Years Apart
In an unbelievable tale, a cat came into the Ontario SPCA Huron County Animal Centre as a stray, and during her intake exam, we found a microchip which enabled us to look up her registered information.
It turns out she had been missing from her family for a staggering three years, and when we contacted them they were ecstatic to learn their long-lost pet would be reunited with them safe and sound!
It's thanks to microchips that happy reunions like this one are possible! |
