Thank you Team Scotia Bank!

On April 28, The Bracebridge Scotia Bank Team went to work for the animals at the Ontario SPCA Muskoka Animal Centre by holding a Celebrity Server night sponsored and hosted by Boston Pizza.

The team managed to raise $691.90 and Scotia Bank generously matched that amount, which brought the total to $1,383.80!

Not only are third-party events such as this a fantastic way for local businesses to support their community animal shelter, they are also great team building initiatives and community outreach.

For more information on hosting a third-party event please contact :Jane McCamus at jmccamus@ospca.on.ca or by telephone at 705-645-6225.

iAdopt Urgent Appeal a Great Success

Ontario SPCA branches across the province recently experienced a high influx of adult cats in their care so we created an iAdopt Urgent Appeal campaign, asking people to consider adopting an adult cat from their local branch.

From June 20 - July 6, 2014, adult cat adoption fees were reduced to only $50.

We are happy to report that in just over two weeks, 224 adult cats were adopted from our branches, and are now enjoying thier forever homes. Thank you to all those who took part!
