Two brothers find “purr-fect” home

When pets come into our shelter from the same home, we do our very best here at the Ontario SPCA Orillia Branch to ensure they are able to stay together.

In the case of two adorable felines, “Phaddy” and “Min Min”, we hoped a future home would become available where they would be welcomed as a pair.

Luckily, a wonderful family fell in love with the two of them and they were adopted out together. 

The staff were thrilled for these two bonded brothers, and the storybook ending for this happy “tail”!

Co-op student makes a big difference

This month we would like to spotlight co-op student Lindsey Abbott for her excellent work here at the Ontario SPCA Orillia Branch.

Lindsey joined us as part of her high school curriculum, and enjoyed her time with us so much that she decided to continue volunteering at our branch for the entire summer!

Considering how busy the summer months can be, we appreciated Lindsey’s hard work and dedication.

Thank you so much Lindsey from all of us, two and four legged!

View all volunteer opportunities.

We’d like to thank Duck Soup Productions, a local theatre company who generously collected donations for our shelter during their performances of the popular musical “CATS”.

In the first four shows alone, they were able to generate more than $400!

Everyone here at the Ontario SPCA Orillia Branch appreciates their wonderful contributions for our Friends for Life! Walk™. 

They get a standing ovation from us for their awesome efforts!

Tips for Student Volunteers

The fall is a great time to volunteer, whether it’s for community hours or for job experience.

The Ontario SPCA receives hundreds of student volunteer applications every year; therefore it’s important that your application stands out.

If you are a high school student looking for a position within the Ontario SPCA, there are things you can do!

The most important tip is to complete every section of the online application form.

Apply early! If you need hours for the coming year, don’t wait until the end of the first semester to apply. 

Positions are limited and the volunteer recruitment process can take a month or more to complete.
