Affectionate and fun-loving cats find forever home

Two plucky little black kittens named “Nyx” and “Vesper” were recently adopted from the Ontario SPCA Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Branch.

We were contacted by a family that was specifically looking for black cats to foster, knowing that they can often be difficult to adopt out due to their common colour.

It began as a foster situation, but it was love at first sight. Before we knew it, first Vesper and then her brother Nyx were scooped up by the same family who were excited to welcome them into their home.

“It's incredible how quickly they're growing. Already, we can't imagine our lives without them. Thank you!”

Best wishes to both cats in their new home.

Three cheers for our volunteers!

This month, we would like to spotlight Shawna, Karen and Nolan who volunteer here at the Ontario SPCA Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Branch.

As a part of the local Kinsmen Community Residence, all three of these awesome volunteers help socialize the cats and kittens in addition to helping with various household duties.

We couldn’t do what we do without the help of volunteers like Karen, Nolan and Shawna. Thanks guys for your hard work and dedication. The staff and animals here in the shelter are grateful for your efforts!

Did you know that animals come into our shelter every week needing emergency medical attention, nutritious food and a safe, dry place to rest?

These homeless pets are given veterinary care and a temporary place to call home until we can find them a forever family.

It is thanks to donors and supporters like you that we can continue to provide the best care possible. Every time you offer your support, it means the world to the animals here at the Ontario SPCA Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Branch. 

Thank you to all of our donors and supporters!

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.

Volunteer positions can pop up at anytime, so check the website regularly so you don’t miss out!
