 Tic
 
Introducing "Tic"

"Tic" is a sweet one-year-old tortishell cat that was surrendered to the Ontario SPCA Muskoka Animal Centre by her owner who was unable to care for her any longer. 

Tic is a friendly, active and affectionate cat who enjoys the company of other felines. Her adaptable nature leads us to believe she would also get along well with dogs and be a great companion for children.

She has been spayed, microchipped and had her first set of inoculations. Also included in her adoption package is six weeks of complimentary health insurance!

If you think Tic is a perfect match for your family, please contact the shelter at 705-645-6225 or view other adoptable animals like Tic.



 
 Cupcake Kick-off
 

Cupcake Kick-Off

The Ontario SPCA Muskoka Animal Centre held our National Cupcake Day™ kick off on Saturday, January 31st here at the shelter. The staff had a blast with our junior animal advocates who were busy decorating cupcakes, coloring and working on fun crafts. Of course we had an array of home-baked and beautifully decorated cupcakes available for our guests to take home for a donation. 

We would like to thank everyone who contributed to this event either by attending, baking cupcakes or volunteering. 

You can show your support by registering for National Cupcake Day today!

 
 Athena
 
"Athena’s" New Beginning!

"Athena" is a lovely one-year-old calico cat who arrived at the Ontario SPCA Muskoka Animal Centre in early January. She was found wandering about in Huntsville with a badly injured back right leg. Athena was immediately transported to the veterinary clinic for an examination and radiographs determined that she was suffering from a fractured femoral head, the highest part of the thighbone that attaches the bone to the hip socket, likely due to being hit by a car. The veterinarian recommended surgery to help eliminate the pain.

We are happy to report that Athena’s surgery was a huge success and she is now recovering with one of our loving foster care providers. 

We are so grateful for everyone's support. It's thanks to your generosity that animals like Athena receive the medical care they need and deserve!

Donate today to help animals like Athena!

Keep Your Dog Active This Winter

While winter dog walking can sometimes be a challenge, it’s important to meet your dog’s exercise needs all year round. Not only will this keep your dog physically active during the winter months, it’ll also provide much needed mental stimulation for your dog.  

The cold weather might mean shorter walks, but there are still ways to get that physical activity in.  Read the Ontario SPCA’s blog post Tips for a Safe Dog Walk This Winter for useful information. 

Dogs love walks no matter what the season brings.  Just remember, if it’s too cold for you outside …it’s too cold for your pets.

Sharing the Love This Winter

Ontario SPCA staff would like to thank all of our volunteers for their support over the winter!  Cold weather hasn't stopped them.

•  Volunteers braved the cold temperatures and provided over 300 dog walks last month to ensure all the animals were getting the exercise they needed.   

•  Volunteers are also set to build 20 feral cat shelters to provide warmth for homeless cats in various communities.
  
•  Our transportation volunteers even tackled the icy roads to safely transport our animals to various medical appointments.  

Volunteers are vital to our organization and without your warm hearts we couldn’t care for all those cold noses.  If you would like to get involved and join our volunteer team, visit ontariospca.ca and complete our online application form.
