On June 13, 14 & 15 the local comedy troupe ‘A Bag of Mixed Nuts’ held a benefit for the SPCA and raised $1817.70 for the shelter. The show was terrific and we had a great time, this group is really funny and a real pleasure to watch.

Here is Zambuka resting on the sofa after being spayed. Just a small cut on her belly and she is good to go…

… Spaying and neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives.
… Spaying and neutering can eliminate or reduce the incidence of a number of health problems that can be very difficult or expensive to treat.
… Spaying eliminates the possibility of uterine or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the incidence of breast cancer, particularly when your pet is spayed before her first estrous cycle.
… Neutering eliminates testicular cancer and decreases the incidence of prostate disease.

A big Thank You to the students of Sacred Heart Academy and Mr. Norm Farrell’s Grade 5 class who visited the shelter on June 13/08.They presented a cheque to the Burin SPCA for $ 400.00, the money was raised by the students for bringing in a picture of their pets and a $1.00 each.

Cuddles is indeed cute and looking for a furever home, however, we are filled with applications for her adoption and we cannot take anymore. She is going to be adopted shortly… Thanks for inquiring

Our beautiful Penny is a real survivor she came to the shelter with a nasty, infected bite and after treatment we are happy to say that she is doing so well and she’s such a sweetheart. Penny is a female, long haired cat and is between 1-2 years old. This girl is a real lady, she is so quiet, she never makes any fuss at all. Penny loves to be petted, brushed and just generally cuddled. Her quiet and calm nature has really won her a special place in our hearts. Because she had been bitten by a dog, Penny is now afraid of them and will not be allowed to go to a home with dogs, but she gets along fine with her roommies. Penny is a great girl, she survived because she wanted to live and find a home that will be hers forever.

THANK YOU RUFF SPOTS!!

Ruff Spots continues their great work, they have helped us get Penny spayed!!

Mrs. Woodman’s gr5 class at Jamison Acadamy have been donating thier change from recess and lunch money and had already donated over 100 dollars to the shelter. Thier latest fund raising effort was a gift basket. A basket of toys and school supplies were collected and put on tickets for 25 cents each. The class raised $165.00. We decided it would be nice if we used this money to sponor a SPCA animal. We chose Hunter, he was neutered on May 23. Hunter is a very friendly cat that has been at the shelter since he was a kitten. Having him neutered will increase his chances for adoption.
We will be sending along updates to the kids along with a picture to put up in thier classroom.
Thanks from Hunter and all other SPCA animals.

This stunning long haired cat was left on our shelter doorstep in a box. Right now we don’t know if she was picked up as a stray or was abandoned. We’ve decided to call her Zebra. Zebra is just beautiful, her coat is long and very thick and fluffy and she has those wonderful green eyes. Zebra’s coat is very clean and it looks as if she has been well taken care of. It’s our hope that she became lost from her family and if so we would like to be able to re-unite them. If you have any information about Zebra please contact the shelter at 891-8000

My Boss
I must bring my boss food
He turns he’s head if it isn’t good
water must constantly be available
and meals are always on a timetable

For this I do not get paid
my next sentence is “nuff said”
My boss if you haven’t guessed yet
is my wonderful wonderful
pet
