THE OAKVILLE BEAVER jQmQoCh Focus k OFFICIAL MEDIA SPONSOR OF THE OAKVILLE WATERFRONT FESTIVAL OaJwtil* Watirfrwvt By Wilma Blokhuis BEAVER FOCUS EDITOR Imagine housing, and feeding, 221 cats when you only Slave room for 168. That’s the dilemma currently tfacing the Oakville & District Humane Society, as an increasing number of cats brought in for adoption, or abandoned, are filling every spare comer at the its shelter at 445 Cornwall Rd. In addition to the 221 cats at ithe animal shelter, the society thas placed three at a pet store, :has five at veterinarians, and lanother 40 in foster care. “We’re overflowing with rcats,” says general manager Johanne Golder, who has three :cats roaming about her office. “We’re at a crisis with cats and at capacity with dogs.” The shelter is, as of Monday, ihousing 37 dogs with other three in foster care; 12 rabbits, three iguinea pigs, about a dozen wildlife, plus a rat and ferret. ‘This overcrowding has been ibuilding up,” continues Golder. “It’s traditionally a busy time for us at this time of year, as people go on vacation or move, and surrender their cats. “And, we have so many kittens because people are not getting their cats neutered or spayed. People are letting their -cats out and they keep having PJbabies." The Oakville & District Humane Society is appealing to ithe public for financial support to help feed the animals, or to icome in and adopt. “We keep the animals until You have until July 31 to get all this for $199.* FOURTH LINE AUTO For All Your Car’s Needs Drive Clean Emission Testing Government Safety Inspection Tune-Ups • Brakes • Exhaust • Cooling Systems Plus, FREE installation. they’re adopted,” emphasizes Golder, adding Bandit, a 10-year-old cat who was adopted in mid-June, had been in the shelter for 18 months. “Killing animals to make room is not what we’re about.” The $90 fee to adopt a cat include microchip identification, flea bath, up-to-date vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and de-worming. “If the cat is under six months old, the spaying or neutering will be done by one of our participating vets,” said Golder, adding the cost is included in the adoption fee. The shelter is open Tuesday to Friday, 2 to 8 p.m.; Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Sunday noon to 4 p.m., and closed on Monday. Call 845-1551. Johanne Golder, left and right, general manager of the Oakville & District Humane Society is finding it impossible to move in the shelter without bumping into cages piled upon cages filled with cats. The top photo was taken looking through one of four cages piled on top of each other. This playful kitten and all of his brothers and sisters are just part of the result of not spaying or neutering outdoor cats. At left, Johanne Golder has cats in her office. And if that’s not enough, she has a cat Beanie Baby on her computer. Photos by Christine Smyth 559 Speers Road 842-3001
