Lakefield Animal Welfare Society Hosting Kitten Adopt-A-Thon

The Lakefield Animal Welfare Society is hosting an adopt-a-thon on Sunday, in hopes to find homes for the kittens currently in foster homes through the agency.

There will be approximately ten kittens of all different ages, genders and colours up for adoption on Sunday.

The kittens are currently living in foster homes, and will be ready to go home with a new family immediately after the event. It is suggested that those attending come with a cat carrier.

There is a $150 charge to adopt a kitten, but $50 of that will be returned after the kitten is spayed or neutered (they are currently too young to do so).

“Sometimes the kittens become available all at once, like this, and it’s easier to have all of the foster parents bring the kittens here all at once,” said Dee Hargreaves, staff at LAWS.

Hargreaves notes that during Sunday’s event only kittens will be available for adoption.

To book an appointment for viewings call 705-652-0588.

Two Young Boys Donated Their Chore Money To Riverview Park & Zoo

This summer two young boys (Nathan and Andrew) came to the Riverview Park and Zoo and donated their allowance to the zoo—along with this nice note and picture below.

And there is more. Zoo Manager and Curator Jim Moloney tells PTBOCanada: "Just last week, Nathan had a birthday party and instead of getting presents, he raised money to adopt one of our animals (a Brazilian Agouti). These are some pretty special boys!" Indeed.
