The FSPCA does interviews with all potential adopters to ensure that animals are matched with adopter personalities and lifestyles.

• In-home support when possible,
• nutrition counseling and
• numerous resources are also available such as behaviour modification techniques and answers to frequently asked questions.

For rabbits, the adoption fee includes the spay or neuter surgery.

If you are interested in adopting two cats or two kittens at the same time, we do have special rates available.

Please note that in some situations, animals are not ready to go home with their new adopter the day of adoption. If an animal has not been spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, they will remain at the FSPCA until the surgery has been completed (normally a few days) and then can go into their new home.

Do not hesitate to ask staff if you have any questions about adoption procedures.
