Thanks to your support of the “Fancy
Felines” program, two more of our longest term residents from the Cat Adoption Floor are now being offered at a special reduced adoption
rate:
This 2 year-old orange and white tabby was in pretty bad shape
when she was found on the side of the road by a Good Samaritan in March, after having been hit by a car. Following surgery and some time to
recuperate, this shy but affectionate girl has turned into a Shelter favourite who loves to cuddle up in her “security box”.
This seven-month old stray also survived being hit by a car in March. She is now fully recovered from injuries which included a fractured pelvis
and dislocated hip. This easygoing cuddler is more than ready to head to loving new home.
Thanks to special financial support provided to the P.E.I. Humane
Society, HEATHER and BECKY will be adopted at the Fancy Feline Rate of just
$95 each.

“Can” You Help?
The P.E.I. Humane Society is very fortunate to
receive all of its dry cat and dog food 100% free of charge from pet food manufacturer
Royal Canin. This is a huge boost to the Shelter and allows
us to provide a consistent and top-quality product to the animals in our care.
Sometimes we have to supplement the dry-food regime with canned pet food – particularly when
we are administering medications or encouraging shy or frightened animals to eat.
Right now our supplies of both canned dog food and canned cat food are running very low.
Favourites include any brand of “cuts and gravy” or chunky-style food, particularly in single serving, “pop-top” cans.
Your donation of canned pet food would be welcome and can be dropped off at the Society at
309 Sherwood Road in Charlottetown anytime during regular Shelter hours.
Thank you on behalf of all of the homeless animals in our care. The P.E.I. Humane Society is
a registered, non-profit organization which receives no operational funding from any level of government.
