The Langley Animal Protection Society held its second kitten and pregnant cat round up, which was designed to help curb the number of abandoned and feral cats in the community.
The event allowed people to bring in pregnant cats and kittens to the organization’s shelter, which is located at 26220 56 Avenue. They could be dropped off with no questions asked about why they were being left. The animals would then be registered by volunteers, given a medical check to determine their state of health, and they will be spayed or neutered and potentially adopted into a new and loving family.
The roundup was paid for through the $20,000 that had been raised for the day. Some of this money will also be used to help provide supplies and other necessities for the foster homes where the cats will live until they find permanent homes. A poster printing company can create promotional materials that can help to make an event like this even more of a success.
According to the organization’s executive director, Sean Baker, the event was a response to the high number of adult cats and kittens that are being abandoned in the community. He feels it is a reflection of the way some people view these pets as being disposable, and explained that this needs to change.
Baker asked people to make sure their pets are spayed or neutered, and recommended that they be kept inside where they will be safe.
