P.E.I. Humane Society Takes in 30 Cats on May 19

The P.E.I. Humane Society received 30 cats on May 19. The animals were surrendered by their owners and include kittens and some pregnant cats. The intake adds strain during kitten season, which the shelter described as typically running from May to November. The society is organizing support and resources to ensure the animals receive medical assessment and care.

Earlier this year the shelter handled other sizable intakes.

Forty-three dogs were seized in early February, and 57 reptiles and exotic animals were seized a few weeks later. The shelter currently cares for 271 animals, with 107 housed in its building. Officials said the team is learning to mobilize faster when responding to these incidents.

Foster volunteers across the province are prepared to provide homes and medical support. The society communicates its needs through its website and social media. Food remains the top supply need. Officials said donations can be made on the website or by e-transfer, while anyone interested in adopting should wait for animals to be listed on the site.
