GUELPH, ON (January 27, 2020) – Last week, the Guelph Humane Society (GHS) stepped up and saved the lives of a total of 105 cats when the owner surrendered them into GHS’s care. The cats were all removed from one home with the majority of the cats rescued on Wednesday, January 22 and final cats arriving on Friday end of day. It was all-hands-on-deck at the humane society to ensure ALL of the cats’ were rescued and received immediate care.

GUELPH, ON (January 24, 2020) – The Guelph Humane Society was notified of an owner surrendering 97 cats, all from one home this past week.

GHS stepped up and made the decision to help these cats by taking them into their care. GHS have assessed the cats’ basic medical needs. They have provided basic medical care of vaccines, microchipping and parasite control. They will have a better idea of the costs for additional and specialized care next week. Surprisingly, most of the cats appear to be in fair condition, considering the of number of cats that were living together. However, several cats have eye issues and others with additional medical conditions are being monitored closely by our team.
