Our special adoption programs
The Grey Muzzle Mission for senior pets
Would you like to provide a home for an older pet? Look for the mention “Grey Muzzle Mission” on the photos of our animals for adoption.
The Grey Muzzle Mission is entirely funded by donations from the public, which allow our shelter to:
- Defray the high medical costs often required for older animals.
- Offer reduced adoption fee for animals of all species aged 7 and over.
Adopting a senior animal means offering them a quality of life and the support they deserve for their golden years. It’s a priceless gift, thank you for considering it!
Compassionate Adoption Program
For example, they might need medication or regular check-ups with a veterinarian. A health condition could affect their life expectancy.
Families looking for a more committed adoption can take charge of one of these animals. To help them support their new companion, adoption fees are reduced.
The Compassionate Adoption Program is entirely funded by donations from the public, which allow our shelter to:
- Defray the high medical costs often required for these animals.
- Offer reduced adoption fee for animals of all species with special needs.
Wild Whiskers: cats looking for a farmhouse
Cats from the Wild Whiskers program are not sociable enough for traditional adoption, but they too deserve a good life that’s safe and adapted to their needs.
They often prefer to keep their distances from humans, are used to living outdoors, and are more comfortable in the company of other animals.
Our Wild Whiskers are sterilized, healthy and have received basic vaccines and dewormers. There are no adoption fee, a voluntary donation is at your discretion.
The requirements to adopt a cat from the Wild Whiskers program are as follows:
- A safe and heated barn, stable or farmhouse
- A closed space to allow the cat to acclimate to his new surroundings during the first few days
- Daily access to dry food and fresh water
If you have the facilities to accommodate a cat from the Wild Whiskers program and wish to offer a second chance to an outdoor cat, email our team at: info@spcaroussillon.com
Northern Paw Program: help a dog from the North get to adoption
Often times, dogs from the North of the country have been accustomed to a life of wandering or have not had access to all the veterinary care that our domestic dogs can receive here.
Northern Paw exists to allocate resources to the transport, reception and care of dogs from the North of the country in order to lead them to adoption at our shelter.
Our goal is to ensure that our Nordic dogs receive all the care they deserve, after which they will become part of a family that will look out for them forever. Check out the profile of our dogs, and keep an eye out for those identified with the Northern Paw logo.
The adoption fees and your donations represent the only funding for the Northern Paw program, we thank you for your support.
*Given the great need for funding, adoption at reduced fee (Grey Muzzle, Compassionate) is not offered for dogs in the Northern Paw program.
CATS for ADOPTION
There is nothing like a visit in our adoption catteries to let our adult cats introduce themselves! You can check out the profile of some of our available cats below, but keep in mind that we have several more at the shelter.
Our adoption team assesses adoption forms and contacts the families selected to make an appointment.
Due to the large amount of inquiries we receive:
We will only answer requests that have good potential to match the needs of our animals.
Requests will be answered based on the order of receipt and the quality of the answers.
Requests are valid for 1 month.
