Take Me Home: October 16, 2009

Sorry for delay in posting -- it's been a busy month. The York Region OSPCA is implementing "Meet Your Match", a program that matches people with the cat(s) that best reflect what they're looking for. The program will soon include dogs. How does it work? All cats, over nine months of age, are assessed and assigned a colour-coded personality type. After filling out a short questionnaire, adopters are given a card that directs them to the cat(s) who will best suit what they desire in a pet. Of course, they are free to choose any cat -- even if their colours don't match.

Why not visit Mohill, fill out a questionnaire, and meet some of the cats who will fit your lifestyle and family? It's easy, and it works. Here are just a few of the animals you might see when you drop in:

---

Blue and yellow, Skyy, is a curious, two year old, male budgie. ADOPTED

---

Gorgeous Freya is five years old, and needs a family who is willing to give her lots of love and socializing. Actually, it's important that all birds be given a lot of attention. ADOPTED

---

The most important thing to three and half-year-old sisters, Sugar and Cinnabun, are that they be adopted together. ADOPTED

---

The centre (Mohill) is located at 16586 Woodbine Avenue, just south of Mulock/Vivian Sideroad. Their adoption hours are:

Monday to Wednesday & Saturday:
12 - 6 p.m.
Thursday & Friday: 12 - 7 p.m.
Sunday: 12 - 5 p.m.

For more information on these and the many other pets available, go to the OSPCA York Region Website.

If you're considering adopting a dog, please check out this wonderful blog post by Karen Shanley. She lists five important things you should know in order to get off to a great start with your new family member.

Speaking of dogs ... and cats and birds (you can click on the photos to enlarge).

Budgies, Sunshine (yellow male) and Cloud (blue female), are two-years-old and come as a package deal at $40. They will need a home with someone who has the time to care for and socialize with them. ADOPTED

---

Sunrise, a stray, is a Terrier mix. At this time, her age is uncertain, but when she is spayed, the vet will have a better idea of how old she is. Sunrise is a sweet girl who would prefer an active family. In the picture, she's looking at the door -- I think she's waiting for you to come visit. ADOPTED

Morris is just under a year old and is looking for a loving and dependable family. He was brought in by the Investigation Department because his previous owner could not care for him. On the day this photo was taken, he was luxuriating in the sunshine. ADOPTED
