Spring has sprung, which means more kittens being taken in by the shelter. There's already too many animals needing homes. If you have a place in your own home for one more, take a look at this week's bounty:

---

Cookie is a playful ten-month-old. When I threw a ball through the crinkle sack, she loved diving in after it. ADOPTED

---

Rats, Bert and Ernie, are just three months old. They're curious little guys, and are only $10.00 each. ADOPTED

---

Maple

Maple is an 8 1/2 year old female boxer, active and in good health. She's friendly and enjoys meeting new friends. ADOPTED


Belle

Four-year-old Belle is sweet, but a bit shy. She's a shepherd/border Collie/Lab mix who has been with Maple (above) her whole life. Belle would like to be adopted with her best friend, so it would be wonderful if the two of them could share your home. 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.

Take Me Home: February 7, 2009

During December, almost $10,000 was raised by the York Region OSPCA's Tree of Hope, held at Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket. Because they don't receive any government funding, the centre relies on the success of campaigns such as this, and the continued donations from the public and corporate world.

Now, let's take a look at the cute and cuddly side of the business. Remember to click on the photo to enlarge:

---

The words "snuggle puss" were created to describe these two six-month-old brothers. Ryan (black) and Horatio (tabby) will love to bury their noses into your neck, all the while purring madly. They are delightful. ADOPTED

---

I don't know much about rats, but can tell you that Quinn is young and quite energetic. ADOPTED

---

Just one year old, Taz was a stray who is now looking for a family that will provide lots of love and play. As with all strays, you must be extra diligent about not letting them outside. ADOPTED
