Streets of PG Are Seeing More Of Our Feline Friends

The overpopulation of cats in Prince George is continuing to be a challenge for the SPCA.

The organization has been doing their best to go around and wrangle the animal up to spay and neuter them and return them to their rightful owners.

“There’s a variety of reasons for this.” Says Outreach Manager for SPCA Amy Morris. “Sometimes they’re abandoned by owners, sometimes they’ve been on the streets for a while and have kittens, and those kittens are trapped and brought into the shelter. And in some cases someone is unable to find pet friendly housing, so they bring them into the shelter as well.”

She says the SPCA is doing their best, but it take more than just one organization.

“It’s only as successful as the staff we have. We really need the support of the public to also take the time to trap cats and bring them in. We have a spay and neuter clinic in Prince George that everyone who has a feral cat on their property is welcomed to bring that cat in to get a surgery.”

The PG shelter does get overwhelmed with cats and they have to look to other, less populated, regions to try and transfer them.

Morris wanted to add everyone should follow what Bob Barker has said, by spay and neutering your pets, and doing that will make a huge difference.
