There are no costs.

No costs, simply surrender the animal. Very solid adoption policy as well, so you know the pet will be looked after.

Anyone want to adopt a cat?
From June 9th to 30th, Calgary Humane Society is waiving any fee for getting yourself a cute little guy. (or girl!) They even give you $487-$662 worth of "extras" to care for it, at no charge. This is the time to save a little furry friend's life.
Do it.

Pawsitive match (www.pawsitivematch.org) is having an adopt-a-thon this saturday June 12th at the St. Andrews Heights Community Hall - 2504-13Ave NW. Lots of awesome dogs to take home!

No, you know that your animal likely has about a week to live. Our kill rate is one of the lowest in NA but it's still super high. So sadOriginally posted by HondaKid

Even kittens don't get picked up sometimes.

Where did you get those numbers from? Do they apply to the Calgary HS? I know someone who works there and she never mentioned such large numbers, I know for a fact there are certain cats that have been there for months. I have seen them in person.Originally posted by bspot

If everyone adopted an animal, humans would be better people overall and this senseless killing would be a thing of the past. All assuming we have our animals fixed, no reason not too for 99% of all animal owners.

Bump for a great cause. I would really like to adopt another dog but my parents would kill me! For the people who don't have pets, I highly recommend getting one. If you're allergic, just get a hypoallergenic pet. They are worth it times a billion and you'll never regret it.

The kill numbers for dogs are basically zero. Just very high risk cases. Like If I can't get into their kennel, their anxiety level is so high that they aren't really living much of a life anyways. Last year I was more familiar with the numbers but it was like 5 or 6 dogs for the whole year (they don't tell volunteers every time but we are usually informed so we aren't too shocked).Originally posted by HondaKid

Cats are unfortunately a different story. There are some cases where a cat will last a few months, but the high number of cats turned in in addition to the high number of kittens makes for a bad situation. In a peak season like now they are over run with cats. They will start to put cats in the dog pods, but at some point they have to start thinning the numbers. It's very sad and the staff care a lot about them. Bab Barker or not, getting your cat fixed is the best thing anyone can do.

When I picked up my cat (no I'm not gay, just fruity enough to be a dude with a cat I guess) it was because someone at work had found him as a beat up stray in the NE.
He was a little guy because he was starving and not quite fully grown. I didn't want a cat at the time, but my coworker was super busted up that they were going to put him down at the end of the day because there was no room.
I phoned at 11:30am to see if anyone had taken him, but no one had, and they told me he was actually already sedated and about to be put down.
I'd never even seen the little guy, but I told her I'd take him. She put down the phone and started screaming "We saved him! We saved him!". I got really lucky and he turned out to be an awesome cat, super easy going. I have dogs over all the time, no problem at all. He can hang with other cats too.
It must be tough working there though always getting attached to the good ones and having to watch them get put down

^^ Good on you dude. That is the type of karma that follows you forever. To be honest, I never spend any time in the cat area. I would have trouble with it as you described. Many, many good cats are put down all the time.

it drive me crazy that every vet know how important it is to get cats spayed or neutered. yet it is still very expensive. I think i payed almost 200$ for my little dude and i wished i had another. i know vets do a lot of school time but they cost to much to have 2 or 3 cars needing their care.

Seriously, you've never had anyone rip on you for having a cat? Being a bachelor with a cat sometimes raises eyebrows in my experience, I don't care though he's fucking wicked.

I'm thinking of going down to the Calgary Humane Society soon to get a black kitten, what I've always wanted.......I just don't know if I can stand having a cat again and dealing with shit like chewing through my wires! My old cat used to do that and it drove me nuts, that and them waking me up in the middle of night by running around and dropping stuff. Also having my place smell like cat piss and shit all the time.
