PENDING: SPCA Valleyfield closing?

UPDATE Jan 20th: Hey all – we’ve been informed this situation may not necessarily be true. As a volunteer-based website, we do our best to bring you what we can, but can’t always verify information – even though we would hope our network of animal friends would convey legit info.   We’ll let you know the case ASAP. Thanks – N@

Please share this! This came to my inbox this morning:

The SPCA in Valleyfield just got word today that they need to close due to underfunding. This is a very critical situation. The city of Valleyfield has pulled thier funding and without another sponsor, the SPCA Valleyfield cannot continue to operate.

They currently have over 200 cats that are available for adoption or will be euthanized within a couple of months. In the meantime they need donations in order to keep these cats fed and the facility clean.

If you would like to donate please see the list below. You can drop off have it picked up.   Please contact: Jennrick@videotron.ca

If you have thought about adopting, now is the time!

Here are the directions
It is at 2555 boulevard Monseigneur-Langlois, Salaberry-de-Valleyfield. Phone# 450-377 2428
Basically take exit 14 off the 20. Go over the Valleyfield bridge and stay on the main road (Monseigneur Langlois). You drive for about 8 minutes (until you are back in the 70 km zone) and you pass the big Goodyear building on your right. The shelter is just after the rail road tracks. You pull a u-turn and pass by a Rona before you get to their building. See the website (under construction) www.spcavalleyfield.com for a picture of the building.
