\"maya_IMG_0252\"<\/a>Montreal, May 4th<\/sup> 2015 \u2013<\/b> On February 3rd<\/sup>, the Montreal SPCA seized nearly 40 cats and 60 dogs from a breeding facility located on Montreal\u2019s south shore under the Animal Health Protection Act<\/em>. These animals, most of whom were housed in cages, were living in unsanitary and unsafe conditions. Last Thursday, a judge ordered that ownership of all the animals from this seizure be transferred to the Montreal SPCA, and they are now available for adoption.<\/p>\n

The cats (primarily Cornish Rexes) and dogs (mainly small breeds), have been under the care of the Montreal SPCA for the past three months. \u201cWe are so pleased, and relieved, that these animals will be able to find new loving homes and that they will never again be victims of neglect\u201d said Sophie Gaillard, Lawyer and campaigns manager for the Montreal SPCA\u2019s Animal Advocacy Department. \u201cEvery animal will be sterilized and microchipped, in addition to having received the proper medical care prior to adoption\u201d.<\/p>\n

The breeder, Ms. Chantal St-Laurent faces approximately twenty charges under the Animal Health Protection Act.<\/i><\/p>\n

The cats and dogs from the seizure are currently available for adoption. Families interested in adopting are invited to contact us by email:<\/p>\n
