The main goal of this event is to facilitate the adoption of at least 100 cats throughout these five days.<\/p>\n<p>During moving day season, the number of animals coming into Montreal\u2019s SPCA almost triples, jumping from about 600 to 1,600 per month. This year is no exception and we had a particularly high number of cats during the month of June. That\u2019s why we are organizing &#8220;Operation adoption&#8221;, in order to find a home for each of them. In addition, the City of Montreal will offer a complimentary $50 discount to each person who adopts a cat or kitten at Montreal\u2019s SPCA during this period &#8211; July 3 to 7, 2013.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMontreal\u2019s SPCA is delighted to partner with the City of Montreal in \u201cOperation Adoption\u201d and we hope that it will result in finding forever loving homes for all these cats.\u00a0As Canada\u2019s oldest humane organization, Montreal\u2019s SPCA recognizes the tremendous value of working within a network of cities, boroughs and grass-roots animal rescue organizations to end the tragic overpopulation of dogs and cats on the island.\u00a0 Every day, our staff care for hundreds of beautiful dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals.\u00a0We will work tirelessly to implement programs aimed at ending overpopulation and cruelty, strengthening animal protection laws, and fostering the spirit of compassion for all living beings,\u201d said Nicholas Gilman, Executive Director of the Montreal SPCA.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe City of Montr\u00e9al is pleased to accompany the SPCA this year in its \u2018\u2019Operation Adoption\u2019\u2019. Citizens have a major responsibility in terms of taking care of their pets. Since we are entering the annual movig day period I would like to take this opportunity to remind Montrealers to look after their domestic animals. If however for whatever reason citizens decide to no longer keep their animals they should remember that there are plenty of solutions available. At the same time, as part of this campaign I invite Montrealers to adopt domestic animals at local shelters,\u201d said Mr. Christian G. Dubois, member of the executive committee responsible for services to citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOperation adoption\u201d welcomes you to visit Montreal\u2019s SPCA (located at 5215, rue Jean-Talon West, in Montreal) and the SPCA Annexe (located at 7314 Mountain Sights, one block south of the SPCA). The opening hours of the adoption clinic during these five days are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wednesday to Friday (July 3-5): from noon to 8:00 pm.<\/li>\n<li>Saturday and Sunday (July 6-7): from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The SPCA adoption counsellors will be happy to help you find the right companion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\">Montreal\u2019s SPCA also wants to promote the importance of adopting an animal from a shelter rather than buying one from a pet store or online. Adopting from animal shelters gives a second chance and a home to healthy animal, while saving lives.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">&#8211; 30 &#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Media Contact: Alanna Devine, Director of animal advocacy at Montreal\u2019s SPCA, 514-735-2711, ext 2245, or <a href=\"mailto:adevine@spcamontreal.com\">adevine@spcamontreal.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>About the SPCA: founded in Montreal in 1869, the Canadian Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was the first humane society in Canada.
