Chill out with a cool cat who will melt your heart.
Furry Friends is hosting an adopt-a-thon as part of PetSmart Charities’ National Adoption Week, running July 15 to 17.
Furry Friends is partnering with PetSmart Charities of Canada to host a National Adoption Weekend at its 33 Mapleview Drive East location.
Adoption fees range from $220 - $260 (cash and e-transfer). All cats and kittens are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and treated against parasites. Most are also microchipped.
Furry Friends Animal Shelter is a non-profit, no-kill organization dedicated to providing shelter and love to abandoned, lost or rescued animals in the Barrie community. They do not euthanize healthy animals for any reason. Furry Friends is a registered charity (#882610124), funded by donors and supporters and operated entirely by volunteers.
