A cat named Tigger peeps out of his cage as he waits to be adopted during an SPCA no-fee adoption event in Montreal, Sunday, July 14, 2024. Locals flocked to a Montreal animal shelter today to offer a forever home for dozens of animals who were abandoned during the province's July 1 moving day.
In addition, the shelter saw a 21 per cent hike in people abandoning their pets in the first four months of 2024, in part due to rising living costs. The SPCA expected about 700 people to attend from all over the greater Montreal area, with nearly 200 animals up for grabs including one hundred cats and some 40 dogs.
